                                         APPLICATION DESCRIPTION

 

The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale is now commonly used by neurologists,

 emergency physicians, nurses, and other medical personnel to quickly and accurately

 grade the severity of stroke signs, especially for very acute strokes being considered

 for intravenous thrombolysis or other acute interventional therapies.  The NIH Stroke

 Scale iPhone Application was developed to assist medical personnel to quickly and 

 easily perform this test without having to search for testing materials or manually having 

 to add up the subtest scores.  The interface is intuitive.  Changing between subtests in 

 either direction is done by either scrolling or by using the Page Control.  The screen 

 shots below show representative views of the user interface.  Tapping on a picture will 

 make any following pictures display.  The final page shows a summary of the test 

 results.  Instructions are provided for each subtest to explain details of the testing.

 

 

                   

 

                          

Tip:  To scroll without accidentally hitting a scoring button, touch over the NIHSS Score label.

 

Note:  Low memory warnings occur occasionally on iPhone applications.  If this should occur with the NIHSS application, it will generally correct itself and allow completion of test scoring.  If the application should hang or crash, it may be necessary to reboot the iPhone to free up memory for completion of the testing.
