%X Stroke is the third leading cause of death and primary cause of disabilities in Malaysia. Previous researches focused on creating stroke awareness. In this paper, Stroke999 mobile application is developed to perform a quick stroke screening for the public. The stroke screening scorecard was adopted from the national stroke association Malaysia (NASAM). Any user will be assessed according to its stroke risk factors such as blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, smoking, cholesterol level, diabetes, exercise, diet and family medical history. The mobile application then can automatically classify user's stroke risk factors under the categories of 'high', 'caution' or 'low' risks. The empirical results show that most respondents agree that it is user friendly, easy to use, good quality contents and it can be accessed at anytime and anywhere with any smartphones. Indeed, Stroke999 application is a useful tool to perform stroke self-screening for all users. © 2017 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.
