The Spot a Stroke F.A.S.T. app
The American Stroke Association is proud to introduce the “Spot a Stroke F.A.S.T.” app, now available in English and Spanish for free download.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and number five cause of death in the United States, behind diseases of the heart and cancer. Approximately 795,000 individuals will have a stroke each year; of these, 167,000 individuals will die and more will suffer a major disability.
F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of a stroke. When you can spot the signs, youll know quickly that you need to call 9-1-1 for help. This is important because the sooner a stroke victim gets to the hospital, the sooner theyll get treatment. And that can make a remarkable difference in their recovery.

Latest reviews of Spot a Stroke F.A.S.T. app for iPhone and iPad
Take quiz doesnt take you to a quiz. Pressing F doesnt take you to Face. Etc. some basic reprogramming could make it a lot better. The glitches could really flummox someone trying to use it in a hurry, which is what youd be doing in an emergency.
The idea of this app is excellent but the following needs improvement: when clicking on "Award winning hospitals" near you it shows you a little pin on a map. How is that helpful I ask. One needs the name and telephone and driving directions to the nearest hospital so we can drive our loved one to that nearest hospital as fast as possible. Please make this crucial update!
What a great resource to have at my fingertips! It tells me what I need to know to recognize a stroke.
There is absolutely no point to this app as it offers nothing thats not readily available on you tube or online. Probably made as just a publicity stunt
There are two reasons to use such an app 1) stroke symptoms 2) locate a stroke ACCREDITED hospital. To call them "award winning" is huge error. I want an accredited hospital not award winning
