Hospital data could unmask millions with undiagnosed diabetes and heart disease
NCT ID NCT06881797
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Over two million people in the UK have a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease without knowing it. This study will use information from 4.5 million hospital patients to build a digital platform that spots those at risk. The goal is to help doctors diagnose these conditions earlier and start treatment sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create a tool that helps doctors catch hidden chronic diseases early, potentially preventing heart attacks and strokes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing data, not a treatment trial. The digital platform may not work as well in real hospitals or may miss some patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
