Last year, the French public investment bank Bpifrance launched a EUR 50 million “patient autonomy fund” (Fond Patient Autonome) to invest in start-ups devoted to health information technology. Bpifrance is now developing a structured partnership with the National Health Insurance Fund to better target projects to enhance patient autonomy with digital health technologies. The Fund will support all project phases, from inception to marketing assessment to national and international development.
