Whether you are a doctor, a nurse, a patient or an ordinary citizen, the pandemic has touched you. And this pandemic, which is affecting the entire world on an unprecedented scale, reminds us that the most precious asset for mankind is and will remain health.

The aging of the population in several major countries is redefining healthcare needs. In 2030, people over 65 will represent a quarter of the French population and will suffer from an average of 4 to 6 diseases, which will make it necessary to promote the shift to outpatient care and the maintenance of the oldest people at home.

In recent years, a wave of technological innovations has swept through the healthcare world, raising unprecedented hopes. All innovations, including those in e-health, allowing a more detailed understanding of risk factors and mechanisms of pathologies should make it possible to move towards predictive medicine. In addition, advances in Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and the Internet of Things are opening up possibilities that are difficult to assess at this time. Nevertheless, it is important to follow these advances in order to imagine the solutions of tomorrow.

Moreover, the democratization of access to medical information has already changed the relationship between patients and medicine. Patients are now actors in their own health and interact more with their healthcare professionals. They are also demanding more prevention, a logic that offers the sector the opportunity to diversify to better support them.

These new medical technologies (Medtech) are going to revolutionize the care pathway, with the construction of this pathway by pathology, which will make it possible to take advantage of the progress being made and make a useful contribution to the revolution in better living and better aging that is taking shape today.
