Abstract
An embodiment of the invention relates to a wireless attachment device, having an attachment section configured for attachment to a patient; an audio device configured to pick up pressure waves from the patient'"'"'s brain and output data represention of the pressure waves; and a wireless transmitter connected to the audio device and configured to transmit the data representating the pressure waves. Another embodiment of the invention relates to a method for detecting a cerebrovascular accident comprises analyzing data representing pressure waves from blood vessels within a patient'"'"'s head to recognize one or more signatures of a cerebrovascular accident. Yet additional embodiments relates to a system having the wireless attachment device.
