NEORTHO: Development of a Digital Tool for the Individualization of Speech Therapy for Premature Newborns
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study concerns the creation and implementation of a digital tool presenting the various orofacial stimuli that can be offered to premature newborns. This app is intended for parents, to allow them to play a more active role in their child's care, and provide them with special time with their child. The notion of pleasure is very important to us, and it's vital to help parents rediscover this feeling with their child. Different profiles will be created to individualize our recommendations, facilitate the understanding of orofacial stimuli, make them more concrete than drawings, and provide care adapted to each patient and improve the development of newborns through more regular orofacial stimulation.

Detailed Description
Two groups will be formed:
Group A - control: receiving the speech therapy currently in place in the department.
Group B - experimental: will receive the same care as the first group, plus access to the videos and the introduction of early orofacial stimulation.
Group B: First, an initial assessment will be performed in speech-language pathology of the oro-myofunctional and oral functions of the newborn. This will determine which orofacial solicitations to give to the baby and create in the patient's profile.
Parents will be trained in orofacial stimulation and will be coached during the first sessions. When parents are ready, access will be given to their personal space on the application. Appointments will be scheduled to remodel the treatment if necessary. Sucking (ECEPAB), feeding (PIBBS) and behavioural (EDIN) abilities will be assessed. Parents will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about their feelings.
