Integrated Health: Building a Franco-Indian Vision for AI and Healthcare
The Integrated Health consortium, jointly led by Sorbonne Université and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, brings together leading French and Indian institutions — including AIIMS, NII, SRM University, the Institut du Cerveau, the Institut de la Vision, SCAI, IPLESP, CURAMUS, and FHU MAMUTH — to develop a shared and integrated approach to health. Anchored in a strong interdisciplinary tradition that connects medicine, science, engineering, and the humanities, this collaboration seeks to create an Indo-French Centre for Research on Integrated Health and Artificial Intelligence, fostering excellence in education, research, and innovation.
By combining Sorbonne Université’s vast clinical and technological ecosystem — with its hospitals, research institutes and AI expertise — and IIT Delhi’s scientific and engineering strengths, the consortium promotes a comprehensive vision of health where artificial intelligence serves diagnosis, therapy, and public health. Projects already underway address early disease detection, personalised medicine, and data-driven healthcare innovation.
The “Indo-French Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare, and the Way Forward for India and France” initiative continues this dynamic partnership, marking a new milestone in the construction of a joint Franco-Indian research and innovation platform in health.
Funded by the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR/CEFIPRA) and supported by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi (AIIMS), Paris Brain Institute (ICM), and the Integrated Health programme, Sorbonne Université, and Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi (IITD).
Objective:
The aim of this workshop is to unite researchers, clinicians, and early- career scientists from India and France to discuss advancements in digital health, Al, and medical sciences, fostering collaborations and building a strong Indo-French research ecosystem.
Key Highlights:
• Mapping cohorts in multiple diseases to develop large-scale bilateral projects.
• Sharing expertise to strengthen Indo-French research visibility.
• Encouraging young researchers, especially from underrepresented backgrounds.
• Poster sessions and lightning talks for students and researchers to present innovative work.
• Connecting institutions from across India and France.
• Advancing translational approaches to create a vibrant research and entrepreneurial environment.
