## Execution Dossier — Stages 1 to 3 — Clinical Co-Design, Health Hackathons & Incubation (2 days to 3 months)
### Target B2B Actors
- **Hospitals & Clinics** (`?acteur=hopitaux-cliniques`) : Streamline patient-caregiver workflows, reduce administrative burden, and structure hospital living-lab experimentation.
- **Health Insurers & Mutuals** (`?acteur=assureurs`) : Design prevention and care-support programs with measurable health-economic ROI and high member engagement.
- **Big Pharma** (`?acteur=big-pharma`) : Move beyond molecule-only models to deploy "Beyond the Pill" care pathways adopted by clinicians and patients.
- **Healthcare Professionals** (`?acteur=professionnels-sante`) : Translate frontline clinical expertise into validated digital protocols or devices without adding clinical burden.

### Concrete Phase Deliverables
- Phase 1 — Challenge Framing & Ecosystem Mobilization: Sourcing of priority clinical challenges and assembly of multidisciplinary teams.
- Phase 2 — Clinical Co-Design Sprint / Innovation Marathon: Intensive clinical-technical prototyping and jury evaluation by medical and executive leaders.
- Phase 3 — Post-Event Incubation & Pilot Launch: 90-day acceleration track converting winning prototypes into live hospital pilots.

### Go / No-Go Stage-Gate Criteria
- Medical board challenge validation and expert mentor commitment.
- Selection of winning projects based on patient impact, HIS feasibility, and viability.
- Operational launch of the clinical pilot at a partner care facility.

### Verified Partner Proofs
- **ANAP (Performance en Santé)** (Hospital & Care Performance Agency) : Organizational transformation of care facilities and field best-practice dissemination.
- **Viatris & Humanis / Allianz** (Health Prevention & Protection Providers) : Design and facilitation of prevention innovation and patient care pathways.
- **Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg (HUS)** (University Hospital & Clinical Immersion Site) : In-ward clinical immersions and direct co-design with frontline hospital care teams.
- **Université de Strasbourg (Unistra)** (Academic Research & Medical Education) : Methodological validation bridging academic research, medical faculty, and entrepreneurship.

### Regulatory & Interoperability Checkpoints
- **RGPD / CNIL Santé** (Healthcare GDPR & CNIL Reference Methodologies (MR-001 / MR-004)) : DPIA pre-framing, processing registry, and patient consent workflow specification.
- **Doctrine ANS / CI-SIS** (ANS National Doctrine: Mon Espace Santé, CI-SIS, ProSanté Connect & MSSanté) : ANS Convergence compliance matrix and national teleservice integration roadmap.

### HACKING HEALTH CAMP: 4 DAYS TO INVENT THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE
*Europe’s largest international health innovation gathering, held annually in Strasbourg*

Co-organized by the Health Factory team, Hacking Health Camp is a 4-day international event dedicated to breaking down barriers in healthcare innovation.

Each year it brings together 800+ healthcare professionals, patients, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and executives around a comprehensive program:

- Inspiring keynotes and real-world case studies from international speakers.
- Hands-on workshops and masterclasses (Design Thinking, AI in healthcare, regulation, pitching).
- An Innovation Showroom to experience cutting-edge digital health technologies.
- A 54-hour Health Hackathon: 60 challenges pitched, ~30 multidisciplinary teams formed, and ~30 working prototypes demonstrated live.
### DIGITAL HEALTH CHALLENGES (12 TO 18 MONTHS)
*A shared end-to-end open innovation program for committed healthcare leaders*

To go beyond one-off events, Health Factory runs 12-to-18-month collaborative programs addressing major public health and industry challenges.

Partners (hospitals, pharma, MedTech, insurers, public agencies) pool resources, cross-pollinate expertise, and guide projects from initial need discovery all the way to field experimentation.
### “TELL ME WHERE IT HURTS, I’LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE”
*Optimizing care pathways, early diagnosis, and hospital-to-home coordination*

How can we streamline patient intake and triage, reduce clinician administrative burden, improve diagnostic accuracy, and create seamless continuity between hospital and outpatient care?
### “ONE DAY YOU WILL BE OLD TOO”
*Reinventing healthy aging, home care, and caregiver support*

In the face of demographic aging, how do we design digital and human solutions that preserve senior dignity, prevent falls and isolation, and support family and professional caregivers?
### “(RE)INSURE ME”
*Shifting from passive risk reimbursement to personalized preventive coaching*

How can health insurers leverage connected devices, data analytics, and behavioral science to empower primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention?
### “BEYOND THE PILL”
*Supporting chronic patients in their daily lives and improving therapeutic adherence*

How do we pair therapeutics and medical devices with high-value digital services—patient education, remote monitoring, peer communities, and real-world outcome tracking?
