Digital health

While many sectors have already largely embarked on their digital revolution, the healthcare industry is lagging behind. Yet new technologies can bring undeniable added value to organizations, practitioners and patients alike.

Artificial intelligence can help diagnose diseases by identifying new markers or weak signals that were previously ignored. As for 5G, it offers a favorable playing field for the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of connected sensors can then facilitate the monitoring of a patient's health data, while enabling him or her to continue living at home.

In recent years, a number of initiatives have been launched to harness recent technological advances for a new approach to healthcare. E-health aims to develop digital tools that deliver useful services to professionals and individuals. These may include personalizing medical treatment to suit each individual and the results obtained, or creating a "digital clone" reproducing a patient's characteristics, to provide a training ground for surgeons before an operation. Augmented healthcare, for its part, relies on medical devices and robots to support medical practitioners, facilitating their training and assisting them during operations.

Thanks to their multi-disciplinary and complementary skills, researchers at Carnot Télécom et Société numérique work across the entire healthcare innovation chain. They are able to develop innovative solutions, test their relevance, and decipher market issues.
