About StrokeSiren
What is StrokeSiren?
StrokeSiren is a stroke-focused emergency alert and coordination system designed to help patients, caregivers, and first responders act in the moments after a suspected stroke. It is currently in pre-launch — you can join the waitlist for launch updates.
When does it launch?
We don't have a public launch date yet. Joining the waitlist is the best way to be notified — we use your email only to send launch updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Is StrokeSiren a medical device?
No. StrokeSiren is designed to support faster recognition and coordination around stroke emergencies. It is not a substitute for emergency medical services or professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. In an emergency, contact your local emergency number (such as 911 in the United States) immediately.
Does it replace 911 or my local emergency number?
No. StrokeSiren is designed to complement existing emergency services, not replace them. When you trigger an alert, you can also reach emergency services directly the way you normally would.
Who it is for
Who is StrokeSiren built for?
Stroke patients, caregivers and family, first responders, and hospitals and EMS teams. Each role gets tailored views — for example, caregivers see live status, while responders get a structured pre-arrival summary.
I am a caregiver. What will I see?
Live status of any active incident, who has been notified, who is responding, ETAs, and the medical context that has been shared with responders. You can also request a proof-of-life check-in.
I work in EMS or an ER. How does this help me?
Responders receive a structured stroke packet at the time of dispatch — BE-FAST cues, last-known-well, medications (including blood thinners), home access, and household hazards — plus a clean handoff summary at the door.
How it works
How is an alert triggered?
Multiple ways: a tap, press-and-hold, voice command, the watch SOS, a lock-screen shortcut, fall detection, or a missed proof-of-life check-in.
What devices are supported?
We're building for iOS first, with watch and lock-screen integration. Web access for caregivers and responders will be available at launch. Exact device requirements will be published in the launch notes.
How is my location handled?
Location is shared with your designated care team and emergency contacts only during an active incident, unless you turn on lock-screen sharing. You can review and edit who sees what at any time after launch.
Privacy and pricing
Will my data be safe?
We treat medical context and emergency data with care, use industry-standard safeguards, and share data only with your designated contacts, vetted service providers, or where required by law. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Will StrokeSiren cost money?
Pricing has not been finalized. Waitlist members will receive launch pricing details before everyone else.
How do I join the waitlist?
