Video-based stroke care for suspected stroke in the ambulance
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests using video calls (telemedicine) to help ambulance teams quickly connect with stroke specialists. It aims to improve how stroke is diagnosed and treated in the emergency setting.

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 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 study looks at how emergency medical teams can better help people with stroke or mini-stroke symptoms. It aims to improve the way stroke care is started in the ambulance.
This study tests whether using telemedicine (remote health technology) combined with care at a local village clinic can better prevent strokes and manage stroke risk in older adults living in rural areas. Participants will receive ongoing health monitoring and support tailored to their stroke risk factors.
This study compares two ways of caring for stroke patients who aren't candidates for emergency clot-removal surgery. Half will receive care through a virtual stroke unit (telemedicine), and half will receive traditional in-person care at the hospital. The goal is to see if both approaches work equally well for recovery and safety.
This trial looks at what makes it hard for people to get stroke treatment quickly. It uses a phone app to track where you live and what obstacles you face, to help improve care for others in the future.
