CEReSS conducts research in the fields of public health, health services and the human and social sciences, with a particular focus on patient quality of life and its determinants.
CEReSS has prioritized 4 research themes:
- Mother and child health
- Oncology
- Neuropsychiatry, Precariousness
- Resuscitation, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia
Focus on AI/healthcare research teams
The Center for Studies and Research on Health Services and Quality of Life (CEReSS) integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into its Health Services Research (HSR), with the aim of transforming healthcare organizations.
CEReSS relies on a rich ecosystem of data, combining the Health Data National System (SNDS) with cohorts and health data warehouses (EDS) that it coordinates.
Resources available to researchers include
- FranceCoag: EDS on haemorrhagic diseases.
- LEA: National cohort on childhood and adolescent hematological malignancies.
- Polyrene: French community network and national cohort on polyhandicap.
- MonPsy&Moi: French digital platform dedicated to collecting the experiences of people suffering from mental disorders.
These resources enable us to carry out epidemiological research, gain a better understanding of health disparities and consider ways of optimizing care pathways. By integrating AI into our work, we aim to contribute to improving the efficiency and equity of the healthcare system.
Among CEReSS's AI themes, several areas are being explored:
- User-centered AI: Developing solutions to support clinical decisions by integrating patients' perspectives on their health status and experiences (PROMs-IA and PREMs-IA). This work is part of projects such as PEPR PROPSY with the T4-MINDS study, THCS Horizon Europe EU-MIND and F-PSYNET.
- AI and clinical applications : Collaboration with healthcare professionals in various fields (intensive care medicine, pharmacy, obstetrics, oncology, etc.) to design AI algorithms aimed at improving diagnosis, safety and quality of care.
- AI and precariousness: Analysis of the social determinants of health using tools such as automatic natural language processing (NLP) to better identify and respond to the needs of vulnerable populations.
To promote the transfer of knowledge and the development of concrete solutions adapted to the needs of populations, CEReSS has established collaborations with associations and start-ups, and participates in strategic networks such as Eurobiomed.
