The platform serves 380,000 healthcare professionals and attracts 80 million patient visits each month.

He emphasizes the importance of simple, smart tools to enable preventive care. ✔ He believes that technology can transform how practitioners innovate in their daily work, allowing general practitioners and specialists to treat more patients and handle broader #clinicalcases efficiently. ✔ AI and technology can transform passive, traditional consultations into more dynamic, engaging experiences, benefiting both professionals and patients. Digital #healthstartups play a crucial role in this evolution. ✔ Niox-Chateau emphasizes that technology should be easy to use and have a significant impact on the daily lives of healthcare professionals. #AI can amplify these changes, opening up new possibilities. ✔ At the outset, AI will support practitioners with administrative tasks, ensuring transparency and reducing the possibility of mistakes, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of #healthcareservices. ✔ Niox-Chateau concludes by reinforcing the potential of technology and AI to change the lives of patients and professionals, encouraging the audience to embrace these innovations for a better healthcare future. 🗣 “I believe technology, amplified by AI, can have a systemic impact on health and the lives of professionals. We dream of healthcare professionals with patient data in the right context, enhanced medical knowledge, and more time for patient care, enabled by smart and simple tools for preventive care,” says Stanislas Niox-Chateau. 👉 Watch all the replays of the Adopt AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/eDxHcR47 📅 Save the date - on November 21st, join us at the AI for Health Summit at STATION F in Paris, where Doctolib will be present to explore the future of healthcare technology! ⚕ You can already book your pass: https://lnkd.in/ej3pUNa7

"AI is statistics on steroids!" 📰 Laurent Daudet co-Founder and co-CEO of LightOn was interviewed in french economic newspaper Les Echos Entrepreneurs Gen AI serves as a catalyst for enterprise transformation by enabling the automation of internal workflows. LightOn's Paradigm platform empowers non technical people to independently build and deploy agents to implement and streamline their daily tasks, significantly reducing workload and enhancing efficiency. By managing Large Language Models on premise, Paradigm supports enterprises throughout this transformative journey. 🎙️ Laurent illustrated how Paradigm revolutionizes its customers daily tasks: "There are many applications, such as being able to query documentary databases in natural language. For example, we have set up an IT support chatbot for all agents of the Région Ile de France Council. Our model responds to requests by indicating the procedure to follow and quoting its sources, which limits the risk of hallucination." #Paradigm #GenAI #LLM #AI

🌍 Focus on two HEC Paris startups that use plants and satellites to promote sustainability ☀ In the special issue "Aligning Business with Planetary Boundaries," Knowledge@HEC interviewed the founders of two remarkable startups from HEC’s incubator at Station F: Fabien Koutchekian CEO at Genomines and Richard Barre, CEO at Pixstart, who are developing green innovations with a deep impact in their respective sectors. Genomines utilizes plants to selectively extract targeted metals, crucial for battery production, aiming to minimize environmental impact. Pixstart offers tailored satellite imagery analysis to monitor changes in water, forests, agricultural fields, and construction sites, optimizing environmental resource management and informing decisions. 3 Key takeaways: 🔹Sustainable Innovation: Both Genomines (plant-based metal extraction) and Pixstart (environmental monitoring with satellites) prioritize sustainability in their approaches. 🔹Environmental Impact Focus: Reducing environmental impact is a core principle for both Genomines and Pixstart, with Genomines aiming to minimize mining's footprint and Pixstart promoting resource optimization. 🔹Social Responsibility: Genomines works with NGOs to bring social benefits alongside business development, while Pixstart fosters a diverse team and considers the social impact of their technology. 🌟 This is an opportunity for us to congratulate them for their great success and transformative journey. These talented entrepreneurs and members of the HEC community bring sustainable solutions through their skills and dedication. ➡️ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dbPRk-Dk With Inge Kerkloh-Devif, Antoine Lepretre, Thiago Penteado, Incubateur HEC Paris, HEC Paris - Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute, Céline Bonnet-Laquitaine, Daniel Brown, Fernando Diaz Lopez, Ph.D., Daniel Halbheer #Sustainability #PositiveChange #HECFoundation #HECParis #Research #Education #Impact #HECknowledge

[🎙️] Do you know what French companies are doing to achieve their ecological transition and develop an economy that respects planetary boundaries? 🌍 Let me introduce you to the « CEC » (Convention of Companies for Climate), for which I’ve just been appointed (one of the many) spokesperson (or Top Voice, as LinkedIn likes to call it 😉). I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the very first edition back in 2021 (I'll tell you more about the origins of this initiative and the people in the photo in a future post.), right when the world was debating whether we should continue business as usual or completely rethink our societal and economic models. The experience was so eye-opening that I offered to become the CEC’s Minister of Foreign Affairs (yes, I’m shooting high! 😅) to share this initiative and its learnings with our friends around the globe 🌍. After all, I had been elected Minister of Foreign Affairs of the « ideal Social Economy government » by Carenews readers in 2018. We’ll start by sharing some content in English. But first, a quick intro for those wondering: What exactly is the CEC?👇 Founded in December 2020, the Convention of Companies for Climate (CEC) aims to make the transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative one irresistible by 2030. It’s ambitious, but with motivated leaders and engaged experts, anything is possible 💪 Between 2021 and 2022, the first edition brought business leaders together in a collective effort to redefine their models within planetary boundaries. Today, there are 17 CEC programs, with over 2,000 leaders (CEOs & « Planet Champions ») and 1,000 companies redesigning their future. And the cherry on top 🍒: the CEC is expanding to Switzerland and Belgium soon! If you’re curious to learn more, check out what the CEC is all about 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTbMeEXt That being said, over the coming weeks, I will share with you stories, tools, and concrete examples of businesses of all sizes undergoing their transformation 🌱🌍 #CEC #TopVoice #Climate #Business #Economy #FutureIsNow

There a fewer and fewer public companies.  They were +8000 in the US in 1996 and are now only 4642.  That’s down 43%. How did this happened? You can explain this in many ways :  The regulation makes it increasingly difficult for a company to IPO VC & PE have be on the rise for the last decade Acquisitions are also on the rise. To give you a snapshot : 870 publics companies were acquired by one of the magnificient seven (google, apple, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla and Nvidia) And what’s the consequence? More and more companies, facing difficulties by IPO are drawn to VC & PE were there are more and more investors. Even though the private market lack transparency and available data, VC and PE firms have been working on tools to obtain data in ordre to make better investment décision. It’s the case for Earlybird or EQT Ventures. And also a lot of start-ups that are now working to create tools to help VC in their decision making process. So now the question is : will private markets one day have a sufficient data level for investors to make as informed decision as they would in public markets ? On my side I truly believe that in the upcoming years, we'll see the first quants VC. If you want to read some more : https://lnkd.in/eKFZuyeE
