Detection of hEad Pulse for Ischemic StrOke Verification Study (EPISODE_VS)

July 26, 2023 updated by: MindRhythm, Inc.

EPISODE-VS: hEad Pulse for Ischemic StrOke Verification Study

Prehospital providers encounter patients with suspected stroke frequently. Prehospital providers need tools to help triage large vessel stroke patients to comprehensive stroke centers. This device will identify large vessel stroke to ultimately improve triage decisions and optimize outcomes.

Detailed Description

Patients suspected of stroke by a prehospital provider will have a headset placed to record their headpulse during the encounter. These measurements will be used to assess the accuracy of the device at predicting the presence of large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. The MindRhythm, Inc., Harmony® 5000 device is intended to be used in the pre-hospital setting by medical professionals to diagnose large vessel occlusion stroke in adults suspected of having a stroke.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The primary effectiveness objective is to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of LVO diagnosis with Harmony®.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months
The subject's final discharge diagnosis based on the CTA scan and the neurologist's assessment will serve as the "ground truth" diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity will be estimated as the point estimate (Harmony® identified correctly divided by the ground truth number); the confidence intervals will be estimated by the Clopper-Pearson method (exact intervals for proportions).
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
