Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

On-site, pre-hospital clinical assessment of patients with suspected acute stroke can accelerate further diagnostic and treatment pathways after patient arrival at the emergency room or the dedicated stroke center. Interactive video and audio streaming connecting on-site paramedics to a stroke center based stroke physicians can help to overcome these hurdles. Patient evaluation by simple, pre-defined assessment measures and a standardized questionnaire may enable a pre-hospital decision on the need of expedited diagnostic and treatment procedures after arrival at the dedicated stroke center.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

patients with suspected stroke

patients with suspected stroke due to paramedic's initial evaluation of face, arm, and speech function will be diagnosed with audio-video-streaming of suspected stroke symptoms and signs

Audio-video-streaming of suspected stroke symptoms and signs

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The diagnosis based on the patient evaluation by end-to-end encrypted real-time video will be compared to the gold standard, consisting of an in-person neurological examination by a stroke specialist in patients with suspected acute stroke.
