    AbstractThe challenge of digital technologies in healthcare. Digital technologies are just starting to find their place into healthcare systems. However, their potential seems huge. The need for a better cost control, for therapeutic innovation and the generalized connectivity appear to be the three main driving factors. Digital companies invent applications for mobile phone, software and services that aim to enable physician practices, to substitute to medical advice and to reduce the need for hospitalizations through better management and prevention. There are still weaknesses, hurdles and uncertainties yet it is likely that the medical community will benefit from digital deployment in the long run. To make it happen, we will need to involve ourselves into the conception of digital solutions and to contribute to the needed changes regarding our business models.
