Amazing things Kourosh's made
2. A democratized NIH Stroke Scale calculator with efficiency algorithms, clinical guardrails & UX/UI design to allow the most inexperienced user to reliably assess a stroke patient faster & with higher accuracy than the original pen-to-paper version. Adoption & use in pre-hospital settings by paramedics & other first-responders would reduce the amount of time required to administer the life & limb clot-busting medication, t-PA.
