Abstract
Background Within stroke trials, there is a need to provide fair, unbiased scoring of participant assessments, based on their recovery over specified time points. In order to provide this, a key stumbling block can be assembling a reliable team of adjudicators, and coordinating that adjudication. If relying on a more distributed group, the issues then include providing access to paper notes, and tracking their comments out with a centralised meeting.

By allowing adjudicators to view the assessments, rather than rely on written notes, we remove a layer of obfuscation from the adjudication, with adjudicators being able to directly judge participant reactions for themselves
