Video call assessment for acute stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a video call with a doctor can help assess stroke symptoms quickly in the ambulance or emergency setting. It aims to see if this approach speeds up care and improves outcomes for people with possible stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are awake and can follow commands (not unconscious).

This study tests an AI tool that uses video and audio to help doctors quickly assess stroke severity. It may help improve stroke care by making evaluation faster and more consistent.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This study tests two new ways to quickly check if a person is having a stroke. It uses a blood test and a special light device to help doctors decide the best care faster.
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
