Digital simulation technologies and applications in the healthcare sector
Towards Digital Medicine in France
Abstract: One of the most important progress in Medicine comes from the recent irruption of the digital world in patient diagnosis, therapy and follow-up. This revolution comes from three breakthroughs: first, extension of the Web of data to the semantic Web and the Web of things, second development of very efficient “life to digital” converters with extraordinary successes (e.g. genomics and imaging), and third development of algorithms allowing medical doctors to interpret the digital avatar of a given patient (digital patient) and search for “electronic twins” in databases containing extensive and comprehensive patient data. Evidence in medicine thus is not only based on clinical trials, meta-analyses or consensus but also on real life data (“Data of all for treatment of each”). Although conceptually simple, this new paradigm faces several hard to broke down barriers including technical, economical and last but not least, ethical and regulatory ones.
Moreover, introducing these concepts is totally new for patients and practitioners, justifying to introduce new ideas in general education and in communication and to organize new educational courses for medical doctors and more generally to caregivers. Strong skills are needed not only in statistics, simulation and artificial intelligence but also in psychological science and ethics, since this new medicine considerably modifies patient/doctor interaction.
Starting by genomics, France has decided to place the first stone of Digital Medicine. The most important pieces of this strategic action will be discussed..
