NIH Score Stroke Tools is a newly released application for iOS14+ users that aims to assist physicians in managing patients during the acute phase of stroke. Designed by Mikael Cohen, this app provides a range of essential tools and guidelines to support medical professionals in making informed decisions.

The app includes a NIHSS calculator, allowing physicians to quickly assess the severity of a stroke and monitor patient progress. It also offers comprehensive AHA and ESO Guidelines for thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, late thrombectomy, wake up stroke, and more, ensuring physicians have access to the latest recommendations.

One standout feature of NIH Score Stroke Tools is the time manager, which allows physicians to input the hour of symptom onset and hospital admission. With this information, the app automatically calculates the door-to-needle time, streamlining the decision-making process.

Additionally, the app incorporates tools such as the ABCD2 score for calculating stroke risk in patients with transient ischemic attacks and the CHA2DS2 VASc score for assessing stroke risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The Modified Rankin Scale and ASPECTS score are also included to aid in evaluating patient outcomes and determining treatment plans.

For added convenience, NIH Score Stroke Tools is compatible with Apple Watch, offering quick access to key features such as the ABCD2 score, CHA2DS2 VASc score, Modified Rankin Scale, and ASPECTS score.

Overall, NIH Score Stroke Tools is a comprehensive app tailored specifically for physicians in the field of neurology or emergency medicine. However, it can also be beneficial for residents and medical students seeking to enhance their knowledge and decision-making skills. With its range of tools and guidelines, this app is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals managing stroke patients.
