Abstract
In this work we present a system for decision support in emergency stroke care developed as a part of integrated health-care environment. Presented system consists of four interconnected modules, each responsible for supporting medical staff in making correct decision at each step of emergency stroke care: Extra Rapid Transport module, Neurological Diagnosis module, Ischemic Stroke Confirmation module and Thrombolytic Therapy module. Initial experiments were reported with concluded clinical remarks.
