iCRAC: the coronary emergency app
What is it for ?
This application allows a direct exchange between emergency physicians and cardiologists in the context of coronary emergency, and thus to reduce treatment times. It ensures immediate, updated, secure and personalized sharing of information (protocols).
Given the importance that these connected objects have taken on in our practice and the potential they offer in terms of sharing information within the same community, we have imagined and designed an application called "iCRAC", compatible with Android and iOs, dedicated to interventional cardiology. It incorporates a whole series of practical and useful features, some of which aim to improve the management of cardiac emergencies, others aim to help the coronarographer in his daily life and to offer him a real "catheter kit". .

- Securing
The iCRAC application is reserved for healthcare professionals, secured by a login and password, its access is only authorized after verification by an administrator of the medical or paramedical status of the user (order number or RPPS).
- Free and accessible to all
This free application was financed by the Regional Club of Angioplasticians of the Center (CRAC), developed by the company v-labs and can be used in all regions of France.
- In total
With “iCRAC”, we are finally going to have a customizable smartphone application available free of charge, dedicated to cardiac emergencies and coronary angioplasty. Its purpose is to facilitate the sharing of information between the various actors concerned and to improve the care of our patients. We created it so that it can provide simple and effective solutions to many problems encountered in our daily practice and hope that it will eventually become the essential application for any interventional or emergency cardiologist.
