OUR E-HEALTH ACTIONS TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S CARE

DIAGNOSE AND SAVE MORE AND MORE CHILDREN

The development of E-Health actions helps to improve the quality of the child care. This willingness to go further and closer to children is part of the genesis of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque's mission: that of enabling all the world's children to benefit from technological advances and providing them with the quality of care we would wish for our own children. 

The Francine Leca Foundation under the aegis of the Caritas Foundation, has the mission to finance the E-Health projects of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque such as the training of doctors via the 5/5 application and the development of teleconsultation in order to improve the medical care of children. The Francine Leca Foundation is entitled to receive tax-deductible donationsfrom the IFI.

To allow in the near future surgeons to plan the surgical procedure before operating on the child thanks to 3D heart printing.

The "5/5 Training" application is a training in cardiopediatrics intended for all physicians in the world.

Advanced collaborative tele-ultrasound technology that allows physicians to exchange information remotely.

Professor Francine Leca

Founder of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque

I offer a 5/5 teaching of Pediatric Cardiology. Why this title? Because it's symbolic! In aeronautics, 5/5 means that the message is received loud and clear.

In addition, it will be an excellent mnemonic for doctors because all our training courses are also available in 5 modules.

Many thanks to the Boston Scientific EuropeFoundation which finances the mobile-learning training project

100% mobile training levels, simple, practical and useful

- Short and didactic videos with the training doctors,

- Immediate quizzes,

- Revision sheets,

- A toolbox to allow learners to easily find course documents,

- The association of digital diagrams with videos for better interactivity and understanding.

Funded from the outset by the Boston Scientific Foundation, the "5/5 Training" application of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque enables all corresponding physicians to receive training in cardiopediatrics, thus enabling better care of underprivileged children with heart disease around the world.

Launch date: November 2020

In the expert program, Pr Francine Leca proposes a series of 12 case studies (dossiers) in order to develop them and make a critical analysis of them both from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view.

"We know the end of the story, it's obviously much easier! But if there has been an insufficiency or a diagnostic or therapeutic error it will allow us to see where the cause lies.

The best treatment for a heart defect in a child requires a "no-fault" sequence for :

1. Diagnosis

2. The therapeutic decision

3. Surgical Tactics

4. Surgical technique

At all these levels there can be a loophole. It must be detected, analyzed and not reproduced. You can only make progress by recognizing your mistakes. We all make mistakes. ».

THE E-CONSULT'ACTION

TO DIAGNOSE CHILDREN'S HEART DISEASE IN REAL TIME IN THE MOST REMOTE AREAS AND IMPROVE THE CARE OF CHILDREN

1

Improving the quality of diagnosis for better care of children

In addition to financing up to 6 humanitarian missions per year, the Philips Foundation equips the Association's referring doctors in the countries with "Lumify": ultra-portable ultrasound scanners for immediate images of the hearts of children seen in consultation.

This device is very practical for field teams since the cardiac probe plugs into a smartphone or tablet. This allows to exchange live or by email the ultrasound files in order to solicit the French teams to refine the diagnoses.

Universalizing access to child care

Thanks to this advanced technology, cardiac ultrasound becomes possible in situations of extreme mobility faced by doctors in countries to diagnose children who cannot move around in large cities.

An ultra-portable, mobile and autonomous technology that makes it possible to go to areas where there is no electricity.

Connect our medical teams on site
with their colleagues in France in real time anywhere in the world!

Medical teams of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque use the "Reacts" platform: the first collaborative real-time tele-echo platform.

This system combined with the "Philips Lumify" allows to connect local doctors in real time with doctors in France by transforming an intelligent ultrasound device into an integrated tele-ultrasound solution.

Many thanks to the Foundation Philips, a historical patron of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
