Job summary
Hi Lab operates a clinical-pathway-first philosophy, taking an approach to implementing MedTech and digital health technologies (DHTs) only where a potential pentad of impact - clinical, health economic, patient-centric, workforce, and sustainability - is sufficiently compelling and understood.
Main duties of the job
This Health Impact Fellowship (clinical research fellow) post is hosted by the newly formed Health Impact Lab (Hi Lab), founded in response to the urgent need for health and life sciences ecosystems to progress beyond efficacy and effectiveness research into implementation science. Hi Lab builds on a five-year team track record for bringing technology-powered clinical pathways into direct clinical care - fully realising the potential of "innovation" by implementing, studying, and optimising of the contextual factors that underpin maximal impact.
About us
What we do
Our research focuses on understanding how changes to the function of the constituent cells of the heart lead to the clinical manifestations of disease. We use this knowledge to guide improvements in diagnostic procedures, provide better clinical management and generate novel treatments.
Why it is important
Heart and circulatory disease kills more than one in four people in the UK (causing 26 per cent of all deaths). This translates to nearly 160,000 deaths each year, an average of 435 people each day or one death every three minutes. By understanding disease processes and discovering new therapies we are endeavouring to revolutionise the treatment of heart diseases.

Job summary
This post brings an exciting opportunity to lead, with support, the day-to-day execution of a vanguard Hi Lab programme: TRICORDER-PLUS. This is the UK's first study applying a point-of-care artificial intelligence technology for triple cardiovascular disease to high-risk primary care cohorts across several UK geographies. TRICORDER-PLUS is designed as a precursor study to underpin a national screening programme. This work is principally funded by the British Heart Foundation and delivered by Hi Lab in close and unprecedented collaboration with NHS Integrated Care Systems, the National Screening Committee, industry collaborators, and the Pumping Marvellous patient charity.
Duties and responsibilities

Duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Study governance; setting up research protocol, securing Health Research Authority approval (ethics approval); data protection office approvals Site initiation visits (travel); training primary care teams in the use of digital stethoscope technology and use of AI-guided clinical pathway execution. Hi Lab operates out of Imperial's White City Innovation District, where the appointed fellow will be based, but TRICORDER-PLUS encompasses NHS Integrated Care Systems in the North Thames geography and South West England. There will be scope for incorporating the implementation of technology-emabled pathway(s) in the Fellow's preferred sub-speciality to underpin registering with Imperial for a MD(Res)/PhD degree, or post-doctoral research.
Clinical Responsibilities
The post holder will hold an honorary clinical contract with the appropriate NHS Trust(s) and will flexibly be expected to take clinical responsibilities appropriate to their level of experience and expertise.
