The mission of the Digital Health Ethics unit is to make ethics a central element of the digital shift in healthcare, notably through the development of practical tools to raise awareness, evaluate and label digital tools, whether services for healthcare professionals, or mobile apps particularly for citizens, with a view to referencing for the "bouquet de services pro" and "espace numérique de santé" platforms.

For example, the aim is to draw up a best practice guide to help startups and publishers integrate an ethical dimension into the design of artificial intelligence solutions for healthcare (the "by design" ethics principle). The aim is also to build a self-assessment grid for the ethical dimension of professional tools (HIS and practice management software).

It will also be advisable to initiate a digital sobriety approach aimed at reducing the environmental impacts, and in particular greenhouse gas emissions, of healthcare information systems, with the aim of committing digital healthcare project sponsors and players to sustainable development.
