Automated CPET Interpretation: International Validation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study validates a rule-based algorithm that automates CPET interpretation. It measures how agreement between key opinion leaders and the algorithm changes over six months, and also compares baseline agreement and end-of-study agreement. The study collects feedback from centers and monitors changes in clinicians’ confidence with the automated reports during routine care. Participants are patients referred for CPET as part of standard clinical practice, with no experimental interventions to their care. Data are gathered from multiple centers to assess performance across settings.
