To help traditional health systems to evolve, Orange has been working for the past 10 years to pave the way for new solutions in the e-health field, thanks to the strong level of innovation within its teams.

remote data collection
In the future, it will be possible to collect patient health data remotely and make it available to the relevant people thanks to the standardization work accomplished by the Continua alliance, a consortium of businesses whose mission is to promote the collection of health data. This international project, which Orange is involved in, is already making it possible to envisage a wide range of e-health services.
