Leveraging Big Data & AI
to Improve Fontan Care

Our Centers

The FORCE registry is a collaborative research community, leveraging the power of data and artificial intelligence to improve outcomes for Fontan patients.

FORCE brings together an extensive dataset of nearly 4,000 unique patients, clinical and outcome data, and over 6,000 cardiac MRIs from 38 participating institutions worldwide.

The research platform harnesses cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to efficiently manage and analyze vast and complex data. This collaborative network facilitates high-impact Fontan research that drives improvements in patient care and outcomes.

FORCE is the world’s largest dataset in patients after the Fontan operation.

Artificial Intelligence

The FORCE registry brings new opportunities for research and discovery in Fontan care. Through artificial intelligence, we can process and analyze extensive datasets with remarkable speed and accuracy, transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive personalized care.

Our goals are to accelerate science, discovery, and innovation to directly improve patient care and change the lives of patients after the Fontan operation.

Why Cardiac MRIs?

  • Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a core element of the FORCE registry because it offers unparalleled insights into Fontan physiology and function.

  • CMR can act as an early warning indicator to help clinicians act before waiting for clinical deterioration.

  • Data from CMR images have been shown to improve risk prediction for adverse outcomes after the Fontan operation.

  • When paired with rich clinical data, the FORCE CMR images are incredibly valuable in enhancing researchers’ understanding of Fontan physiology, paving the way to develop predictive models that inform personalized care strategies.

Analytics Dashboard

The FORCE analytics platform integrates clinical, imaging, and outcome data across participating centers, enabling comprehensive analysis to conduct hypothesis testing, uncover patterns, and develop predictive models. Researchers can explore statistical summaries, visualize distributions, and organize data to examine relationships between variables.
