AI could spot stroke severity in seconds, study aims to prove it
NCT ID NCT07538492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can accurately score stroke severity as well as a trained doctor. About 297 adults with a recent stroke will have their speech and facial movements recorded. The AI will analyze these recordings to produce a G-FAST score, which helps decide if a stroke is likely caused by a blocked blood vessel. If the AI works well, it could help emergency teams start the right treatment faster, even before the patient reaches the hospital.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged ≥ 18 years, of either sex. 2. Clinically diagnosed with stroke, and confirmed by cranial CT/MRI to have ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. 3. Onset within 7 days. 4. Alert and oriented, able to cooperate with standardized video and audio data collection. 5. The patient or their legally authorized representative understands the study and voluntarily provides written informed consent (including consent for audio-visual data collection). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Neurological deficits caused by non-stroke etiologies (e.g., brain tumor, traumatic brain injury, encephalitis). 2. Patients with impaired consciousness, severe cognitive dysfunction, or psychiatric disorders that prevent cooperation with video collection and scale assessment. 3. Patients with severe visual or hearing impairment, or global aphasia, who are unable to follow instructions. 4. Critically ill patients requiring immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation or endotracheal intubation, making video and audio data collection impossible. 5. Patients with severe facial or limb deformities, or large-area dressings that severely interfere with camera data collection. 6. Patients with unilateral or bilateral upper limb amputation, severe deformity, unhealed fracture, joint fixation, or severe contracture.
