1. A device for detecting a symptom of stroke of a user, comprising:
- a user interface for obtaining a user measured response;
an indicator;
a processor connected to the user interface and the indicator; and
a memory storage device connected to the processor, the memory storage device containing an algorithm executable by the processor, the algorithm defining a preset condition pertaining to the stroke symptom, and the algorithm activating the indicator if the measured response meets the preset condition, wherein the indicator urges the user to seek medical attention.
