Ratings and reviews

The interface is easy to use and understand. The question mark button could be a little more prominent so it will be easier to find/toggle for people not familiar with the NIHSS scale. Also, it would be nice if we could scroll back through the items continuously instead of swiping each time to go back to a section (e.g. from item 11 to item 5)

Would be better if the app shows any sugggestion including thrombolysis ex- and inclusion

Love this app.
