Description
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and yet most people don’t know how to recognize a stroke.
This app shows the signs of a stroke in simple easy graphics. If you or someone else is having a stroke this app will call 911 directly and instantly send text messages to as many as 3 emergency contacts notifying them that you are having a medical emergency and calling 911.
If you are looking for the closest certified stroke center (not all hospitals have stroke treatment capabilities) this app will find the closest certified stroke center for you.
Device and stroke center location is approximate, and may not always be accurate.

Ratings and Reviews
Way too heavy for an ER app
I saw this app advertised in the NYTimes. I was looking for a stroke app that would quickly show me the symptoms and maybe help me call 911. This app requires u to go thru many screens just to get to the symptoms page, and it wants your name and tries to harvest your ER contacts too. The configuration screen says that when u dial 911, it will send a message to your family ER contacts telling them to call 911 and tell responders where u are. This makes no sense. Removed the app from my iPhone. Yikes.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for downloading our app and sharing your feedback! While the tutorial helps new users get oriented through our multiple features, we agree it could be optional for tech-savvy users. We're exploring a "skip tutorial" option for those who prefer to opt out of the set up.
We would also like to assure you, your phone contacts are accessed only to enable specific "Emergency Contacts" feature and are never used for other purposes. Your privacy is very important to us. Thanks for helping us improve!
Save a Life
No one thinks they will have a stroke. They may think other things could happen to them like a car accident or an ankle sprain, but not a stroke. That could never happen to me or a loved one.
This app is phenomenal. It notifies one’s loved ones, it calls 911. It identifies certified stroke hospitals close to you and provides maps to get there. Everyone should have this app on their phone.
