New York, April 4, 2025 (Newswire.com) –
The French Health Electronic Sector (DSE) sector undergoes a significant transformation, according to the results of the survey published by Black Book Research. The comments of 195 French health IT professionals and clinical operations between TTT-2024 and T1 2025 reveal a national transition to integrated platforms, improved interoperability and compliance with strict data protection regulations.
Market consolidation and interoperability occupy the front of the stage
The French DSE market, traditionally fragmented with regional variations and several suppliers, is now moving towards unified systems aligned with the Shared medical file (DMP) Initiative and larger digital health executives in the European Union. A recent investigation into black books revealed that 80% Respondents identified interoperability as the most critical factor in the selection of future DSE solutions, with HL7 Fir and Openehr emerging as the main technical standards.
The market, valued at $ 778 million in 2022, is expected to grow at an annual growth rate (TCAC) of 3%, reaching $ 986 million by 2030. 77% Participants in the survey reported active or planned assessments of their DSE strategies, highlighting the need for open, evolving architectures and in accordance with standards.
The main suppliers identified in the survey are DEDALUS DXL, DEDALUS Orbis, Oracle Health, Maincare Solutions, Intersystems and AGFA.
IA integration: progress and challenges
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into French health care is progressing cautiously. Among this and clinical decision-makers questioned, 83% expressed interest in incorporating tools fueled by AI in their DSE environments, in particular for support for clinical decision, predictive analysis and patient engagement. However, only 4% Confirmed that real AI pilots or production deployments had started in their organizations.
The main obstacles to AI adoption include data confidentiality problems (91%), complexity of integration (88%), and cost (70%). Despite these challenges, the AI should play a transformative role in the years to come, the first adopters focusing on predictive analysis, assistance to clinical decision and automation of administrative workflows.
IT initiatives of national health and regulatory compliance
National IT health initiatives considerably shape digital strategies across France. The restructured DMP, relaunched in 2024, remains a central objective, with government objectives for the generalized registration of patients by the end of 2025. However, the active use rates remain modest. 90% Respondents have indicated that the alignment of the DMP and the technical preparation are an integral part of their 2025 roadmaps.
In addition, 97% Participants in the survey said that the RGPD’s conformity considerably influences the system’s selection and architecture decisions. Furthermore, 33% Actively monitors the EU AI Act, anticipating moderate operational impacts high on their AI and analysis strategies over the next two years.
Digital health investments accelerate
THE My health 2022 Plan, reinforced by substantial government funding, has accelerated digital investments in the health care landscape. Hospital leaders have cited clinical documentation systems, prescription workflows, digital imaging solutions and patient portals as priority for modernization. The financing of this initiative accelerated decisions aimed at modernizing inherited DSEs, partitioned systems and adopting interoperable modules that support the objectives of coordination of national care.
Future perspectives: Interoperability and ready platforms
In 2026, the most frequently cited digital health priorities include the upgrading or consolidation of DSE platforms, improving integration between hospital and ambulatory systems, strengthening cybersecurity measures and alignment of DMP internal platforms and DMP and EU digital strategy managers. Interoperability remains a cornerstone, with 92% Respondents noting semantic interoperability and modular architecture as “very important” or “critical” in the selection of future DSE solutions.
“France makes significant progress to prioritize interoperability and architectures of modular DSE, aligning EU policies to build an ecosystem of health care capable of taking advantage of advanced technologies such as AI for transparent care and centered on the patient”, “ Said Doug Brown, founder of Black Book.
