CARE d'ALSACE aims to improve citizens' commitment to digital health, with citizens coming from all walks of life, such as patients, healthcare professionals and medico-social players. The use of solutions must be taken into account very early on, as a determining parameter in the success of digital health innovation. ALSACE's CARE program aims to meet these expectations by including users in the innovation process, from idea to market launch, using a usage-based approach.

The Tiers-lieu CARE d'Alsace is made up of different entities, namely:

• Biovalley France ;
• OpenCare Lab ;
• the University Hospitals of Strasbourg;
• UGECAM Alsace;
