The Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Complex, which has been dedicated to caring for the health of children and adolescents for 100 years through healthcare, teaching and research, is opening its Innovation Office. The centenary history of the institution is marked by innovative initiatives that made it possible to pioneer in several areas, such as complex procedures for pediatric patients, humanizing practices and new methods of diagnosis and treatment. \u201cWe are making a dream come true, which is to make our Innovation Office official, a dream that was shared and driven by scientist S\u00e9rgio Mascarenhas, our great inspiration for this important step,\u201d says the executive director of Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Hospital, Ety Cristina Forte Carneiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mascarenhas is a great enthusiastic of innovation in Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe. \u201cI consider Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Hospital a centenary example for Brazil as a hospital, educational institution and integrated and interdisciplinary teams. It is a great honor for me to collaborate with this great institution,\u201d he declares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of the Innovation Office, Guilherme de Rosso Man\u00e7os, explains that the Pel\u00e9 Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Research Institute and the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe College will benefit from it in an integrated manner with the Hospital, and the work will take place on four different fronts of work: culture of innovation; open innovation; intellectual property and technology transfer; and innovation events and networks. The design of these fronts was also supported by the Technological Business Group at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe creation of the Innovation Office will enhance our institutional capacity for innovation to protect our children and adolescents, as well as the life of the planet, and will allow us to remain aligned with the best innovation practices in relation to other pioneering institutions in Brazil and abroad,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TytoCare<\/strong>
TytoCare is an Israeli technology that is being brought to Brazil, in an unprecedented way, by the Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe Hospital. The negotiations started about two years ago and now the product is about to be introduced in the market. \u201cIt is a device that will certainly revolutionize telemedicine practices,\u201d says the corporate director of the Complex, Jos\u00e9 \u00c1lvaro da Silva Carneiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small device allows you to measure the temperature as well as the patient\u2019s heart rate, auscultate the heart, lungs and abdominal region, and generate images of the throat, ear and skin. All of this with the accuracy required by the strict medical standards. The portable device is accompanied by an app that guides how to do these exams at home and transmits the data in real time to a central that can be accessed remotely by doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The equipment is already in use in Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe for the purpose of clinical research and should soon be available on the market and in the homes of families. \u201cWith Tyto equipment, a healthcare professional can examine, diagnose and treat many of the most common conditions, such as ear infections, colds and flu, fever, headaches, eye irritation, congestion, sinusitis, allergies, sore throat, cough and breathing problems, insect bites and rashes, constipation and stomach pains. In addition, it can also be used by the doctor to monitor chronic conditions and health after surgery or a procedure. With this solution, we will allow parents to have excellent care directly from their homes, accompanied by a doctor who may be in another environment, such as in their offices,\u201d says Ety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

brain4care<\/strong>
Another innovation project that is underway is the implementation of the brain4care solution, created by scientist S\u00e9rgio Mascarenhas and which has become a startup with operations in Brazil and the United States with the potential to impact one billion people in the next ten years. It is a small sensor capable of monitoring intracranial pressure in a totally non-invasive way. \u201cIt is a fantastic innovation, as it allows us to assess and monitor patients with brain tumors, hydrocephalus and injuries that may eventually cause an increase in intracranial pressure without the need for a craniotomy, an invasive surgery that requires an opening in the head for placement of a catheter,\u201d details the neurosurgeon from Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe, Adriano Keijiro Maeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When developing a non-invasive method, this solution also makes possible to monitor one more vital sign, in addition to those known as the pulse, temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device is already being used at S\u00edrio-Liban\u00eas Hospital and at Rede D\u2019Or and Rede \u00cdmpar hospitals for adult patients. Internationally renowned institutions \u2013 such as the medical schools at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP) \u2013 have also validated the brain4care system. Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe will be responsible for contributing to the advancement of knowledge about the monitoring of intracranial pressure in pediatric patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to research, the equipment will also be used in clinical care. \u201cThe projects will initially be developed in patients linked to the Neurosurgery Service and other patients investigated by the Neurology Service with clinical manifestations of intracranial hypertension,\u201d informs the technical director of Pequeno Pr\u00edncipe, Donizetti Dimer Giamberardino Filho. In total, five pieces of the equipment will be in use at the Hospital starting in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
