From a first assessment at a local facility to specialist review and follow-up. One pathway connects the people and services involved in your care.
Follow the journeyCare takes place within existing health facilities. The steps below explain the pathway; the tests and timing depend on each patient’s needs.
The care team explains the assessment and records your permission before enrolling you.
Enrollment includes structured patient consent. Clinical information is shared only with the patient’s authorization, including when a family member sponsors care.
Who is involvedThe local care team enrolls the patient and records consent.
A trained frontline worker records symptoms, health history, vital signs and cardiac findings.
The assessment brings together history, risk factors and AI-assisted digital auscultation: listening to heart sounds with a digital stethoscope. Structured risk assessment helps guide which patients need testing or further medical review.
Who is involvedTrained frontline workers collect the information; clinical judgment remains with the care team.
Where indicated, an ECG or focused heart ultrasound adds information to the initial assessment.
An ECG records the heart’s electrical activity. Focused echocardiography uses ultrasound to look at the heart. Not every patient needs both tests. Studies are captured in a structured format and sent for cardiologist review.
Who is involvedThe local facility coordinates testing through the connected care pathway.
H-TRIAGE supports decisions about further assessment, diagnostic needs and escalation.
Triage begins with the initial assessment and continues as more information becomes available. H-TRIAGE provides clinical decision support; it does not independently diagnose, prescribe or issue a referral. Clinical urgency can change the sequence of care.
Who is involvedThe local physician makes the final clinical decisions.
A cardiologist reviews every ECG and echocardiogram before it informs a clinical decision.
Remote cardiologist review brings specialist expertise into the local pathway. The reviewed report returns to the treating team to support assessment and the next care decision.
Who is involvedThe cardiologist reviews the study; the local physician decides how to act on the findings.
The physician decides on treatment or onward referral, with navigation support for the next step.
Where onward care is needed, the pathway connects patients with referral facilities and specialist services. HeartLINK supports coordination and navigation. The treating clinician remains responsible for treatment decisions.
Who is involvedThe physician directs care, supported by the referral and navigation team.
The team tracks referrals and follow-up so the pathway continues beyond the first report.
Referral tracking helps identify whether patients reach the next stage of care. Service completion is recorded for follow-up and evaluation. Longer-term patient outcome measurement remains an area of ongoing work.
Who is involvedCare teams coordinate follow-up; structured records support service review.
HeartLINK supports the teams already caring for patients, with specialist expertise and a shared clinical workflow.
The local physician makes the final decision. A cardiologist reviews every ECG and echocardiogram before it informs care.
AI supports heart-sound assessment, triage and study interpretation. It does not independently diagnose, prescribe or refer.
Consent comes first. Access to records is controlled, and sharing clinical information requires the patient’s authorization.
HeartLINK is a continuing, facility-based service for patients presenting for care. Local staff work within a structured pathway, supported by training, remote cardiology and referral tracking.
Triage logic is versioned, access-controlled and logged. Individual scores, thresholds, decision rules and unpublished protocols are not published on this website. Contact the team to discuss clinical governance and implementation.
