Heart failure alert system tested on just 3 pharmacists

NCT ID NCT06103565

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tested a computer tool that alerts pharmacists when heart failure patients are not taking their medications as directed. Only 3 pharmacists took part, and the goal was to see if the tool was practical and acceptable. Because it was so small, the results are not enough to say whether the tool actually improves patient health.

Active substance

Clinical decision support tool

What this could lead to

If successful, this tool could help pharmacists better support heart failure patients in taking their medications as prescribed.

What could go wrong

This was a tiny pilot with only 3 pharmacists, so it cannot show whether the tool actually improves patient health. Larger studies are needed.
