Swipe Out Stroke (SOS): Feasibility of Using a Consumer Based Electronic Application to Improve Compliance With Weight Loss in Obese Minority Stroke Patients

This pilot study evaluates the use of a mobile application to improve weight loss in obese stroke patients. The investigators hypothesize that acute stroke patients who use the mobile application are more likely to achieve a minimum 5% weight reduction during the critical six months post-stroke, yielding considerable improvement in stroke risk factors.
