What happens when your life hangs by a thread? How can technology and humanity save lives in the most critical moments? What if intensive care was more than just emergency medicine but a true revolution transforming all modern medicine? Professor Jean-Daniel Chiche, a major figure in modern intensive care and director of the Intensive Care Unit at CHUV in Lausanne, unveils the secrets of a field where every second counts. Founder of the 101 Foundation, he has revolutionized the use of data in intensive care, saving over 100,000 lives through a systemic and technological approach.

In this episode, he transforms our view of intensive care by explaining how this "general medicine of vital distress" advances all other specialties. Far from the heroic image of the isolated intensivist, he advocates for a "system culture" where cutting-edge technology and deep humanity combine to create "second lives."

Professor Chiche guides us through innovations in personalized medicine in intensive care, from the immunoscope to predictive algorithms, while emphasizing the crucial importance of psychological support. He reveals how his digital tools like LifeMap transform the experience of families and patients, drastically reducing post-traumatic stress.
