Background: Tele-stroke has been an efficient cost-effective way to standardize care and improve access immediate neurologic for rural hospitals other areas underserved by neurologists. Virtual telestroke support is commonly used in the Emergency Department. Hands-free wearable technology allows seamless communication faster more informed decisions. It can advance triage of stroke patients into pre-hospital setting at scene or ambulance facilitate routing comprehensive centers. Objective: To assess feasibility reliability Xpert Eye TM solution, a Google Glass- based solution evaluating with suspected acute stroke. Methods: Consecutive were evaluated concurrently on-site neurologist wearing remotely located through platform. Inter-rater calculating NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores was evaluated. Results: Seventeen included. There high degree correlation total NIHSS score (ICC 0.99 weighted kappa 0.88) across all sub-items 0.81-1 0.68-1) between two examiners. The maximum difference 3. Conclusion: use tele-stroke feasible reliable. Using solutions setting, potentially triaging appropriate centers community.
