Abstract
This research aimed to design and develop augmented reality (AR) media for stroke education using a research and development methodology. The study assessed the effectiveness of AR technology in educating patients, involving three AR experts and three stroke experts. The research followed four stages. First, a literature review on stroke pathophysiology, health literacy, and AR technology informed the development of semi-structured interview questions. Interviews with AR experts identified markerless AR technology as the most effective for knowledge dissemination. Second, the AR application was developed based on stroke experts’ insights, covering four key topics recommended by the experts: 1) What is stroke? 2) Symptoms of stroke, 3) stroke prevention, and 4) stroke treatment. In the third stage, the media’s quality was evaluated by both AR and stroke experts using questionnaires to gather both quantitative and open-ended feedback from all participants. Recommendations from these open-ended responses directly informed content updates. The final AR media (application) incorporated revised educational videos, resulting in more accurate and comprehensive stroke information accessible to users. Both AR and stroke experts rated it as “highly suitable” (mean = 5.00, SD = 0.00 for AR experts; mean = 4.74, SD = 0.21 for stroke experts), confirming its high quality in content and presentation. The iterative, expert-informed development process demonstrates AR’s potential as a scalable, accessible tool for stroke education. Future research should assess the application’s impact on patient outcomes and its potential integration into broader community health programs.
