AI could help family doctors catch hidden heart disease

NCT ID NCT06637293

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether an AI platform called DeepECG can help family doctors and nurse practitioners better detect structural heart disease from electrocardiograms. The trial will involve 2,000 patients and use a stepped-wedge design where clinics gradually switch on the AI. The main goal is to see if AI assistance improves the accuracy of referrals to cardiology.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
DeepECG platform (AI software for ECG analysis)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help family doctors more accurately identify patients who need heart specialist care, reducing missed diagnoses.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing AI in a controlled setting; real-world performance may vary, and the AI might not improve outcomes for all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 2,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Oct 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Family Physicians or Nurse Practitioners Family physicians or nurse practitioners (NPs) practicing in one of the participating FMGs. Family physicians who have given their free and informed consent. Patients Adult patients (18 years or older). Patients without follow-up in cardiology or internal medicine for cardiovascular issues (arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease) or those who had a negative investigation in the past with no additional follow-up. ECG Any 12-lead ECG performed with the MUSE GE 360 machine. ECG of adequate technical quality for interpretation (otherwise, it will be automatically rejected by the platform). \- Exclusion Criteria: * Family Physicians or Nurse Practitioners Family physicians practicing exclusively in pediatrics (patients under 18 years old). Family physicians unable to follow the project guidelines.
