What this Trial Is About
This research evaluates the use of the echOpen probe in managing patients referred to the Jean Verdier Rapid Diagnosis Unit (UDR) to see how it affects the time to diagnosis. The study focuses on improving diagnosis speed and accuracy and reducing the need for extra examinations. It is divided into three phases, each involving the introduction of the echOpen probe in different care settings, including hospital units, multi-professional health centers, and a Health Bus. The study's intervention involves using the echOpen probe for a systematic 4-point echoscopy examination that covers organs like the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, thyroid, and depending on symptoms, lung, kidney, bladder, and abdomen. The probe is CE marked and will be used alongside standard care. Each phase begins with training doctors to use the probe, followed by patient inclusions and testing the probe's impact on care organization and diagnosis processes. Participants will undergo the echoscopy examination and complete satisfaction questionnaires alongside their physicians. Researchers will measure outcomes such as time to diagnosis, the number of patients with direct access to biopsy, and reduction in additional exams. Patient and physician satisfaction with the echOpen probe will also be assessed. The study includes follow-up visits up to two months after inclusion, with a total inclusion period lasting about 16 months.
