CANDO Kids vs AdaptCare

Research shows that patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who have undergone cardiac surgery are at a higher risk for developmental delay, learning differences and behavioral issues. The goal of this app is to provide awareness of important developmental milestones for families served by CANDO, our neurodevelopmental follow-up program for children with CHD. We hope this educational tool will help CANDO families connect with us, and seek prompt early intervention should a concern arise.

AdaptCare, an application built to save lives, provides essential point of care information at the fingertips of first responders. The application tightly integrates with hospital EMRs to provide important lifesaving information “just in time” to EMTs, firefighters, and other personnel who are not credentialed at the hospital. This is done by scanning the QR code that exists with the patient, either on their wristband or stickers provided by the hospital. In addition to the PAMI information, the first responders can also find out if the patient is deaf, blind, reactive to light, noise or touch, or has any other special needs so they can be sensitive to the situation without having a family member or guardian necessarily around. AdaptCare exists to save lives!
