Interesting idea but unfortunately this isn’t feasible, unless you also have access to a full suite of diagnostic equipment at home. Even if someone at home could self-diagnose a stroke with any accuracy, around 10% of strokes are actually caused by haemorrhage (bleeding) rather than a clot. A CT scan is almost always carried out to rule this out, before administering thrombolytic drugs or aspirin, as these drugs can significantly worsen existing bleeding.
