Since the iPad has been out since 2010, why has it taken so long to get all stroke rehab information available on one? Failures on a massive scale from the stroke associations and your doctors.

After a stroke or traumatic brain injury, many people experience
difficulty speaking or understanding what others are saying. The good
news is that the brain is able to repair itself to some extent,
with the help of cognitive and speech therapy programs. The bad news
is, the rehabilitation process is expensive and can involve weekly
visits to specialty clinics.
A startup called Constant Therapy
converted years’ worth of aphasia rehabilitation research at Boston
University into a digitized cognitive-communication therapy program that
patients can use on iPads from their homes.
Now the Boston-based company has just scored its first round of outside capital from Boston University, TiE Angels Boston and serial entrepreneur Andy Palmer to continue developing and marketing the platform. Constant Therapy didn’t disclose how much was raised, but a recent SEC filing indicates it was $605,000.
