About

Stroke Simulator

Features
Read full description

The Stroke Simulator helps trainees and residents and doctors involved in stroke care learn the various algorithms and reasoning that are used in stroke care by entering any imaginary data of their choice, and understanding if based on the hypothetical data they entered , the hypothetical care scenario would be one that qualifies for a specific stroke management option. This helps doctors train for real life situations by simulating scenarios they would eventually face. Of great value in this exercise is the fact that at the end you get a detailed explanation as to why criteria was not met, instead of merely giving a yes or no answer. This goes a long way in helping get a firm grasp on the scientific facts that you have to know clearly. The simulator does not accept any personal identifiers or any PHI in any manner.
