The Stroke Triage App serves as a guide for personalized decision making about patients with suspected stroke transported by ambulance. It is developed to assist paramedics in the field in deciding to which hospital a patient should be transported. The Stroke Triage App calculates the probability of good outcome of a suspected stroke patient for two transportation strategies: drive to the nearest general hospital or directly to a thrombectomy-capable intervention center farther away. The probabilities are estimated based on various parameters, including ambulance driving times based on the real-time position (GPS), work flow times in the hospitals, and the RACE score. Based on these probabilities, the Stroke Triage App will advise the optimal transportation strategy for each individual patient. Paramedics who are associated with a participating ambulance service and who successfully completed the embedded e-learning can receive access to the triage function.
