Using Trauma Timer as a central point of reference eliminates any confusion as to the exact status of the protocol among the medical professionals involved. The display can be viewed on multiple devices as well as "pushed" to a large screen.
Trauma Timer's large digital clocks and the animated, color coded stopwatch make it easy to read even from a distance. Checklists for each phase are displayed below the stopwatch to keep the entire team focused on the task at hand.
At the conclusion of the protocol the results are displayed on the screen, saved in the database and can be printed for the patient's chart. Using our secure reports and analytics portal, the team can evaluate results over time to focus on areas to improve performance.
Trauma Timer is a platform independent web app that runs on the devices you already have - Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Chrome. A subscription gives your facility use of the app on multiple stations, big-screen central monitoring, secure storage of results and online analysis reports to help you measure and improve your performance.

Effects of a Feedback-Demanding Stroke Clock on Acute Stroke Management
In a randomized trial conducted at Saarland University Medical Center in Homburg, Germany, Dr. Klaus Fassbender and his team concluded that "the use of a stroke clock demanding active feedback significantly improves acute stroke-management metrics and, thus, represents a potential low-cost strategy for streamlining time-sensitive stroke treatment".
A survey of results from 322,847 patients in 790 US hospitals conducted by Dr. Lee H. Schwamm and team found that "Get With the Guidelines–Stroke participation was associated with increased adherence to all stroke performance measures. Markedly improved stroke care was seen in all hospitals regardless of size, geography, and teaching status".
In our own study, we tested Trauma Timer in an eastern US community hospital’s Primary Stroke Center. We compared the results of more than two years of using the app versus the prior two years at the same institution. The hospital's tPA administration rate increased from 15% to 21% with an average DTN time of 38 minutes - down from an average of 81 minutes. This hospital was able to maintain DTN times of under 45 minutes 75% of the time and under 60 minutes 90% of the time.
Based on the compelling results of Trauma Timer as a stroke clock, we are working to implement additional time-critical protocols including STEMI and sepsis.
