Mutuelles AXA’s Health Sponsorship Program

Boosting innovation in research, prevention, health education, patient care, and training excellence

 

Aging UP! received funding as a result of the first call for proposals for Mutuelle AXA’s health program in 2022.

Since July 2022, AXA France has been engaged in an ambitious nationwide scientific sponsorship program, financed by its mutual insurance subsidiaries (Les Mutuelles). The launch of this Health Sponsorship Program forms part of an ambitious and impactful initiative designed to boost innovation in research, treatment, prevention, health education, and improvements to patient care.

With a budget of 45 million euros distributed over 3 years, this scientific program aims to deliver significant advances in healthcare for both young people and older adults (such as those facing loss of independence or neurodegenerative disease) and to provide exceptional training programs for young scientists.

Through this support, delivered to French institutions over several years, Mutuelles AXA is contributing toward innovation in research, prevention, health education, patient care, and training excellence.

Following a first call for proposals in 2022, which led to the support of 21 health projects in France, Mutuelles AXA has continued its commitment to the Health Sponsorship Program. In February 2023, Mutuelles AXA launched a second call for proposals, which led to the support of 13 projects for a total of 34 research projects carried out throughout France.

The Aging UP! research consortium would like to extend its warmest thanks to Mutuelles AXA.

@Hôtel-Dieu Platform Project

Reinventing hospital patient care through digital technology and artificial intelligence


The @Hôtel-Dieu Platform Project, winner of the France 2030 digital health acceleration strategy, benefits from €17 million in funding from Bpifrance. This ambitious project brings together five innovative companies (Lifen, Nouveal, Withings, Implicity and Nabla), Paris Cité University and AP-HP, Europe’s leading university hospital.
Anchored at the Hôtel-Dieu, France’s first hospital, the project aims to create a universal platform for remote patient monitoring, radically transforming hospital care methods. This initiative builds on the recognized expertise of the partners and the extensive medical network of AP-HP’s 38 university hospitals.
The consortium is developing a secure interoperability platform enabling the industrialization of application deployment in hospitals. At the heart of the system, a unified administration base orchestrates patient monitoring, while innovative connected medical devices undergo rigorous clinical validation. Specialized solutions for cardiology and gynecology follow-up complete this comprehensive approach.
The project addresses major challenges in transforming the healthcare system by optimizing care pathways and the efficiency of medical practices. It improves working conditions for healthcare professionals while strengthening patient involvement in their care.
The @Hôtel-Dieu Platform project thus constitutes a structural response to the challenges facing our healthcare system, combining technological innovation, medical excellence and concrete improvement in patient care.
