Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and the APPROACH Registry to Transform Coronary Artery Disease Patient Care
FY 2021-22
Summary
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death across the world. Although several effective treatments and clinical practice guidelines are available for CAD, it is challenging to choose the best treatment for each unique CAD patient. A research initiative called APPROACH has been collecting rich medical data from patients with CAD in Alberta since 1995. It contains a wealth of information that artificial intelligence (AI) can turn into useful decision support information. This project aims to develop an AI system that can provide useful CAD treatment recommendations at point of care. This project will also create guidelines that heart doctors can follow to effectively use the AI system in their patient care. This project will be carried out by a team of AI experts, heart doctors, patients, a caregiver, health researchers, administrators, and an industry partner. The involvement of various experts and stakeholders throughout the project will ensure that the AI system has the best chance of being actually used in CAD patient care. The successful completion of this project will set the stage for real-world implementation of the AI system at multiple hospitals and a clinical trial.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death across the world. Although several effective treatments and clinical practice guidelines are available for CAD, it is challenging to choose the best treatment for each unique CAD patient. A research initiative called APPROACH has been collecting rich medical data from patients with CAD in Alberta since 1995. It contains a wealth of information that artificial intelligence (AI) can turn into useful decision support information. This project aims to develop an AI system that can provide useful CAD treatment recommendations at point of care. This project will also create guidelines that heart doctors can follow to effectively use the AI system in their patient care.
