About this study

Assess Microsoft HoloLens as an interactive communication device in remote proctoring, and enhancement of teamwork in complex CTO procedures

Read the detailed description

Proctoring in medicine is related to better outcomes. Specifically, in CTO PCI systematic proctoring has demonstrated improved success rates, and an increased ability to treat lesions that are more complex. Most likely, proctoring together with operator volume is one of the foundations to the introduction and execution of CTO procedures. Proctoring traditionally involves an expert operator (proctor), visiting the institution, performing the procedure together with the local operator. This involves increased cost, and current travel restrictions makes traditional one-on-one proctoring challenging.

This study aims to evaluate the Microsoft HoloLens as a potential platform in proctoring and effective real time communication between PCI operators located at different geographical locations. The proctor and the local operator interact using a head mounted mixed reality (MR) display, enabling the proctor to see the same image as the operator, from any distanced location.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Standard Usability Score on a Likert Scale

    The operators completing the intervention will rate the usability of the system on a Likert scale:

    1. The HoloLens was useful in this procedure
    2. The HoloLens was not distracting
    3. The HoloLens was comfortable to wear
    4. The HoloLens camera image has sufficient quality for clinical use (not considering the fluoroscopy screen)
    5. Compared to an alternative system with fluoroscopy image plus handsfree voice (telephone), the HoloLens gives additional value during the procedure
    6. The current solution with Remote Assist plus parallel fluoroscopy streaming is mature enough for routine use
    7. The current solution is stable
    8. The current solution is easy to set up prior to the procedure
    9. I would like to continue to use the HoloLens in CTO procedures routinely when remote proctoring is needed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Artery, run by Sorlandet Hospital HF at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Standard Usability Score on a Likert Scale (time frame: Procedure duration( aprox 120 min)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2023.
