🧄 What is the project about?
The Digital Support Products team are working on a new project about getting back in the kitchen and eating well after stroke.
We're looking to grow and diversify our content with themes exploring food after stroke and getting back in the kitchen. We hope to include topics that explore diverse cuisines, bring attention to helpful kitchen gadgets, show different ways of meal prepping and explore pureed food. We are keen to feature chefs with a stroke understanding/background.
So while there is an overarching theme of FOOD AFTER STROKE, we are currently conducting research to find out what kind of food/lifestyle content our audiences want from us. To help us structure the content and organise the video programme we want to understand what food-related stroke content is relevant to them (i.e. stroke survivors and carers etc) in their stroke recovery journey.
🍓 Background
My Stroke Guide connects you with others through our online community and provides you with information, aphasia friendly resources and support, 24/7.
We have over 200 videos on the physical and emotional effects of stroke, living well after stroke (recovery) and practical things to think about like finance, driving and adapting your home. Many also share their lived experiences of stroke as a survivor, carer and/or health professional.
In future, we would like the content we produce to be as varied and diverse as our users. We are looking to grow and diversify our content with themes exploring food after stroke and getting back in the kitchen, exploring diverse cuisines, helpful kitchen gadgets, meal prepping and pureed food, ideally featuring chefs with a stroke understanding/background.
The My Stroke Guide community is comprised of people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures, and creeds. We want them to feel more empowered when they view our content and to raise awareness of the challenges they face in their stroke recovery.
We have identified an opportunity to reach stroke survivors (and carers) at a stage in the recovery journey that many can find challenging and quite personal, in this project we would like to create video content that features:
Cooking one-handed
Adapting the kitchen
Kitchen gadgets that can help
Meal prepping
Healthy recipes/ingredients to suit a new diet/lifestyle
Pureed food i.e., swallowing problems
In this project we are looking to partner up/collaborate with other organisations and influencers in the field to create stroke specific dietary content.

🍨 Major dependencies
Logical/casual: Dependences that are causal in nature. Such dependencies are intrinsic to any project and cannot be avoided. Logical dependency describes tasks that depend on the output of the preceding tasks, so they cannot be run concurrently.
Resource: Because it is dependent on the availability of shared resources, it is due to a project constraint.
Preferential: Generally, these dependencies are influenced by the members of the team, other stakeholders, and industrial practices. When tasks follow developed standard practices, they are subject to preferred dependencies.
External: Things are bound to happen that are beyond your control. It is impossible for project managers to influence the progress of their projects when some tasks depend on outside factors. Keeping a backup/contingency plan in place for these dependencies is recommended.
Collaboration: Multi-team projects are often complex, and teams depend on each other to complete them on time. Having clear and consistent communication and timelines are essential to complete the project and ensure you are always leaving room for error. Full transparency is paramount.
