    Needs and Challenges of Post-Acute Brain Injury Patients in Understanding Personal Recovery
    (ACM, 2017-10) Karanam, Yamini; Miller, Andrew D.; Brady, Erin; Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    Recovery from brain injury is a complex and longitudinal process consisting of clinical recovery, illness management, and personal recovery. Lack of initiatives to create awareness about expected recovery and tools for helping patients understand their progress make the personal recovery journey challenging and frustrating. In this paper, we discuss results from interviews with five post-acute brain injury patients about their needs and challenges in understanding their personal recovery.
