Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to analyze and investigate whether the use of the PMcardio clinical assistant leads to a more efficient patient management in primary care and more accessible specialised care compared to usual standards of care and to assess the reliability and safety of the PMcardio smartphone application in the primary care use environment. Additionally, to evaluate time savings and cost saving implications of increased availability of specialised care at the primary care level.


Description:

It is a multi-centric, physician-driven, patient-blinded randomized controlled trial of patients presenting to the general practitioner with typical cardiovascular symptoms (specifically, chest pain, syncope, palpitations, or shortness of breath) constituting an electrocardiogram examination. Eligible patients will be enrolled at the participating general practitioner clinics and managed either through the PMcardio platform with AI-assisted diagnostics, patient management recommendations or usual standard of care throughout their initial visit. Enrolled participants will be followed-up through health insurance billing codes and there will be no personal follow-up visits required. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the use of the PMcardio clinical assistant leads to a more efficient patient management in primary care and more accessible specialised care compared to usual standards of care and to assess the reliability and safety of the PMcardio smartphone application in the primary care use environment. Additionally, to assess time savings and cost saving implications of increased availability of specialised care at the primary care level.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to first cardiovascular-related consultation Time from randomization to the first cardiovascular-related consultation or a follow-up visit at specialized physician in patients, where specialized consultation is indicated based on the general practitioner recommendation after using PMcardio application. The measurement will be assessed from the data received from the health insurance provider. From randomization to enrollment period completion (up to 6 months)
Primary Time to first cardiovascular-related diagnostic testing Time from randomization to the first cardiovascular-related further diagnostic testing (laboratory parameters, ECG Holter, echocardiography).The measurement will be assessed from the data received from the health insurance provider From randomization to to enrollment period completion (up to 6 months)
Primary Time to first cardiovascular-related hospitalization Time from randomization to the first hospitalization in patients, where hospitalization is indicated, based on the general practitioner recommendation while using PMcardio application. The measurement will be assessed from the data received from the health insurance provider From randomization to to enrollment period completion (up to 6 months)
Primary Time to first cardiovascular-related drug prescription Time from randomization to the first cardiovascular-related drug prescription in patients, where drug prescription is indicated, based on the general practitioner recommendation while using PMcardio application. The measurement will be assessed from the data received from the health insurance provider From randomization to to enrollment period completion (up to 6 months)
Secondary Cost-effectiveness ratio and effect on cost savings Cost-effectiveness ratio and projected effect on cost savings resulting from PMcardio remote specialist consultations measured based on Health Insurance data 1 year
Secondary Reliability and safety of the PMcardio measured by system up-time The duration of time that the operating system of the application has been working and available in a reliable operating manner. From the very first participants randomization to total follow-up time (up to 6 months)
Secondary Reliability and safety of the PMcardio measured by system failures The Number of failures by PMcardio application that caused the system to end abnormally. From the very first participants randomization to total follow-up time (up to 6 months)
Secondary General practitioner satisfaction assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8 scale). The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8 scale) measures general satisfaction of participating general practitioners with the functionality of the application at the end of the enrollment period. Possible scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction with the application. From randomization to study completion (up to 1 year)
