Comparing robotic remote heart ultrasound to standard care for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a robot that performs heart ultrasounds from a distance works as well as a standard in-person ultrasound for managing heart failure. It could help people on the island of Marie-Galante get specialist care without traveling.

This trial tests a new way of caring for heart failure that combines in-person clinic visits with at-home monitoring using digital tools. If you join, you may be able to have more of your check-ups from home, which could be more convenient and help your care team catch problems early.
This trial tests whether remote monitoring of your implanted heart device can help your doctors better manage your heart failure. It is for people with certain types of pacemakers or defibrillators who are willing to share their device data remotely.
This trial tests whether remote monitoring of heart function can help manage heart failure. It may be an option if you have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue (NYHA class II or higher) and are between 18 and 90 years old.
This trial will test a remote education program for people with heart failure. You'll get video calls and learning materials to help manage your condition from home.
This study tests a new way to help diagnose heart failure in rural areas using remote blood tests (telebiology) and video appointments (telemedicine). It combines these tools to make it easier for older adults in rural areas to get diagnosed and treated sooner.
This study tests a new way to do heart ultrasounds from a distance, by having a robot copy a specialist's hand movements. If you already need a heart ultrasound, you may be able to get an extra one done remotely, which could help people in remote areas access care.
