Animation-Supported Communication in Intensive Care

冠状病毒大流行在最需要的时候给医疗交流造成了新的障碍。面对面的医疗解释已经不可能了。病人对自己的疾病和治疗的了解并不完整，家属被拒绝前往医院，语言服务也受到限制。通常的医患家庭关系已经改变。ExplainmyProcedure是一个多语言的数字动画在线平台，支持医疗交流，并已被证明可以在心脏和外科手术前提高对益处、风险和替代方案的理解（[www.explainmyprocedure.com][0]）。该技术目前正在开发中，以在具有挑战性的急性和重症监护（ICU）环境中为医护人员、患者及其家属提供服务，ICU已成为冠状病毒大流行的前线。解释我的程序动画将有助于理解这种疾病，可能需要的程序，如通风和任何特定的治疗方法，在对抗病毒中出现有用的。在疫情期间，这些动画将以用户可在在线网络平台上选择的语言免费提供，以弥合疫情期间医院工作人员、患者及其家属之间的沟通差距。[0]: http://www.explainmyprocedure.com/

The coronavirus pandemic has created new barriers to medical communication at the time it is needed most. Face-to-face explanation of medical treatments is no longer possible. Patient understanding of their illness and treatment is incomplete, with family denied hospital access and language services restricted. The usual doctor-patient-family relationship has been transformed.ExplainmyProcedure is a multi-language online platform for digital animations that supports medical communication and has been shown to improve understanding of the benefits, risks and alternatives before cardiac and surgical procedures ([www.explainmyprocedure.com][0]). The technology is now being developed to serve healthcare workers, patients and their families in the challenging acute and Intensive care (ICU) environment that has become the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic.Explain my procedure animations will facilitate understanding of the disease, procedures that may be needed such as ventilation and any specific treatments that emerge as useful in combating the virus. The animations will be freely available during the pandemic in languages that can be selected by the user on an online web-platform to bridge the communication gap between hospital staff, patients and their families during the outbreak.[0]: http://www.explainmyprocedure.com/
