The DATA-SURGE University Hospital Federation (FHU) is hosting its first annual seminar on Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Agora of Hautepierre Hospital (Strasbourg University Hospitals).
A hub for medical innovation
This event offers a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals, researchers, engineers, and innovation leaders to come together to address the critical challenges of leveraging health data. Led by Prof. Éric Noll, the DATA-SURGE project (Data Sciences and e-health for Perioperative Medicine) is emerging as a driving force behind the digital transformation of perioperative medicine.
In a global context where surgical activity is growing significantly, optimizing postoperative recovery has become a top public health priority. This is the challenge that the DATA-SURGE FHU addresses.
DATA-SURGE: A Combination of Leading Expertise
The strength of this university-hospital project lies in an unprecedented interdisciplinary synergy among four centers of expertise:
- Scientific excellence: researchers at the forefront of complex database processing, including the Clinical Research Methods Group (GMRC), the iCube laboratory, and the IMAGeS
- Clinical practice: clinicians well-versed in translational research projects, from the departments of surgery (gastrointestinal, orthopedic, pediatric, gynecological), anesthesiology and intensive care, and diabetology.
- Security and ethics: rigorous compliance with the regulatory framework (GDPR), under the supervision of the HUS Data Protection Officer (DPO).
- The patient’s voice: the central integration of patient experts and user representatives to ensure human-centered innovation.
Toward a Revolution in Perioperative Care
By applying machine learning techniques to vast datasets, DATA-SURGE aims to personalize monitoring, predict complications, and optimize the efficiency of technical facilities. This seminar will highlight pioneering initiatives such as the OPTIMISTE program, which uses patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) as a fundamental source of clinical data.
The project is also part of a robust training initiative, integrating health informatics into the curricula of the University of Strasbourg, Télécom Physique Strasbourg, and the Interdisciplinary Thematic Institute for Information Sciences and Technologies in Health (ITI HealthTech).
Practical Information
The seminar is organized by the Strasbourg University Hospitals, Inserm, and the University of Strasbourg.
