Description

The Child Heart mobile application is ahelpingtool for the doctors which include paediatricians andneonatologiststo communicate with an expert from Aster DMHealthcare, about thepossibility of Congenital heart disease (CHD)and also to estimatethe seriousness of the illness and plan itssubsequent management.The Child Heart mobile application can beused to add the physicalfindings that are relevant to the casealong with images and videosthat support the query.

Early detection of this anomaly is important to prevent deathandmorbidity. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of thecommonesthuman malformations, affecting 6 per 1000 live births.They accountfor 10% of infant deaths and about 50% of deathsfrommalformations. It is a clinical paradox that the mostbenignlesions such as small VSDs or mild pulmonary stenosis, aremorelikely to be detected on routine newborn examination. Of themajorstructural lesions, the cyanotic conditions will usuallypresentwith symptoms or signs and so also will be detected early.Thereremains, however, an important group with major structurallesions,particularly those with ductal-dependent systemiccirculations, whoare well in the period shortly after birth andthen collapse in acritical state once the ductus closes. In an eraof early obstetricdischarge, this collapse is increasingly likelyto happen at homewhere successful resuscitation is more difficult.This clinicalproblem is one of the major unresolved challenges ofnewbornscreening. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is more commonthan mostpeople realise. Nearly 1 percent of babies born in thecountry eachyear have CHD, making it one of the most frequentlydiagnosed birthdefects. As advances in surgery and medicalmanagement have greatlyimproved, those born with cardiac anomaliesare now living far intoadulthood.

Why does early detection matter?

• improves family experience throughout pathway;
• improves immediate postnatal management optimised by birthplaceator close to a paediatric cardiac surgery centre.
• potentially reduces complications, morbidity andmortalityassociated with cardiovascular compromise subsequent todelayeddiagnosis
• reduces the number of emergency transfers of undiagnosed babiesatbirth.

The paediatrician collects the following data

• O2 saturation level
• Heart Rate
• Capillary fill time
• Chest X-ray
• 12 Lead ECG
• Echocardiogram

This information is populated and shared with the expertthroughthis app. He receives a notification and provides hisexpertopinion in return via the app.

This allows, the paediatrician to come to a conclusion regardingthepresence or absence of structural heart disease and the needforfurther evaluation. In case there is strong suspicion, thepatientwould be referred to a higher centre for diagnosisandmanagement.
