Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the usability of the system and its accordance with the users' needs. This evaluation will consider the effectiveness and the efficiency of the system, as well as stroke survivors' satisfaction. The effectiveness and the efficiency of the system will be measured by:

* The relationship between the control of stroke survivors' daily activities and their risk of having a secondary stroke,

* The decrease of the need for caregivers,

* And consequently an improvement in stroke survivors' self-management.
