Digital Health in France: A Snapshot Over a year after #telemonitoring was officially integrated into France's healthcare system, the digital health market is beginning to take shape. While telemonitoring is making headway, particularly in oncology, digital therapies (#DTx) are struggling to gain a foothold. ✅ Telemonitoring Leading the Way, DTx Lagging Behind France has made notable progress in telemonitoring, with systems like Resilience Pro seeing success, especially in oncology. However, DTx is still facing significant challenges. The sluggish pace is primarily due to stringent requirements for clinical and organizational benefits, coupled with the government’s public health priorities, which tend to favour oncology and mental health (like depression and anxiety) while leaving areas like rehabilitation and chronic disease management behind. ✅ Market Trends: Where Digital Health is Gaining Ground ✔ Telemonitoring Gains Momentum in Oncology: Since June 2023, telemonitoring devices have been reimbursed under the general health coverage system, with cancer monitoring tools showing strong progress (1890 health structures have declared a remote monitoring activity so far). ✔ DTx Adoption Slow: Despite the rise of digital therapies in Europe, France lags behind countries like Germany. Hannes Klöpper has recently posted valuable insight about HelloBetter's struggle to secure reimbursement from Cnedimts. ✅ France vs. Germany France’s strict regulatory landscape contrasts sharply with Germany’s more flexible DiGA program, which allows faster reimbursement for digital health applications. Germany’s approach has fostered a broad range of innovative solutions, while France’s focus remains on specific areas like oncology. This explains why Germany is ahead in DTx adoption. ✅ Navigating the French Market: Key Insights and some advise ✔ Tackle Regulatory Hurdles Head-On: Be ready for a rigorous approval process, particularly for DTx. Early engagement with French authorities and collaboration with local players will definitely help navigate this complex landscape. I would recommend an upfront check-up of your « Market Access Readiness ». Spending that time is gaining a better view on your winning strategy and evaluating your chances more efficiently. ✔ Align with Priority Areas: Products targeting government-prioritized areas like oncology and mental health are more likely to succeed. Keep an eye on evolving health priorities to position your offerings strategically. ✔ Leverage Partnerships and Pilots: Forge alliances with influent French stakeholders and participate in pilot projects like “Article 51” to enhance market entry and boost approval chances. ✔ Plan for Financial Challenges: The path to market in France is costly and time-consuming. Explore alternative business models, such as direct-to-patient sales or partnerships with private insurers, to offset upfront costs.

Alix is designed to target multiple diseases, including #cancer We want to thank MD, brain surgeons at CHU de Brest for sharing relevant research publications with us to allow the right developments of Alix, in particular to have a solution that is customized, specific to each individual Extracts from the Abstract ⤵️: " Fatigue is one of the most common adverse effects of cancer that might persist for years after treatment completion in otherwise healthy survivors. Cancer-related fatigue causes disruption in all aspects of quality of life and might be a risk factor of reduced survival. The prevalence and course of fatigue in patients with cancer have been well characterized and there is growing understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms. Inflammation seems to have a key role in fatigue before, during, and after cancer-treatment. However, there is a considerable variability in the presentation of cancer-related fatigue, much of which is not explained by disease-related or treatment-related characteristics" "... a variety of intervention approaches have shown beneficial effects in randomized controlled trials, including physical activity, psychosocial, mind–body, and pharmacological treatments..." #md #hospital #cancer #AI #AIforHealth #Healthcare #Europe #USA #futureofmedicine #physicalactivity #customizedmedecine #patientqualityoflife #brainsurgeon #fatigue #cancerrelatedfatigue Sophie Deniel Yannick GUILLODO Chloé Le Douarin Sullivan Gauville Lucas Morisseau Maxime B'chir Benoît Quero Jean-Luc DUFOUR Mathieu Champenois Yann Le DOUARIN Nature Research Custom Media UCLA MACMILLAN PUBLISHERS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

🔍 France's Medtech sector is at a pivotal moment...In 2023, financial sponsor exits in French healthcare totaled just €141M compared to €1.3B in Germany and €8.1B in the US! Despite its rich history in medical innovation, the lack of local private equity investment is holding back promising companies. France currently accounts for 14% of the European medical device market but lags behind Germany’s 27%. The good news? There’s a backlog of mature French medtech firms generating revenues of €20M to €30M that are ready to scale up, but they need more local growth capital. Upcoming deals, such as Astorg’s stake in Echosens and Theravia’s exit pipeline, highlight the potential waiting to be unlocked. With the new European Commission expected to simplify regulations, the question remains: how can we harness PE support to ensure France's medtech sector thrives?

"What's new in healthcare innovation globally?" I had the pleasure to share my thoughts on this topic at the annual event in Paris hosted by La Poste Santé & Autonomie, which brought together the entire French #healthcare and #healthTech ecosystem. Thank you florence dupre and Olivier Barets for the invitation, and appreciation to my fellow panelists: . François BRAUN: Former Minister of Social Affairs and Health of #France . stephane pierrefitte: Deputy General Director at the University Hospital Group (Psychiatry & Neurosciences) . Hélène GUIMIOT: Head of the Health Service in the Legal Support Department of the French data protection authority (CNIL) . Kathy Malas: Director of Research, Innovation, and Learning at CISSS Montérégie-Ouest, Quebec. Special thanks to Dominique Pon, CEO of La Poste Santé & Autonomie for the great moderation (and great event). The key points of my presentations in a nutshell: The NHS, a cornerstone of British pride, is in crisis according to Lord Darzi's 2024 report (published in Sep 24) Key findings show 33% of Britons now wait over a week for GP appointments, compared to 16% in 2021. Bupa has responded by offering a subscription model for primary care: £17/month for same-day teleconsultations or £22/month for in-person visits, raising concerns about a potential two-tier system. Following the publication of the report, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer aims to transition the NHS to a digital system. There are already promising initiatives within the NHS like the 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and the GP Practice Improvement Program, which has replaced 30% of face-to-face visits with text consultations. AI could also play a crucial role, with most NHS staff supporting its use in patient care (76%) and administration (81%). Four key #AI archetypes include: 1️⃣ Non-clinical AI for consumers/patients AI-based care navigation, seen with US companies like Transcarent or UnitedHealth Group's Find Care & Costs tool. 2️⃣ Clinical AI for consumers/patients AI predictive models intercepting disease through blood analysis (e.g., Function Health, Aware) or imaging (e.g., Neko Health). 3️⃣ Clinical AI for health professionals AI Clinical Decision Support (AI-CDS), especially in radiology (75% of FDA approved AI-CDS), but also beyond with companies like Tempus AI in AI-oncology. 4️⃣ Non-clinical AI for healthcare professionals AI-enhanced administrative management (like Ambient AI, ...), likely to see the fastest adoption in the short term. Three potential winners in the AI healthcare transformation: Epic: Aiming to orchestrate AI in hospitals with its App Store Showroom. Mayo Clinic: Already using 70+ AI algorithms and developing the Mayo Clinic Platform_Connect, a data hub connecting major hospitals for AI model training. La Poste Santé & Autonomie: An innovative public player acting as a trusted intermediary between healthcare systems, industry, and regulators to implement new models of care.

We previously discussed #QALYs in #HealthEconomicEvaluations ? But to calculate #QALYs, you need #utilities 😀 ! These are subjective values, and estimate the perception of #QualityOfLife at a certain point in time. This video describes the main methods to derive such estimates. #TTO #VAS #SG, #EQ5D, etc... these are key words you may have herd before. Wanna understand them better? Of note : all the links we share contain a summary PDF you can download, summarizing the video, so don't hesitate ! https://lnkd.in/e-7jxrfa
