What does the app do?
Stroke Riskometer app if for anyone wanting to calculate their risk of stroke and understand and track stroke-related risk factors. This is a simple app that calculates the user's risk of stroke within the next 5 or 10 years based on a number of risk factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle and other health factors. Useful features include:
- Videos addressing topics such as what is a stroke, what are the causes of stroke, smoking, diet and nutrition.
- Goal menu that allows users to set up reminders with notifications for lifestyle changes such as stop smoking, increase physical activity, improve diet, reduce weight, reduce stress and reduce alcohol intake.
The app also provides information about the key signs of a stroke, risk factors that are applicable to the individual and ability to track relevant risk factors (e.g. diet and exercise) and the overall risk score. Users are prompted to choose whether they want to allow their data to be used in a research study into stroke risk and prevention. Users can save, track or share their results. For a more detailed description of the app, see App Store, Google Play or App website and for a detailed review, see Reviews.
