The field of medical imaging is particularly abudant in rich and dense data, whose exploitation is emblematic of the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence. The medical imaging of the future will be portable, hybrid, personalised and therapeutic, with the aim of more precise and earlier diagnoses and less invasive procedures.

This action aims to support the development of an imaging sector of excellence in France, by increasing the co-financing effort for the development of new medical imaging solutions and image processing software. This action will aim in particular to: 

• Support innovation carried out by startups and SMEs in R&D
• Support collaborative projects involving industrials, academics and industrial demonstrators
• Support the upgrading of software in healthcare facilities for sharing medical imaging data through the digital component of the Ségur de la santé
• Support clinical studies aiming to demonstrate the medico-economic benefits of software-based medical devices to facilitate diagnosis and therapeutic decisions based on image analysis, through a call for projects dedicated to the acceleration strategy
