In July 2019, LEEM created a "cross-cutting expert" commission to strengthen the efficiency and transparency of its work on digital tools, data and new health technologies. Headed by Martin Dubuc (Chairman and CEO of Biogen France), the commission has set 5 priorities: Build and promote a common vision and position aimed at fostering the role and place of drug companies in eHealth; Add to the appeal of France in eHealth matters via a regulatory, legal and economic framework that sets the country apart on the international scene; Ensure the integration of medication issues in the implementation and usage of health data; Share best practices on the implementation and evaluation of digital projects; Promote the development of digital culture and skills within companies.
