Using Large Language Models to Interpret ESC Clinical Guidelines

This is like giving doctors a very smart assistant that has read all the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines and can instantly explain what they mean for a specific patient, instead of the doctor manually searching long PDF documents.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Clinicians struggle to quickly find and interpret the right recommendation in dense ESC cardiology guidelines for a specific patient scenario. This work evaluates whether large language models (LLMs) can accurately interpret and apply these guidelines, potentially reducing time spent searching, lowering cognitive load, and standardizing adherence to evidence-based care.

Value Drivers

Reduced clinician time spent searching and cross-checking guidelinesMore consistent, standardized application of ESC guidelines across clinicians and sitesPotential reduction in errors from misinterpretation or missed guideline recommendationsFaster decision support for complex cardiology casesScalable educational tool for trainees learning guideline-based care

Strategic Moat

Tight integration with ESC guideline content and cardiology workflows, plus clinically validated evaluation methodology and benchmarks for LLM performance in guideline interpretation.
