A word from David SAINATI, interministerial coordinator for the "Digital Health" acceleration strategy:

As a former entrepreneur, meeting innovators is always a real pleasure for me. Discovering new innovations in digital health, understanding the expectations of project leaders, identifying the obstacles to project growth - these are all topics discussed at these meetings. This feedback enables us to move forward even further and implement more effectively the 35 actions of the "Digital Health" acceleration strategy, whose objectives include improving citizens' healthy life expectancy and making access to care and prevention more equitable.

A word from Louise PIHOUEE, in charge of the Telehealth Mission at the Ministry of Health and Prevention, Direction Générale de l'Offre de Soins:

The "Digital Health" Acceleration Strategy Tour de France has seen us move forward together on telehealth, meeting patients, professionals and manufacturers at stops in Bordeaux, Lille and La Réunion.
It enabled us to communicate on our priorities in telemedicine, and on the major challenge of making digital solutions accessible to all, for which a call for projects has been launched, because there is still a lot to do!
. Exchanges with the ecosystem are mutually enriching: the players are better informed of our orientations and of the telehealth framework, which is constantly evolving, and, on the part of the Direction Générale de l'Offre de Soins, we discover innovative and promising projects in the field. This dialogue enables us to build a common vision and path together!

The word from Louis CULOT, in charge of "Digital Health" projects at the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, Directorate General for Enterprise:

The Tour de France of the "Digital Health" acceleration strategy enabled me to exchange with the digital health ecosystem to present and explain our actions aimed at digital health companies, while gathering valuable feedback from the field on the public policies we are pursuing. Thanks to this framework of informal exchanges, we received numerous suggestions from the ecosystem that will enable us to better adapt certain actions in the strategy

A number of calls for projects and calls for expressions of interest have been launched as part of France 2030, whether recurring windows such as the i-nov competition or dedicated ones such as that for third places. This tour of France has helped to publicize them, and to attract a large number of project sponsors.
