News about your impact
Mai 17, 2023
So many of you responded to my call last fall! Because of you, we’re continuing to develop our app to make resuscitation easier. I am so very grateful to you. You are the very heart driving the transformation of healthcare!
I’m even more grateful now that EZResus, the new version of EZDrips, is a finalist in the Canadian Space Agency’s Deep Space Healthcare Challenge. This is incredible news that I couldn’t wait to share with you!
I’m very happy to share this remarkable recognition with you! It’s because of you that we were able to continue developing the app. And you’ve been a partner since the very start. Thank you for having believed in my project that has been helping patients and healthcare workers at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne’s ER since day 1.
My appreciation is a testament to the crucial role you play when it’s time to invest in innovative pilot projects. Indeed, you’re a very precious ally in driving the development of our hospitals. And to improving the population’s access to health care.
Above all, this is an extraordinary opportunity for us to pursue our work in order to offer the best app possible and distribute it to as many communities as possible.
No one imagined that one day, the impact of EZDrips would extend so far beyond the walls of Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne!
What is the Deep Space Healthcare Challenge?
It’s a competition that seeks to reward Canadian innovators who develop new detection and diagnostic technologies that could be used in Canada’s remote communities and for astronauts on deep-space missions.
When you work in resuscitation as I do, there’s only one thing that matters: finding a quick way to stabilize the patient. You need to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies.
But it’s impossible to be an expert in every field and the first hour of resuscitation is often chaotic. And, all too often, the life of a patient at death’s door still depends on calculations with a tiny piece of paper and a calculator. It makes no sense!
We created an app called EZDrips which makes it easier to administer medication to all patients. But this app is not enough—our needs are still enormous.
I’m writing to you today to ask for a special donation to improve our app to save more lives. The new app will make resuscitation even easier!
Benjamin. I’ll remember this little boy for as long as I live. He’s the first newborn I ever resuscitated as an emergency doctor at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne.
We saved him but we were out of our comfort zone. So many questions and complicated calculations. The chance of making an error in dosage was huge. And there was so little time to think!
Your donation will bring live-saving support to your hospital’s resuscitation services.
Thanks to you, our app won’t just help with medication, but with all the procedures we have to follow in critical care—all at our fingertips!
I’ve surrounded myself with specialists in resuscitation, pharmacology and poisoning. All volunteers! They too have many, many stories. Like the 30-year-old woman who was 35 weeks pregnant. She had been hit by a car. The team had to perform a perimortem caesarian. A nightmare for any emergency doctor.
$250,000 is what we need now to save more lives, by funding this vital tool for emergency workers! Please make a donation today. And put a little heart into the hearts of our patients!
