Networking: driving the health revolution?

Summary The integration of digital technologies in the world of health care began several decades ago. It all started with the appearance of new advanced techniques, initially very expensive, to improve diagnosis or certain heavy procedures. The multiplication of these systems, first within healthcare institutions, then among all practitioners and finally among patients, created a new need: that of networking tools . and a new perspective: that of networked people and organizations. Although this notion of networking is often "forgotten" when we talk about the digitalization of health or e-health, it seems to be one of the essential elements that have enabled the development of new technologies and new health organizations. The e-health summer school wishes to develop this key subject between technologies and humanities.
