IPPN vs PHVD

The International Program on Preterm Nutrition (IPPN) is an educational initiative brought to you by the EFCNI Academy under the umbrella of the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI) in collaboration with Nestlé Nutrition Institute and Wyeth Nutrition Science Center.This exclusive program is designed to function as the perfect platform for receiving up to date knowledge and sharing views on preterm nutrition through micro content structured digital modules. It engages participants with recommendations from highly renowned experts in the field of preterm nutrition and provides you with insights from a parent’s perspective explaining the great health benefit for preterm born children once parents are involved as key care givers at all times. The IPPN is suitable for all healthcare professionals engaged in managing preterm infants, including neonatologists, paediatricians, neonatal nurses, and dieticians.

PHVD is a reference and educational tool for neonatal clinicians working with post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation in preterm infants. Enter serial cranial ultrasound measurements — ventricular index, anterior horn width and thalamo-occipital distance — alongside post-menstrual age, and see them plotted against published reference curves. WHAT IT DOES • Records serial measurements across post-menstrual age • Plots them against published reference curves • Shows the trend across a series of scans • Keeps everything on your device WHAT IT DOES NOT DO PHVD does not diagnose, does not recommend treatment, and does not replace clinical assessment, imaging review, or your local protocol. It is a reference aid for qualified healthcare professionals. Every output must be independently verified against the source images and your unit's guideline. PRIVACY PHVD collects no personal data. Nothing you enter leaves your device. There is no account, no login, and no analytics. A full disclaimer is presented on first launch and must be accepted before the app can be used.
