1. An apparatus comprising:
a first temperature sensor positioned to measure a first temperature of a left Abreu Brain
Thermal Tunnel (ABTT) terminus located between a left eyebrow and a left eye of a subject and to transmit a first signal representing the first temperature;
a second temperature sensor positioned to measure a second temperature of a right ABTT terminus located between a right eyebrow and a right eye of the subject and to transmit a second signal representing the second temperature;
a processor configured to receive the first signal and the second signal, to identify from the first signal and the second signal a temperature decrease of greater than or equal to 0.2 degrees Celsius at the right ABTT terminus as compared to the left ABTT terminus, and to transmit an alert signal when the temperature decrease of greater than or equal to 0.2 degrees Celsius at one of the left ABTT terminus and the right ABTT terminus as compared to an other of the left ABTT terminus and the right ABTT terminus is identified;
when the processor determines that the temperature decrease of greater than or equal to 0.2 degrees Celsius occurs during an elapsed time that is less than 12 hours, and a temperature reversal between the left ABTT terminus and the right ABTT terminus occurs, the processor transmits the alert signal to an alert device,
wherein the temperature reversal is when a previous temperature of the one of the left ABTT terminus or the right ABTT terminus is now a higher temperature than the other of the left ABTT terminus or the right ABTT terminus, and
the alert device configured to receive the alert signal and to provide an alert indicative of a left brain stroke.
