A stroke is always a medical emergency. This App is based on the F.A.S.T Test and lets you quickly recognize the signs of a stroke. A stroke is not a heart attack. A stroke happens when the supply of blood to the brain is suddenly interrupted. Some strokes are fatal while others cause permanent or temporary disability. The longer a stroke remains untreated, the greater the chance of stroke related brain damage. Emergency medical treatment soon after symptoms begin improves the chance of survival and successful rehabilitation.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and yet most people don’t know how to recognize a stroke. This app shows the signs of a stroke in simple easy graphics. If you or someone else is having a stroke this app will call 911 directly and instantly send text messages to as many as 3 emergency contacts notifying them that you are having a medical emergency and calling 911. If you are looking for the closest certified stroke center (not all hospitals have stroke treatment capabilities) this app will find the closest certified stroke center for you. Device and stroke center location is approximate, and may not always be accurate.

F.A.S.T Stroke Test holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 33% of F.A.S.T Stroke Test's written reviews are positive against 50% of Stroke Awareness Foundation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
