An Argentine pediatrician won the first prize of an invention contest organized in Switzerland

"The parents of the children came to my consultation with maturity guidelines not met and baduming everything was fine, no one had told them anything. Other times, they consult by mere curiosity and find out more about their son, to find out what the child should do in a given month. "With this premise as the driving force, pediatrician Lelis Hayipandelli has created a device for observing the neurological development of babies.

"The increased incidence of cognitive impairment and child development, autistic spectrum, immaturity of neurodevelopment, and ADHD, allowed me to mobilize and deepen this subject and to sensitize the parents and the professionals to the importance of being attentive at each stage of the neurological development of our children ", said the specialist of his invention.

Geneva Inventions is a prestigious exhibition of inventions that takes place every year in the Swiss city of Geneva and brings together inventors from around the world in a unique place. In his 47th edition, the Argentine doctor has won a gold medal for his ingenious and useful creation.

Evaset Baby is a set of objects allowing parents to playfully observe the neurological growth of their baby. You can observe the motor, visual, auditory and cognitive area month after month and consult the specialist quickly.

Composed of two small suitcases, the set includes one with stimulation elements, games and evaluation to be used with babies from 0 to 12 months (rattles, wicks, fabrics, cushions, etc.), and another for children from 12 to 24 months (cubes, sheets and pencils, figurines, etc.). It derives from a method used by pediatricians called Cat Clams, but it is modified and adapted so that parents can use them.

The attention deficit, or autism spectrum disorder, among others, is a condition of neurobiological origin that may help detect Evaset. According to Hayipandelli, it's a method that has been thought through, designed and tested for five years in his office.

In addition to the instruments, mainly playful, to observe babies, the invention of the pediatrician, who it is not a diagnosis but a guide, provides information to parents to guide them. "The set is easy to use at home, with an explanatory book, a USB key with videos and items to use month by month." In addition to being used for prevention, this set is good for early stimulation, "he said.It is recommended to use it when the child reaches the corresponding month, once a day and once or twice a week until the tests are correct.. Do it slowly, with time and patience. You can evaluate what you want in 40 to 50 minutes. "In addition, it is ideal that the child is in a comfortable position, without hunger, without sleep and with the appropriate climate in the room, without interruption of other objects such as television, radio or television. another person performing another activity in the same environment.
