Abstract
Post-rehabilitation support aids socio-professional reintegration. Information about options for post-rehabilitation support following stroke is provided by an application based on Wiki-principles and semantic technologies (Virtual Guide). Core feature is a knowledge-management system. Regional health care professionals contribute initial content for the database. User involvement is facilitated by an interface based on internet blog posts describing prototypical situations stroke patients face during post-rehabilitation. On the condition that sufficient users proactively provide regular contributions, the platform will, ideally, develop into a living system representing regional infrastructures for post-rehabilitation support both accurately and up to date.
