Mines Saint-Étienne has joined the Avenir Santé Numérique Chair, a programme funded by the Fondation de l’Avenir to rethink digital health in a comprehensive and scientific way. The Chair’s objective is to assess the integration of digital technology in healthcare, both as a practical tool and as a research subject, in order to transform care pathways and improve the efficiency of healthcare systems.
Objectives of the Chair
The Avenir Santé Numérique Chair addresses current and future challenges in digital health by focusing on the following aspects.
- Evaluating the Impact of Digital Health
Understanding how digital technologies influence and improve care to optimally integrate them into healthcare pathways. - Developing Research Tools in Digital Health
Exploring digital health not only as an operational solution but also as an essential field of research for the future. - Optimizing Care Pathways
Using digital technologies to enhance the efficiency and coordination of care pathways.
Research Themes
The research programme conducted by Mines Saint-Étienne under the direction of Professor Vincent Augusto focuses on several key areas to transform digital health:
- Modeling of Care Flows and Pathways
Studying and optimizing care pathways integrating new technologies to improve flows within healthcare institutions. - Evaluating Performance in Digital Health
Analyzing the performance of digital care pathways to better understand their impacts and identify best practices. - Health Data and Prediction
Leveraging health data to develop predictive models, enabling better anticipation of care needs and personalized treatments.
These research themes enable the development of concrete solutions for the management of care pathways and the improvement of the quality of healthcare services.
Funder
The Avenir Santé Numérique Chair is funded by the Fondation de l’Avenir, which supports health research and innovation to improve care systems. Thanks to this support, Mines Saint-Étienne benefits from resources and strategic partnerships to explore the potential of digital health.
