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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested whether nurses with no prior ultrasound experience could use HeartFocus, an AI-guided software, to capture quality heart images. 240 patients each had scans by a novice nurse using the AI and by an expert sonographer. Blinded cardiologists then rated the image quality. The goal was to see if AI assistance could make basic heart imaging accessible to non-experts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
HeartFocus AI-guided software (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that AI guidance allows non-specialists to perform basic heart scans, potentially expanding access to cardiac screening.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on image quality, not patient outcomes. Results may not apply to other settings or more complex heart conditions.

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

240 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Nov 2023

Finished

Aug 2024

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

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.
