Rhea Research Study

Study Information

Primary Objective: This research project aims to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of a self-guided, digital rehabilitation platform intervention (Rhea Health’s Active Recovery) for the treatment of individuals with a concussion.

The use of a personal active rehabilitation plan following a concussion may help with symptoms and recovery. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can be used to help with the self-management of a variety of health conditions. Also, mHealth technologies can help provide resources, send reminders, and personalize information in real time. The Rhea mobile tool gives users a personal exercise program to help with concussion recovery. The goal of this study is to assess the ease of use of the Rhea and identify areas to improve the app.
