STROKE-ER

aims to end the chaos that surrounds stroke management in the ER.

Currently, most ERs have a myriad of conflicting 'pathways' and guidelines and 'teams' and 'protocols', but it all comes down to the moment when you as the treating physician is standing in front of the patient trying to make a simple YES or NO decision.

NOTHING IS IGNORED OR GLOSSED OVER

And to make that YES or No decision, the most important thing is to be able to consider all of the data that MUST be considered before making the decision. And no one can dispute that the amount of data that must be processed and taken into consideration before making a decision is fairly extensive. Inevitably,

when the ER is busy, much of this gets overlooked or glossed over or simply not looked at.

FAST, TRANSPARENT AND THOROUGH

The objective of STROKE-ER is simple. It enables you to enter all the pertinent data that is required to make a balanced decision,

without overlooking anything. Data input is fast and intuitive and you can do it all on your android phone. The app then processes this data and gives you a summary that you can review to make sure that the data is accurate and gives you a chance to fill in anything you have overlooked. Then you hit ANALYSIS and the algorithm processes your data and presents you with clear suggestions.

The whole thing should take around 10 minutes. In addition to processing patient eligibility for IV TPA during the 4.5 hr window,

STROKE-ER also processes eligibility for endovascular treatment under the 6-hour window and also processes eligibility under DEFUSE3 and DAWN criteria.

LEGALESE

Stroke ER is not an EMR, and does not accept or store or relay any identifiable patient information.

Please note that this is an educational aid, and STROKE-ER does not claim to diagnose or treat any disease or condition and claims no accuracy and has not been validated in any studies. Medicine is an ever-changing science. We do NOT warrant that the information in this app is accurate or complete and we are not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of the aforesaid information. Like any other tool, it works best in the hands of those already well versed in the field.
