While this sounds good there are much easier and objective diagnosis options. These sixteen for example. This will soon be as obsolete as buggy whips.

A startup company from Oxford University
(Oxford, UK) has developed software that analyzes CT scans from stroke
victims, putting the expertise of a stroke assessment team into the
hands of any doctor in an emergency room.
Brainomix'
(Oxford, UK) so-called e-ASPECTS software automates the Alberta Stroke
Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) pioneered by Alastair Buchan, Professor
of Stroke Medicine and Head of the Medical Sciences Division at the
university to identify and quantify signs of stroke.
Over the last 12 years, ASPECTS has been adopted worldwide. The original
ASPECTS system relies on a scoring system to assess the CT scans but
requires a stroke expert to gauge the images.
The automated e-ASPECTS system, on the other hand, encapsulates the
expertise of Professor Buchan and his team in software that
automatically analyses of the CT images, giving a score that can be used
by any doctor to assist in deciding on what intervention should be used
to treat a patient.
Professor Buchan initially developed ASPECTS to enable objective stroke
assessment using CT scanning instead of using the more expensive, time
consuming and less accessible magnetic resonance imaging.
Start-up Brainomix is led by Managing Director, Dr. Michalis Papadakis,
along with co-founders Professors Iris Grunwald and Alastair Buchan.
