RACE Scale vs NeuroED
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
RACE Scale
This application calculates the RACE scale, a prehospital stroke severity assessment tool. It aids in predicting large vessel occlusions in suspected acute stroke patients, facilitating timely management and transfer during a Stroke Code. The tool is designed for rapid neurological assessment in critical situations where time is of the essence.
- Calculates RACE scale for stroke severity
- Predicts large vessel occlusion
- Aids prehospital neurological assessment
- Facilitates patient management and transfer
- Supports Stroke Code protocols

RACE Scale (Rapid Arterial oCclusion Evaluation) Application designed to calculate the RACE scale, a prehospital stroke severity scale that predicts, in a simple and reliable way, the presence of a large vessel occlusion in patients with suspected acute stroke. It is intended for the initial prehospital neurological assessment within the Stroke Code protocol, with the aim of facilitating patient management and transfer, where time is critical (Time is brain).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NeuroED at every 3 weeks against RACE Scale's every 8 months. NeuroED also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
