The climate, energy and ecological emergencies require an unprecedented acceleration of collective measures and their steeringfor the drastic reduction of the environmental footprint, also in healthcare sector activities. For the first time in French history,ecological planning has been entrusted to the Prime Minister.

As part of France 2030's health component "Plan innovation santé 2030", the Délégation ministérielle au Numérique en santé (DNS) has been commissioned during the 2nd half of 2022 to conduct a recensement des besoins des acteurs de l'écosystème de la recherche clinique concernant l'inclusion des volontaires dans les essais cliniques.

On the basis of the state of play presented in this report, DNS has designed several costed scenarios leading to thelaunch of experimentation around a minimum viable product (MVP) for a national clinical trials base, in conjunction with the French Health Ministry's Directorate General for Health (DGS) and Digital Affairs Directorate (DNUM).

Work on an MVP for a national clinical trials database linked to the RIPH 2G IS was launched on January 18, 2023. Santé.fr will be the first interface with the national database.

The Health Data Hub, in partnership with the Délégation au Numérique en Santé (DNS) and the Agence de l'Innovation en Santé (AIS) attached to the Secrétariat Général pour l'Investissement, will support three new Data Challenges in 2023, bringing to 10 the number of challenges supported since 2020.
