eBroncho – Le thésaurus bronchoscopique de la SPLF eBroncho est l'application officielle de la Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française (SPLF), conçue en partenariat avec le Groupe d'Endoscopie de Langue Française (GELF). Elle propose une terminologie restreinte, consensuelle et de référence pour décrire, coder et illustrer l'ensemble des aspects observés en endoscopie bronchique. Le terme juste en bronchoscopie est le pari de cet atlas : illustrer les mots par l'image pour offrir un langage commun aux praticiens expérimentés comme aux endoscopistes en formation, et standardiser la transmission, le codage et l'archivage de l'information. UN CONTENU RIGOUREUX ET ENRICHI 258 descripteurs organisés en 5 sections : Techniques en bronchoscopie, Anatomie de l'arbre trachéobronchique, Aspects observés, Prélèvements et interventions, Diagnostics fréquemment évoqués. Codage international : chaque descripteur et précision s'associent à leurs codes SNOMED 3.5 et SNOMED CT pour faciliter l'informatisation des comptes-rendus et les échanges internationaux. Photothèque HD : 218 photographies d'endoscopie en haute définition. Vidéothèque SPLF : 64 vidéos pédagogiques classées par section et sous-section. Atlas et index : atlas anatomique et index complet des codes SNOMED. FONCTIONNALITÉS ET ERGONOMIE Recherche instantanée : moteur performant par terme, code SNOMED ou synonyme (insensible aux accents). Filtres avancés : photothèque et vidéothèque filtrables par section. Synchronisation : favoris synchronisés entre l'application et le site ebroncho.fr. Navigation fluide : parcours « précédent / suivant » entre les descripteurs, respectant l'ordre de l'ouvrage de référence. ACCÈS ET CONFIDENTIALITÉ Application réservée aux professionnels de santé.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eBroncho SPLF at none against MedCalX's 3. eBroncho SPLF also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). MedCalX's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
