ClinConnect Summary

The ECHO93 study is looking at how a special device called the echOpen probe can help doctors diagnose patients more quickly. This study will be conducted in different locations, starting with the Rapid Diagnosis Unit at Jean Verdier Hospital, and then expanding to other medical practices and a mobile health bus. The goal is to see if using this device makes a difference in the time it takes for patients to get their diagnoses.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult over 18 years old and able to give your consent. You should also be referred to one of the participating locations for a quick diagnosis. However, there are a few reasons why someone might not be able to join, like having certain health conditions or not being able to communicate in French without help. If you decide to take part, you can expect to be involved in a process aimed at improving how quickly and effectively patients receive their diagnosis.
