Background: Stroke is one of main causes of morbimortality in Brazil, even though it has prevention and care strategies, showing need to improve strategies1 . Digital Health Solutions (DHS) can implement stroke prevention strategies, strengthening patient care and management2 . Objective: To describe initial process of developing DHS with stroke theme (ST) based on public research. Methodology: Cross-sectional study based on form with 12 questions, which outline a profile of users about DHS with ST. Form was aimed at people over 18 year-old who did not have an academic background in human health. Study carried out by the Google Forms® between January and April 2021. Results: With 80 participants, 51.2% women and 48.8% men. 20% under 20 years, 73.8% between 20 and 40, 2.5% between 40 and 60, and 3.7% over 60 years. 62.4% seek knowledge about health from unofficial sources. 62.5% report they rarely seek health information. 67.5% do not have knowledge to detect stroke. Although 32.5% have a DHS on their phones, 97.5% consider it important to learn about stroke in DHS, and 83.8% are interested in it. 55% would use it to recognize a stroke, 25% to have prevention information, 8.8% to use it in urgency, and 11.2% marked three items. 85% never used DHS with ST. Conclusion: Findings shows DHS with ST would educate in health and help people with suspected stroke. DHS would assist in creation of health promotion and stroke prevention.
