Stroke treatment requires immediate attention. The Video Stroke Assessment (VSA) System enables a neurological specialist to remotely perform the stroke exam via the Internet by controlling a video camera and its movements along a mobility track in front of the patient. VSA also performs a partially-autonomous examination based on the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) that provides unbiased quantitative results along with the video and audio playback to assist in accurate diagnosis. The whole exam and its results are then archived.
