Digital Health Programme

Changed on 21/02/2023

Like many other fields, healthcare benefits from the ubiquity of information technology, which provides storage, computing power and connectivity at all levels. The growing availability of digitized data, more or less structured, combined with the increase in computing power, has enabled the widespread deployment of analysis methods, such as the popularization of machine learning, which is a branch of artificial intelligence.

As a continuation of the Inria Covid-19 mission, which contributed to the launch and support of more than 35 projects, and in parallel with the construction of the national digital health strategy, Inria has set up the Digital Health Programme in 2021.
