Effectiveness of an AI-Enabled Stratified Management System for Premature Coronary Artery Disease

China4,900 participantsStarted 2025-08-08

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an AI-enabled stratified management system (SMART-CHD) can improve post-discharge outcomes in adults aged 18-45 with premature coronary artery disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does SMART-CHD reduce the combined rate of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke and rehospitalization within 12 months? 2. Does SMART-CHD achieve better control of modifiable risk factors compared with usual care? Researchers will compare SMART-CHD to standard discharge management (verbal and printed instructions on medications, follow-up timelines and lifestyle advice) to see if the AI-driven platform leads to fewer adverse events and improved risk-factor profiles. Participants will: 1. Install and use the SMART-CHD mobile app after a 10-minute structured orientation session with supervised simulations. 2. Complete regular in-app surveys on lifestyle behaviors, laboratory/imaging results and clinical events (with OCR-powered LLM assistance). 3. Wear paired sensors for continuous monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate and other physiologic metrics. 4. Receive automated EHR data harvesting, AI-driven voice-call reminders, and real-time CRC support via a dedicated WeChat group. 5. Follow personalized, guideline-based risk-factor recommendations (diet, exercise, sleep, weight, smoking, alcohol, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
