Third-Party Place: LIEN Santé - Lab d'Innovation et d'Expérimentation Numérique en Santé (Lab for Innovation and Digital Experimentation in Health)
Lead by Nantes University Hospital
Main consortium members: Atlanpole, Nantes Université
LIEN Santé is focused on the anticipation of the integration of new digital solutions within a hospital of the future and open to decompartmentalized experimental fields (laboratories, hospital, primary care, data warehouse)
Key figures
The Third-Place service offering
The Third-Party Center's offering is based on 3 building blocks according to the technological maturity of innovation projects:
Ideation and prototyping:
- Accompany the emergence of innovative projects that will benefit from experimentation grounds in 3 to 5 years
- Acculturate to the fundamentals of digital healthcare to be taken into account right from development
Experimentation:
- Connecting fields and users
- Accompany on the methodological, clinical and scientific aspects of experimentation
- Realize proofs of concept on the proper integration of the solution in its environment and with users
- Search for complementary funding
- Access training and validation data
Market access:
- Doing medico-economic studies
- Anticipating the regulatory process
- Accompany the project owner in his commercial and business strategy
- Training in the specifics of the hospital market
In each of these areas, the third-location center supports project developers in project management, contractualization, regulations and financial engineering.
Tiers lieu d'expérimentation projects
Project 1: PRIME
Supplier: FIZIMED
Solution : New care pathway based on the EMY medical device, a wireless biofeedback perineal probe connected to a mobile app, enabling pelvi-perineal rehabilitation at home.
Need : Stress urinary incontinence affects 20% of women, according to the Association Française d'Urologie, and is cured by pelvi-perineal rehabilitation, on medical prescription, during a series of appointments with a masseur-kinésithérapeute or midwife trained in this specialty. This treatment raises a number of practical issues, including:
- The need for a prescription .
- The delay before having a first appointment and between appointments
- The distances to a professional trained in this specialty
- The organization of getting to appointments with family and professional life
- Potential care of a young child
- The discomfort and discomfort caused by manual rehabilitation on intimacy, which sometimes makes access to rehabilitation difficult
- The need to practice between sessions for optimal effectiveness of management
Apport du Tiers-Lieu : Thanks to the Tiers-Lieu d'expérimentation, the PRIME project benefits from relevant experimental sites, access to users and advice on anticipating regulatory steps. It also benefits from expertise in clinical research, medico-economics and health technology assessment.
