Engineering at the heart of the healthcare revolution
Three questions for David Eglin, head of Carings, a multidisciplinary research project
What are the major challenges currently facing France's healthcare sector ?
France's healthcare system is facing major challenges, such as environmental issues, digital transformation and an increasingly patient-centric approach to medical care. Against a backdrop of ecological transition and the emergence of new technologies related to the industry of the future, there is a crucial need for the healthcare sector to gain a comprehensive understanding of the technology value chain as well as the associated innovative methodologies.
What novel solutions does Carnot M.I.N.E.S propose to provide to meet these challenges?
Engineering is at the heart of the healthcare revolution, whether through the development of medical devices, new technologies for the pharmaceutical industry or the digital transformation of the healthcare industry. The Carnot M.I.N.E.S schools have recognised expertise in these fields and it complements that of top healthcare research institutes. Our approach to defining and addressing technological challenges and methodological needs is multidisciplinary and focuses on three main lines of research: new materials and processes in healthcare, digital healthcare technologies and environment and health.
What do players in the healthcare industry and Carnot M.I.N.E.S' researchers expect from this project ?
Our goal is to provide new solutions to the challenges faced by the sector's various players, such as new materials for biomedical applications, innovative AI-based diagnostic tools, connected devices and new drug formulation processes.
