A wonderful story written by a child hospitalised at the Centre Pédiatrique des Côtes CPDC using augmentative alternative communication (AAC) media with eye recognition. This 14-year-old child has been at the centre since birth and suffers from spinal muscular atrophy. She can't speak, feed herself or use her body. Thanks to this communication medium, she can communicate with her family and friends, send text messages and take part in music workshops. By 2025, the aim is to develop environmental home automation to turn lights and televisions on and off. It brings us great meaning to support a project that has truly transformed this child’s life.💜

The three-year pilot of the 'She Decides' programme from Terre des hommes foundation has made maternal and infant health in #Guinea a priority. Through the use of the electronic maternity consultation register, health workers have provided enhanced medical support to over 18,500 women, achieving remarkable outcomes across 15 communities and formed the basis behind a broader initiative to promote women’s sexual and reproductive rights and combating gender-based violence.    The third #BSFE grant in 2024 has allowed Terre des Hommes to strengthen achievements and pursue the activities in the Health Centers (Centres de Santé). An official evaluation organised by the Ministry of Health (Ministère de la Santé) and UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) was launched in November 2024 with the prospects of scaling up the 'electronic maternity consultation register' with the potential to transform care for even more women and families. We are excited about the possibilities ahead and would like to thank our wonderful friends at #Terredeshommes who are making it happen. 👉 Read more about the initiative here: https://lnkd.in/eXFQ7EbG #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment #WomensHealth #BostonScientificFoundationEurope #SocialChange #DigitalHealth

It can have profound health impacts on those affected - even small amounts of gluten can damage the body.   This initiative focuses on digitising and expanding the centralised, secure database of the Coeliac Society of Ireland, driving research, informing targeted health policies, and fostering collaboration across the health system, laying the foundation for improved care. The patient register also powers their tools for #GlutenFree living including their app and the Gluten Free Foods Database - the largest and only certified gluten-free food list in Ireland, ensuring safe options for people with coeliac disease across the country. 📬Watch here for updates on this new #DigitalHealth project! #CoeliacAwareness #Coeliac #HealthcareInnovation #HealthPolicy #BSFE #BostonScientificFoundationEurope #funding

At around 18 months of age, a child’s abilities regress and she finds it hard to speak, to walk, to move and hold things. 📖Learning to read when you don't have access to speech or the use of your hands is a challenge, but it is entirely possible.

The creation of a national telemedicine platform will provide tailored psycho-oncological support for people living with cancer and oncology caregivers. The platform aims to enhance mental well-being with a broad focus to help people live through the distress and uncertainty that comes with diagnosis, treatment, recovery and bereavement.     Approximately 20% of people with cancer are affected by depression, 10% by anxiety, and up to 52% develop psychological distress (AIOM, 2019). The new service will help to bridge the gap between care provision and specifically focus on accessibility.     #MentalHealth #CancerSupport #CancerAwareness #Telemedicine #PsychoOncology #LILT #BostonScientificFoundationEurope #BSFE #LiftYouUp #NonProfit #DigitalHealth
