Video call assessment for suspected stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of live video calls between on-call neurologists and emergency medical technicians to enhance the assessment of patients suspected of having a stroke. The goal is to improve the accuracy and speed of prehospital evaluations, which are critical for timely treatment of stroke. By utilizing video technology, the study aims to determine if this method can increase the feasibility and performance of existing symptom-based stroke scales in a prehospital setting. The trial will focus on patients suspected of stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset.
