AI heart scanner put to the test on 200,000 patients
NCT ID NCT07333547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This registry study will enroll 200,000 high-risk cardiac patients to see how well an AI platform called Willem can detect heart problems from standard ECGs. The AI's readings will be compared to expert cardiologist diagnoses, but the AI results won't be shared with doctors, so patient care stays the same. The goal is to gather evidence on whether AI can reliably interpret ECGs in real-world hospital settings.
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 show that AI can reliably read ECGs, potentially helping doctors spot heart issues faster and more accurately in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI results are not used in patient care, so any benefit is still theoretical. The large size may reveal limitations in real-world accuracy.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Subjects with high-risk and/or high-cost cardiac disease undergoing standard of care ECG assessment during the screening or diagnostic process, complementary tests, interventions, and/or clinical follow-up visits in any setup of care. Additionally, for the assessment of cardiac disease detection, subjects with no cardiac risk may be recruited as well for comparison between confirmed diagnosed patients and confirmed negative diagnosed subjects.

Inclusion Criteria: * EC/IRB approval of ICF waiver prior to recruitment; otherwise, signed informed consent form by subject and investigator * Age \> 18 years-old, with no upper limit * Subjects undergoing standard of care electrocardiogram (ECG) of any duration from any hardware device * All available, but at least one, legible ECG tracings in raw data format (e.g. DICOM, XML, EDF, JSON, HL7, SCP, WFDB, CSV, etc.) * Available subject clinical data associated with the ECG * For 12-lead ECGs, a minimum length of 10 seconds at a minimum sample frequency of 250 Hz * For ECGs from Holters, wearables, patches, insertable cardiac monitors, telemetries, etc., a minimum length of 30 seconds at a minimum sample frequency of 200 Hz with a lead I / II or its MCL-DII lead approximation * For prospective eligibility only: * Signed informed consent form, unless previously waived by the EC/IRB * Site technical viability for ECG and subject clinical data transfer (e.g. end-to-end integration following interoperability standards such as FHIR, HL7 or DICOM) Exclusion Criteria: * Unavailable or suboptimal quality of the raw data from the ECG signal * Age \< 18 years-old
