Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about how StrokeShield works? We believe in transparency. Here are answers to common questions about our tool, its technology, and how to interpret your results.
What is StrokeShield and who is it for?
StrokeShield is a free educational tool designed to help you understand your potential risk factors for stroke—a medical emergency where blood flow to the brain is reduced. The assessment is for any adult interested in their cardiovascular health and takes less than two minutes to complete.
This tool is NOT for you if you are experiencing stroke symptoms (e.g., face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty). Please call 911 immediately in that case.
How does the risk analysis work?
Our system uses a sophisticated "ensemble model"—think of it as a team of analytical specialists. We trained several models on a large, public, and anonymized health dataset. When you enter your data, each model provides an expert analysis, and the final percentage is a consensus from this team. This provides a more robust estimate than a single model could alone.
For the most accurate result, use precise numbers for BMI and glucose. If you don't have them, an estimate is fine, but the result may be less personalized.
What do my results mean and what's next?
Your result is not a medical diagnosis. It is a statistical estimation to be used as a conversation starter with a healthcare professional. A high percentage doesn't guarantee a stroke, and a low percentage doesn't mean zero risk.
The best next step is to discuss your results with a doctor. Furthermore, your risk can change! Many factors are modifiable through lifestyle improvements like diet and exercise, so you can work with your doctor on a plan to lower your risk over time.
My score seems high (or low). How accurate is this?
The score is a statistical estimation, not a guarantee. Our models are trained to find patterns in data, but they can't predict the future for an individual. If your score seems surprising, it may be because the model is weighing factors differently than you'd expect. For example, age is a very significant risk factor that can heavily influence the result. The most important thing is not to focus on the exact number, but to use it as a reason to speak with a healthcare professional.
What are the limitations of this tool?
While powerful, this tool has limitations. It does not account for all possible risk factors for stroke, such as family history, specific dietary habits, or cholesterol levels, as these were not in the dataset used for training. It is a snapshot based only on the data you provide. A comprehensive risk assessment can only be done by a qualified doctor who can consider your full health profile.
Is my data secure and private?
Yes. We take your privacy very seriously. The assessment is completely anonymous. We do not ask for your name or email, and we do not store or track your individual responses after you close the session. Your information is used only to calculate the result and is then discarded.
