The arrival of digital technology in our daily lives has also transformed
the practice of medicine, both in clinical research
and in the care and support of patients.
We now talk about e-health, digital health, or digital technology for health… terms that encompass all applications of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the service of health.
Defined as a strategic focus for Atlanpole Biotherapies, e-health covers various activities: telemedicine, connected medical devices, mHealth, chatbots, digital therapeutic education, digital therapies, the digitization of businesses and hospitals, health data, cybersecurity...
The benefits for users are multiple, whether on the patient side or the healthcare professionals/structures side:
- A reduced drug/vaccine development timeline thanks to optimized data management.
- A better patient/doctor relationship, more personalized, with new support through digital therapeutic education (e-ETP).
- A patient-centered journey, through the hospital of the future that will focus more on prevention, rehabilitation, and re-education.
