12:05 – Hacking in the hospital: the war of health data is underway

On 21 August 2022 it will remain in the memory of all the staff of the Corbeil-Essonne hospital: a cyber attack, with a ransom demand, has completely destabilized its computer network. Patients will remember it too, whether they have been able to stay in the facility or have to be relocated. How can hospitals protect themselves from such practices? And how to protect the health data of the patients who visit them? Because our health data can be resold at a high, very high price … The demand today is tormenting everyone’s mind.

With Vincent Templarresponsible for the security of the information system of the CHU and the GHT Est Hérault – Sud Aveyron and the data protection officer of the GHT Est Hérault – Sud Aveyron, and Laurent Wilmann-Courteaudirector of the digital health and data protection division of the university hospital of Montpellier.

11h 45 – Microbiome: how?

“It is an ecosystem, a set of living microorganisms, made up of bacteria, fungi and viruses. This is one million microorganisms per cm2 on your skin. It is of a thousand species, therefore a great diversity that is defined differently depending on where it is found on the skin, we could almost speak of “microbiota” in the plural “, he explains to our audience. Magali Moreauhead of the microbiome laboratories in L’Oréal research.

11h 30 – The skin microbiome, a beneficial shield

Less well known than the microbiota that lines the inside of our intestines, the skin microbiome is also made up of the billions of microorganisms that live on the surface and inside our skin. As far as our digestive system is concerned, this flora represents a strong ally. These bacteria and fungi act as an invisible shield to the naked eye against allergens, pollutants, and other substances that are harmful to the skin’s lining. They are also against the installation of “bad” microbes. As for the intestinal flora, the skin microbiome is formed from birth, it is unique and evolves according to age, sex and lifestyle. And it is recommended to take care of it. Cosmetic specialists have understood this well and take this into account in their research.

We are therefore reaching very high levels, ”he explains Claire Mateinter-ministerial delegate responsible for the implementation of the national strategy for autism.

10h45 – The origins of autism

The abandonment of the psychoanalytic vision, followed by a very early treatment even before the diagnosis was formalized, has allowed real progress to children suffering from neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular of the autism spectrum. This was the focus of the autism plan launched in 2018. As of July 1, 30,000 young people under the age of 7 had been identified as having a neurodevelopmental disorder and treated. At the same time, researchers are mobilizing to try to discover the causes of the problem by participating in the MARIANNE study: 2,300 families, parents and children, will be followed to determine the role of environmental and biological factors. Answer in 10 years.

10:32 – Rare diseases: the importance of cooperation

“We will not be able to structure ourselves if we do not join forces, this is the logic of an extremely close-knit community between care, research and public policies. Faced with the complexity of rare diseases, we need to structure ourselves, it took time. After HIV, we had a structuring of the movement, with patient associations and thanks in particular to Simone Veil who stimulated this reflection “, says Anne-Sophie Lapointeproject manager for rare diseases, Directorate General of Health, French Ministry of Health.

10:00 – Rare diseases and research

A disease is said to be rare when it affects less than one in 2000 births. That’s not much. But due to the large number of existing pathologies, 3 million people are directly affected in France. Many families experience misdiagnosis, lack of care, and daily difficulties. Because alongside the more well-known ones such as cystic fibrosis or myopathies, other diseases affect only a few cases in the world. And there is currently no cure for 95% of these conditions. However, thanks to the intense research activity carried out, knowledge is advancing for these people and sometimes it has positive repercussions for patients suffering from other diseases.
