Post-discharge follow-up designed around the telephone.

RONKE AI is a research-stage heart-failure monitoring platform being developed for patients who may be underserved by app-led pathways. The system uses scheduled outbound calls, structured questions and deterministic risk logic to create reports for nurse review.

Patient interaction

No app required.

The intended patient journey uses ordinary landline or mobile telephone calls rather than requiring smartphone setup or a home-monitoring kit.

Clinical workflow

Decision support, not autonomous care.

Reports are designed for clinical review and escalation workflows. The system is not positioned as making autonomous clinical decisions.

Risk architecture

Seven monitored domains with explicit safety rules.

The current scoring design covers breathing, swelling, weight, functional state, chest symptoms, medication adherence and overall wellbeing. Emergency conditions can override the additive score, while qualitative safety floors prevent serious red flags being diluted by otherwise reassuring answers.

Deterministic scoring

The risk engine is designed so the underlying classification rules can be inspected and tested rather than delegated entirely to a generative model.

Emergency override

Defined emergency responses can bypass normal scoring and trigger the highest urgency state.

Completeness safety

Missing or unrecordable information is handled explicitly so incomplete conversations are not silently treated as reassuring.

Development stage

Evidence before scale.

The project is progressing through clinical co-design, safety, regulatory and pilot-readiness work. The website deliberately does not claim reduced readmissions, NHS deployment or patient-outcome benefit before those claims are supported by formal evidence.

Current focus

  • Clinical safety case and escalation workflow
  • Information governance and data protection
  • Human-factors and shadow-mode evaluation
  • Pilot governance and evidence design

Design principle

Telephone access is intended to reduce the dependence on apps and home technology for older or digitally excluded patients, while keeping nurses responsible for clinical review.
