The 12 digital health FrenchTech start-ups that won the challenge organized by the French Foundation of the Academy of Medicine and Doctors 2.0 & You pitched to the attendees, gathered at UNESCO (700 participants) The start-ups were selected for their concrete experience to-date and for their ability to propose a health or medical service to emerging markets. They cover a variety of topics in eHealth including: emergency telemedicine (Nomadeec) and telemedicine (Carians, DeepLink) precision radiotherapy (Therapanacea), pharmacovigilance (EveDrug), connected objects (Bioserenity, FeetMe), physician and surgical training (Invivox), professional replacements (medGo), health and wellness (Umanlife), hospital and patient communication (TelecomSanté), serious gaming (Tilak Health).

You can now watch those pitches below in English with voiceover, or in the original French.

Congratulations to the 12 start-ups.

#FAMx Paris, participatory culture in service of healthcare systems

Denise Silber — Thu, 03 May 2018 08:31:42 +0000

Every year since 2012, I have enjoyed participating in Doctors2.0 & You, I learned a lot at these meetings. The new “conference in a conference” format allows us to mobilize differently the #doctors20 community and to adapt itself to the development of digital in healthcare

Economic constraints are always important in healthcare systems. Reverse innovation opens the prospect of new financially sustainable progress. The program of FAMx Paris conference (31 May – 1 June at UNESCO) gives us the opportunity to discover these frugal innovations with the hope that better care and lower costs will not contradict one another. By giving a voice to healthcare professionals and researchers in emerging countries, it is also aparticipatory culture that FAMx Paris contributes to help healthcare systems progress.

Within a community, each contribution matters

The changing role of healthcare professionals is one of the three major challenges put forward by the conference. It is probably by advancing participatory culture that healthcare systems can better integrate the upheavals induced by new technologies. Jenkins (2009) describes several key elements needed to create a strong participatory culture. Low barriers to entry and strong culture are needed to create and share. In a community, members have to believe that their contributions matter and to feel some degree of social connection with one another. Taking into account the innovations produced by professionals and patients of emerging countries contributes to develop this strong culture of sharing.

In Dakar, Paris or Jaipur, internet and smartphones have seen similar developments in just a few years. The opportunities offered by these tools are still widely underused. Healthcare professionals have to take into account rapidly changing uses. Patients find it difficult to understand why so many activities of everyday life that are integrated in the digital transformation change so slowly in healthcare institutions. These evolutions are complicated to implement and experiences from elsewhere help us better understand digital transformation. The innovations that will be presented at FAMxParis will allow us to take a fresh look at issues that we cannot yet solve.

A different perspective on digital transformation

Let’s take the example of Khushi Baby. It is a connected necklace, developed by an Indian team, that facilitates the follow-up of maternity and the infant. This project was recently presented at the last Geneva Health Forum. It shows us an approach to electronic medical records that is very different from the one we know. Khushi Baby is probably not transferrable to the context of healthcare systems in Europe. But we can take a different look at connected objects and the electronic medical record after listening to Mohammad Shahnawaz tell us the story of this project.

I am impatient to discover the projects that will be presented at FAMx Paris. This conference will be the opportunity to develop this participative culture which we so need in healthcare to address the challenges of digital transformation.

As the founder of Doctors 2.0 & You, I am delighted to announce the first cooperation for Doctors 2.0 & You as a conference within a conference, with FAMx Paris on (May 31-June 1, 2018) in Unesco headquarters. We will be co-constructing the FAMx Paris start-up challenge, running a social media ambassador team, partnering with media, and many other great activities. We hope to see many of you from the local and international Doctors 2.0 & You community. Free admission!

FAMx Paris is also a first for its founders, the Foundation of the French National Academy of Medicine (FAM). FAM x Paris is a two-day international conference bringing together participants from Brazil, Russia, India, China, Senegal, Mexico … Europe, and North America with 12 “reverse innovations,” 44 speakers, 12 start-up exhibitors chosen via an online challenge, world coffee breaks and…free entry, thanks to the sponsors.

Reverse innovations for health, the theme of FAMx Paris, reverse the direction of the flow of health innovation from low to high-resource health systems, from South to North. This theme of reverse innovation is the brainchild of FAM whose professionals have been exploring the transfer of innovations from health system to health system through bilateral symposia with each of their six country partners.

Having plunged into this theme with my knowledge of the challenges that face eHealth, I observe that innovations developed in low-resource health systems bring solutions to the people and operate with a broader mandate than in highly developed health systems. These innovations can create new roles for healthcare professionals, they can bring together technologies and techniques. What matters is that they are developed in close proximity with the endusers, the patients and the professionals.

And so, the question, we shall explore on May 31 and June 1, is how and whether we can take these innovative solutions and foster their adaptation to systems around the world, including France, the US, and others.

Take medical deserts, for example. There are 640 counties in the US that require more than an hour’s drive to reach a hospital. Can they be supported by mobile medical units or by telemedicine solutions that come from emerging health systems?
What about rocketing costs? Can “frugal innovations” from India and other FAM partner countries make our health systems more sustainable?
How can we optimize the deployment of health workers and the various health professionals?
