StrokeCoder

About

Designed for use during stroke code activations, StrokeCoder helps improve communication, reduce documentation burden, and support rapid clinical decision-making in high-pressure environments. The app brings essential stroke workflows together in one place, reducing the need to switch between notes, calculators, and reference tools during urgent evaluations. Whether you are responding to an emergency department stroke code, evaluating a transfer, or documenting inpatient neurologic changes, StrokeCoder helps organize key information quickly and clearly. Core features include: • Structured Stroke History Documentation Capture key elements of the initial evaluation including Last Known Normal, symptom onset, presenting deficits, anticoagulation status, blood pressure, glucose, thrombectomy considerations, and relevant exclusion factors. • NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Calculator Rapidly complete and document the NIHSS with built-in scoring support for efficient bedside use and cleaner reporting. • Time Since Last Known Normal (LKN) Guidance Track elapsed time from symptom onset and quickly visualize major treatment windows for thrombolysis, advanced imaging pathways, and thrombectomy consideration. • Clinical Decision Support Tools Includes bedside tools for: – ABCD² Score for TIA risk stratification – HINTS exam support for acute vestibular syndrome – Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) – ICH volume estimation – Aphasia classification guidance – Seizure workflow support • Cleaner Communication and Documentation Organize findings into a consistent, efficient workflow that improves handoff quality and reduces missed details during time-sensitive patient care. StrokeCoder was designed with a focus on real-world usability: fewer clicks, faster bedside access, and practical decision support when seconds matter. This app is intended for use by healthcare professionals and trainees as a clinical support tool and does not replace independent medical judgment, institutional protocols, or specialist consultation. Final treatment decisions should always be made based on individual patient circumstances and current clinical guidelines.
