App to help paramedics assess suspected stroke
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 standard of care. If you're having a stroke and call for help, the app might help speed up the right treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been suspected of having a stroke by a paramedic or emergency dispatcher.
- The app and phone must work properly for the evaluation.
- You cannot be in jail or prison.
- You cannot have seen a doctor before the paramedics assessed you.
- Your stroke must not be a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of bleeding on the brain's surface).
