The development of Information and Communication Technology in the field of health is a high-stakes topic and an opportunity for the industry, both at national and European levels. In order to make France a world leader in the field of eHealth, determination and cooperation among public and private actors are a necessity, according to the database's introductory statement.
The national ehealth database is seen as a tool to pursue such goals. Updated regularly and promoted within the website of ASIP Santé - www.esante.gouv.fr, the database will provide a window to ehealth as well as to its public and private actors by presenting solutions and their potential use, from the perspectives of both research and concrete applications/achievements.
The main steps for the database are:
- Since September 2010 the database has been under the 'listing phase': companies and ordering parties can list themselves in the database by simply accepting its rules of use.
- Beginning of 2011, opening of the consultation, i.e. that all web surfers will be able to visit the database without restrictions.
The partners of ASIP Santé consist of six representative bodies for France's ehealth industry.
