  • #3 - Transformer un système de santé en profondeur : l'aventure Lifen
    2026/02/18

    Dans la santé, innover, c'est avoir la capacité et surtout la volonté d'accompagner tout un écosystème vers le changement.


    L’aventure ne commence pas à l’étude de marché, ni une fois la technologie développée… ni même au premier investisseur. Elle commence lorsqu'on parvient à rallier les acteurs clés autour d’une cause suffisamment essentielle pour mériter leur attention. C’est seulement alors qu’on peut commencer à parler de réussite.


    C’est ce qu’ont su faire Franck Le Ouay et ses équipes chez Lifen, qui accompagnent la digitalisation du système de santé français depuis 10 ans… Qui a dit marathon 👀 ?


    Alors arrêtez de sprinter, et rejoignez-nous le temps d'un épisode !


    On parle de :

    • Choisir le premier cas d'usage: entre potentiel d'impact et faisabilité

    • Libérer la donnée de santé

    • Le juste rôle de l'Etat

    • Allier impact social et viabilité financière


    Barrières à l'adoption abordées :

    • Savoir choisir un cas d'usage à impact

    • La dette technique de l'Hôpital

    • Le coût cognitif à l'adoption

    • La mouvance des politiques de santé


    Pour les curieux :

    • Lifen

    • Resilience Care

    • Nabla

  • #1 - Back to basics: how clinicians & institutions approach innovation
    2026/01/21

    What do those engaged in care delivery expect from innovation ? What kind of innovation do they adopt? What role should they play in the innovation process? How can we innovate closest to real needs? Where do we even start?


    In this episode, Florian Rossiaud-Fischer (Director within the Swiss Medical Network, former Chief Innovation Officer at Hôpital de la Tour) gives us a behind-the-scenes perspective of clinicians' and healthcare executives' day-to-day, and how they perceive innovation in it.


    Together, we explore:

    • Best practices for innovators

    • The difference between the public and private sectors' freedom to adopt innovation

    • A rare perspective: innovating in the way our healthcare systems function to increase resilience and efficiency, with the example of the Swiss Medical Network's Viva Health initiative for integrated care

    • Value-based healthcare, and why it can be a guiding star to develop innovation that matters


    Barriers to adoption we tried to solve

    • The disconnect between innovation & care delivery

    • Innovators' common mistake: bitting more than you can chew

    • How healthcare systems' complexity hinders adoption

    • Innovations having to meet the expectations of a large variety of stakeholders

    • How the public sector's obligation to "serve all" can slow down innovation adoption

    • ... more in the episode


    For the curious ones

    • Value-based care (basics)

    • ICHOM (International Consortium for Health Outcome Measurement)

    • The Swiss Medical Network

    • Viva Health

    • The Genolier Innovation Hub

  • #0 - Introduction 🇬🇧
    2026/01/11

    ☀️ Welcome to Synapse !


    Are you passionate about healthcare innovation? Building it? Advocating for its real-world adoption? Your new favorite podcast is here.


    This intro episode takes you at the heart of Synapse's mission: reconnecting innovation with our healthcare systems… synapse after synapse.


    Despite the excitement around healthcare innovation, many barriers (systemic, operational, financial, regulatory, societal) still stand in the way of real-world adoption.


    Synapse is built on the belief that a deep understanding of these barriers, of the complexity of healthcare systems, and of the realities of care delivery, is one of the most powerful tools to turn innovation into real adoption.

    These are the barriers we explore alongside key players in health innovation (innovators, healthcare professionals, public decision-makers... ).

    Healthcare innovation has a role to play in addressing our societies’ challenges. To do so, it must be relevant by solving concrete needs, and responsible by making the best use of our human, financial, and technological resources.
