心血管疾病在英国人口中非常普遍，由于可及性和资源问题，护理质量正在下降。数字技术在心血管护理途径中的应用越来越多，这对减轻国民健康服务（NHS）的负担具有巨大的潜力，然而，如果不嵌入服务用户和临床医生的观点，就不可能采用这种转变。方法和分析将进行一系列定性研究，目的是发展一个利益相关者-领导的观点，实施数字技术，以改善心脏病的整体诊断。这将是一项分散的研究，所有数据收集都是在全国范围内在线进行的。四个焦点小组，每个小组有5-6名参与者，将与有心脏病生活经验的人进行，并将与有心脏病诊断经验的临床医生进行10次一对一的访谈。伦理学和传播本研究获得了苏塞克斯大学科学和技术交叉研究理事会的伦理批准（参考ER/FM 409/1）。参与者将被要求通过Qualtrics调查提供知情同意书，然后才能接受在线访谈或焦点小组。研究结果将通过会议介绍、同行评审出版物和研究参与者传播。
IntroductionCardiovascular diseases are highly prevalent among the UK population, and the quality of care is being reduced due to accessibility and resource issues. Increased implementation of digital technologies into the cardiovascular care pathway has enormous potential to lighten the load on the National Health Service (NHS), however, it is not possible to adopt this shift without embedding the perspectives of service users and clinicians.Methods and analysisA series of qualitative studies will be carried out with the aim of developing a stakeholder-led perspective on the implementation of digital technologies to improve holistic diagnosis of heart disease. This will be a decentralised study with all data collection being carried out online with a nationwide cohort. Four focus groups, each with 5–6 participants, will be carried out with people with lived experience of heart disease, and 10 one-to-one interviews will be carried out with clinicians with experience of diagnosing heart diseases. The data will be analysed using an inductive thematic analysis approach.Ethics and disseminationThis study received ethical approval from the Sciences and Technology Cross Research Council at the University of Sussex (reference ER/FM409/1). Participants will be required to provide informed consent via a Qualtrics survey before being accepted into the online interview or focus group. The findings will be disseminated through conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications and to the study participants.
