Drievoudige detectie van hart- en vaatziekten met een stethoscoop met kunstmatige intelligentie (TRICORDER)
Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood adequately. It is increasingly common, consumes 4% of the UK National Health Service (NHS) budget and is deadlier than most cancers. Early diagnosis and treatment of HF improves quality of life and survival. Unacceptably, 80% of patients have their HF diagnosed only when very unwell, requiring an emergency hospital admission, with worse survival and higher treatment costs to the NHS. This is largely because General Practitioners (GPs) have no easy-to-use tools to check for suspected HF, with patients having to rely on a long and rarely completed diagnostic pathway involving blood tests and hospital assessment.
The investigators have previously demonstrated that an artificial intelligence-enabled stethoscope (AI-stethoscope) can detect HF in 15 seconds with 92% accuracy (regardless of age, gender or ethnicity) - even before patients develop symptoms. While the GP uses the stethoscope, it records the heart sounds and electrical activity, and uses inbuilt artificial intelligence to detect HF.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of providing primary care teams with the AI-stethoscope for the detection of heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are if provision of the AI-stethoscope:
- Increases overall detection of heart failure
- Reduces the proportion of patients being diagnosed with heart failure following an emergency hospital admission
- Reduces healthcare system costs
200 primary care practices across North West London and North Wales, UK, will be recruited to a cluster randomised controlled trial, meaning half of the primary care practices will be randomly assigned to have AI-stethoscopes for use in direct clinical care, and half will not. Researchers will compare clinical and cost outcomes between the groups.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Triple Cardiovascular Disease Detection with Artificial Intelligence-enabled Stethoscope (TRICORDER) is an open label, cluster randomised controlled trial. The aim is to determine whether use of an artificial intelligence-enabled stethoscope (AI-stethoscope) in UK Primary Care improves community-based detection of heart failure (HF), compared with usual care. 200 primary care practices in North West London (UK) will be randomised to receive the AI-stethoscope (intervention arm) or continue with usual care (control arm). The intervention arm will use the AI-stethoscope in routine clinical practice. Outcomes will be measured using pooled primary and secondary care clinical and cost-data, as well as clinician questionnaires.
