With our digital health research, we are charting a course toward innovative and secure digital health technologies with the capacity to improve people’s health.
Digital transformation provides a real opportunity to develop foundational, real-world solutions that deliver improvements to the French healthcare system. CEA-List has expertise in technologies that are vital to the healthcare sector, including responsible AI, cybersecurity, the design of reliable and secure software, trusted networks, secure data processing, digital twins, and instrumentation. This deep knowledge of healthcare tech challenges makes CEA-List a partner for manufacturers, hospitals, and research institutes.
The goal is to develop optical and/or ultrasound imaging systems that can be used for early diagnosis:

Two lines of research are being pursued at CEA-List:
Related projects: H2020 DeepHealth – ANR COVInose project
Radiotherapy, which can deliver locally controlled doses of radiation to affected tissue, is considered a precision technique for treating cancer. CEA-List’s DOSEO platform provides various high-performance software tools and equipment to develop solutions for measuring and optimizing the doses delivered to patients and personalizing treatment plans.

Innovative therapies, in particular high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), are about to revolutionize therapeutic treatments. CEA-List’s simulation techniques can enhance these new treatments:

CEA-List is developing solutions to monitor a patient’s physical health remotely and in real time. The objectives are to be able to detect and diagnose any deterioration in a patient’s condition as early as possible and make adjustments to treatment protocols.
To ensure the large-scale adoption of these solutions, we are focusing on using easily accessible measurement technologies that are already widely available. A major challenge for remote patient monitoring is providing reliable, secure, and safe solutions that comply with data privacy laws and new regulations.
CEA-List is developing solutions to leverage the data in patient medical records to monitor patient health remotely after a hospital stay.
The information extracted can make in-home patient monitoring simpler and more reliable and is easier to share with stakeholders within the hospital and, possibly, with the national health insurance administration and the Health Data Hub.

CEA-List is exploring several software tools and hardware devices for personal assistance applications:
Related project: H2020 INSPEX (2017-2019); Cplay (ANR)
Two use cases are being explored at CEA-List:
CEA-List is working on a functional digital twin of hospitals that can be used to organize and optimize internal flows based on real-world constraints.
CEA-List is developing solutions to support better training for healthcare personnel. These include mixed reality surgical training systems that leverage digital content and haptic interfaces to simulate different surgical procedures and force feedback systems to help train physical therapists. These realistic simulation tools can also be used to train future doctors.
