Mobile health (m-Health) has emerged as a rapidly developing area that is transforming clinical
research and health care on a global scale. In this paper, we describe a conversational app for the
therapy of stroke rehabilitation. The main objective of the conversational app is to help recovering
cognitive abilities of patients by means of a set of proposed exercises, which are divided into 8 categories
focused on specific abilities. These categories have been defined after a detailed review of
the guidelines for rehabilitation and training therapies. In addition, the application integrates a multimodal
conversational interface to facilitate human-computer interaction, which has been specially
designed for the elderly and patients with motor or visual or disabilities. The exercises provided by
the application can be easily adapted to the specific users’ requirements and preferences by means of
the incorporation, deletion or modification of routines stored into a specific database isolated from
the logic of the application.
