Tiers-Lieux d'Expérimentation

Foster the development of Tiers-Lieux d'Expérimentation for digital experimentation within healthcare organizations.

What is the purpose of this initiative?

Provide long-term funding for healthcare organizations that implement pilot programs, help finance their projects, and promote the results

Who is it for ?

In the following settings:

- healthcare
, sanitation, or medical-social
facilities—public or private
—in urban areas or in institutions

The facilities must be large enough to participate in the rollout of the tested solution
 

Key information

Budget: €63 million over 5 years.

5-year goals:

  • 35 Tiers-lieux financés
  • About 100 innovative digital solutions tested and evaluated

Issue

The lack of "testing grounds" is a barrier to the development of the digital health sector.

This initiative aims to establish and fund pilot programs in healthcare and medical-social facilities, in collaboration with community-based healthcare providers, to validate the medical and economic benefits of these services and accelerate their market entry.

Description

The initiative aims to: 

  • Fund organizations that are “drivers” of innovation so that they can implement these pilot programs (engaging healthcare professionals, conducting medico-economic evaluations, providing project support, etc.)
  • Empower these organizations and their digital industry partners to develop new tools and services, test them in real-world conditions, assess their impact, and identify the barriers and enablers to their deployment.
  • Disseminate the results of the experiments and contribute to the deployment of solutions that have demonstrated their medico-economic impact. Share the lessons learned from failed projects with market players and client organizations.
