About

The purpose of this study is that a video tool coupled with standardized information can increase the patient's understanding of the information and thus optimize their medical care

Full description

Patients admitted to the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department (MIT) undergo a large number of complementary examinations. In view of their specificity, justified by the often lengthy diagnostic process, as well as by the complexity and diversity of the pathologies, the site of infection and the patient's background (adolescents and adults, migrant patients, immunocompromised patients, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, primary immunodeficiencies, organ transplants, patients with haemopathies, marrow transplants, among others). As a matter of practice, the doctor informs the patient of the prescribed examinations, explaining their purpose and procedure, and outlining any benefits and risks.

The intention is to introduce a tool that complements the information usually provided, and that can be of high quality to improve the patient's perception of understanding. To this end, investigators hypothesize that a tool in video format, built in collaboration with the experience of various technical platforms, could make the experience of understanding information more complete and more accessible to all patients.
