So who is going to sponsor the research that determines which stroke diagnosis tool is best? I guess we will just have to accept that we are invisible and stroke is not worth fighting.
The current way of waiting until the symptoms gets so bad the stroke becomes obvious is a complete failure. Ask your ER doctors which one they are testing.
There are others in the running.
1. Pupil response via infrared light
2. Drop of blood analysis
3. MindReader headset designed to detect concussions in athletes
4. Urinary Proteomics to Support Diagnosis of Stroke
5. Handheld brain bleed detector gets FDA approval
6. Handheld Traumatic Brain Injury Diagnostic Device
7. Mobile brain scanners can change the world
8. Blood Test May Help Spot Stroke
9. presence of acrolein in a blood sample
10. Scanner helps find traumatic brain injuries
11. Brain oximeter and frontal near-infrared spectroscopy
12. Ischiban headband

People who already had one stroke are at an increased risk of suffering
through another, which means a timely response to any signs of stroke is
essential. Yet, symptoms can often be muted and difficult to notice,
plus it takes precious time for them to fully develop. Moreover, strokes
that occur during sleep may go completely undetected and leave a person
permanently disabled, or worse. An Israeli company called Neurokeeper has
developed an EEG (electroencephalography) headset that can purportedly
identify the signature of a stroke and notify the person wearing it and
any caretakers to take action.
