00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
I'm Laurent Auriau, a radiographer at CHRU de Tours,

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.960
and project lead in the research department.

00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:15.360
My service is interventional neuroradiology.

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:18.240
We use catheters, thin tubes,

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.000
to treat arteries or veins in the brain.

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.800
A patient who comes in because of an artery problem in the brain

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.120
has to be treated very fast.

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.520
There's no room for error.

00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:33.040
In fact, you have to be operational,

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.520
immediately, at 100%.

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.280
This really is about taking care of people,

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.040
about saving lives.

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.040
We realised there were a whole lot of things

00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:43.960
we could do better.

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.800
Radiology technicians, in their role as surgical assistants,

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.360
still stick on paper traceability labels.

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:51.360
Among the 250 references we have,

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.200
we can't keep leafing through boxes,

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.560
memorising measurements or comparisons.

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.000
What we want is to be able to automate all of this.

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:06.000
This project is about bringing together, in a single piece of software,

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.760
solutions for the whole pathway.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.720
A tool for managing material, keeping track of it,

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:14.880
but above all using it in real time.

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.560
You tell it what you want to do,

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.840
it tells you what can be used to get there.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.720
It's of course a bank of data and materials,

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:25.520
a library bringing together all the specifications

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.520
available to the department.

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:30.840
And finally, it's about managing all this data

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.160
for the patient's benefit,

00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:35.240
feeding your pharmacy's data banks accurately,

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:36.400
knowing your stock levels,

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.840
streamlining the whole flow

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.240
of material.

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:44.880
Everything the software can do

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.120
is time saved.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.920
It's safety for the patient.

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:53.400
CHRU de Tours believes a lot in the project.

00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:56.200
It's now been three years that the hospital has been backing me.

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.400
A year and a half ago,

00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.000
C-VaLo, the region's technology transfer organisation,

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.200
intervened in a very proactive way

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.680
to feed and grow the project.

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.360
This project will be able to become a start-up.

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.320
The partnership between CHRU de Tours,

00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:13.360
me as project lead, and C-VaLo is very clear.

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.760
The goal is indeed to transfer technology,

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:19.960
from public research, to a private structure.

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.960
Over the next two years, the plan is

00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.960
to arrive at a piece of software

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.960
that we can offer

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.960
to different interventional neuroradiology departments,

00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.960
which means being able to sell it to other teaching hospitals.

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:33.960
Absolutely.
