The future of our healthcare system is at the heart of French people’s concerns

Healthcare has emerged as one of the key issues of the 2017 presidential campaign. Politicians have finally got to grips with the subject, and the French rank healthcare and the issue of dependency among their top expectations in pre-election debates.

Digital technology is transforming our healthcare system and inventing the medicine of tomorrow

With digital technology, patients become more involved in their own medical care. Thanks to the opportunities offered by new technologies, they can become more involved in the monitoring of their pathology, and enjoy a more fluid relationship with their healthcare team, regardless of time or distance.

Thanks to digital technology, healthcare professionals are able to manage their patients more efficiently and safely, with electronic medical records that facilitate care coordination, medical decision support tools and telemedicine solutions that improve patient quality of life and care through remote monitoring.

Digital technology provides administrations and payers with better tools for regulating the system, enabling them to keep healthcare expenditure under control, thanks in particular to the processing of data relating to the care provided and the treatments followed.
