Smartphone app vs standard care for stroke assessment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares using a smartphone app to help paramedics assess a suspected stroke versus the usual method. It aims to see if the app can improve how quickly and accurately stroke is identified in the field.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or the person having symptoms must be suspected of having a stroke by a paramedic or emergency dispatcher.
- The trial team must be able to use the app or telephone without technical problems.
- You cannot be in prison or jail.
- You cannot have already been seen by a doctor before the paramedics start their assessment.
- The suspected stroke cannot be caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain (called a subarachnoid hemorrhage).

This trial tests a smartphone app called Stroke Alarm to see if it helps people who have had a recent stroke, mini-stroke, or have untreated atrial fibrillation get faster care. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a smartphone, and had a relevant event in the last 2 weeks.
This trial tests a new way for paramedics to quickly identify and prioritize stroke patients before they reach the hospital, which could help get you the right treatment faster.
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.
This trial is testing a smartphone app that helps guide patients with a recent stroke to the right place for care, if they did not come by ambulance. It is for people who have already received clot-busting treatment.
This trial tests a digital app designed to help people recover after a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA). You'd use the app on your smartphone or tablet at home to track your health and get support during recovery.
This trial tests a smartphone-based system that helps people who recently had a stroke or TIA manage their risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes after leaving the hospital. It's designed to see if this tool can prevent another stroke.
