CodestrokeEmergency 17+

CodestrokeEmergency allows ER physicians or nurses in the emergency room of a hospital to review data of a stroke patient before that patient arrives to the hospital. When that patient arrives, the physician or nurse can update preliminary data (sent by CodestrokeAmbulance), which is encrypted at rest on a remote server. This ensures data integrity and authenticity (HIPAA Safe Harbor). After the physician or nurse submits data, he or she will be notified if the patient data was successfully updated. A timestamp (unique to CodestrokeEmergency) is generated for tracking and record-keeping by various medical agencies.

This app is supposed to be used after CodestrokeAmbulance and before CodestrokeNeurology. After the CodestrokeEmergency user updates the data, a neurologist will have arrived to the ER to examine the patient for themselves and make updates to the data via CodestrokeNeurology. The neurologist can also review the data before they even see the patient, which can facilitate more efficient treatment.

1) CodestrokeEmergency is intended for usage by medical professionals in the emergency room, who are treating an acute stroke patient (ie. ER physicians/nurses).
2) The application serves as a secure communications tool, using HIPAA-compliant SSL encryption, for the
above professionals to provide early notification of a patient's status. It is intended to supplement, but not
replace the primary medical communications channel. It is mostly a tracking tool primarily (similar to paperwork transferred amongst staff) which, while not incorporating all concepts of telemedicine (audio/video), is very useful.
3) The application is free and not intended to access paid content/services.
4) Users need to register for this free service directly with the developers before they can use the app.
5) CodestrokeEmergency will be a private app, able to be downloaded by businesses (who contact the developers) through the Volume Purchase Program.
