Between dream and reality, digital health is constantly transforming itself and announcing that it will transform health. Reality or future unfulfilled promise? Is e-health the promised oasis or a mirage at the heart of the health system?
This is the question that the 17th edition of the University of e-health summer camp will attempt to answer, live in the city of Castres, on the initiative of Castres-Mazamet Technopole, an innovation support structure for the economic development of the region.
86% of French people say they are in favour of developing e-health and 71% of them say they have already used e-health tools and services.
As a solution to the ageing population, the rise in chronic diseases, difficulties in accessing care, medical deserts and the health crisis, e-health is increasingly presented as THE answer or one of the answers to the challenges facing France and many other countries. Its deployment would make it possible to better support the transformation of health systems in the face of public health issues.
However, e-health is also a mirror that highlights, or even exacerbates, the disparities and flaws in the health system: inequality of access to digital tools, security of sensitive data, ethics, and the legal and regulatory framework.
The theme of this 17th edition of the University of e-Health’s summer camp aims to offer a cross-section of views on this subject, and to present new approaches to disentangle the true from the false and [re]give meaning to digital health.
Every year since 2007, the world of health and innovation meets in Castres-Mazamet for two days of immersion in eHealth. A time for interdisciplinary meetings bringing together groups as diverse as telecommunications operators, patients, big data, funders and regulators, and, of course, healthcare institutions and professionals. The eHealth University celebrated this year, the 16th edition of its summer university !

« For me, the eHealth university is a unique opportunity to interact with a wide range of inspiring participants in an innovative setting at a dynamic technology hub.
Speaking at this event and discussing how best to harness the power of digital technology for healthcare is a vital mission, a duty.
I believe it is important to promote, particularly on social networks, an event like this, which plays an undeniably key role in helping move things forward. »
« In just a few years, the eHealth University has become the leading event in digital health. For two days, Castres Mazamet Technopole brings together all the major influencers, manufacturers, startups, healthcare professionals and regulators who will shape the healthcare of the future. Castres Mazamet Technopole proves, if there was still any doubt, that the region is both forward-looking and at the cutting edge of new developments. »
« The eHealth University is a valuable opportunity for exchange between different fields and perspectives in French and international eHealth developments (political, managerial, operational, entrepreneurial, etc.) It also enables dialogue between the French eHealth ecosystem’s different stakeholders and it is this multidisciplinary aspect that particularly interests me. »
More than 440 videos, from the eHealth cloud to DTx, including telemonitoring of heart failure, eHealth financing in Dubai, connected healthcare objects, and from biological markers to digital markers, as well as the uberization of state healthcare services, trace close to 10 years of the history of eHealth and healthcare until today.
Extend the University of e-health experience through interviews with those who advance digital health. Each episode is an opportunity to review the debates that take place during the University of e-health of Castres-Mazamet, but also to take the pulse of health innovation throughout the year.
In 2021, the University of e-health wanted to be as close as possible to citizens and businesses and for this celebrated its 15th anniversary in the premises of the Tarn Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Castres and at the Municipal Theater of Castres. A relocation that seduced the participants. So see you at the 2022 summer school in the heart of Castres!
