Call for Projects: Adoption of Innovations (France)

The Agence du Numérique en Santé (ANS), in collaboration with the Direction Générale de la Recherche, de l’Innovation et du Numérique en Santé (DGRINES), has launched a new call for projects titled “Adoption des Innovations.” This initiative aims to co-finance user studies to facilitate the early adoption of innovative digital solutions in the medico-social sector. Applications are open until 30 October 2026. The “Adoption des Innovations” call for projects seeks to support studies focusing on the adoption and usability of digital solutions within the medico-social sector. The initiative is inspired by the previous “Structures 3.0” program and aligns with the ANS’s 2026-2028 Objectives and Performance Contract, emphasizing the integration of digital solutions in healthcare. The funding is aimed at three possible components, which can be combined: Eligible applicants are expert entities in user studies, either based within or closely associated with healthcare structures, such as digital health experimentation centers or living labs. The opportunity supports innovative digital solutions in the social and medico-social sector, with a particular interest in solutions incorporating artificial intelligence. This call for projects is crucial for overcoming common obstacles such as cultural resistance, lack of interoperability, and financial barriers that often hinder the adoption of technologically advanced solutions. By analyzing the feasibility of innovations through rigorous methodologies, the program aims to ensure that digital solutions are effectively adopted and utilized within the healthcare sector.
