The BOPA (Bloc Opératoire Augmenté) Innovation Chair (fr) is a project created by the AP-HP and the Institut Mines-Télécom to measure and help improve surgeons' practices. The chair, based at Paul Brousse Hospital, involves anesthetists, surgeons, IBODEs (operating room nurses) and IADEs (state-qualified nurse anesthetists).

The originality of the partnership lies in the wide variety of professions and disciplines involved in innovation: researchers, startups, students and clinicians.

For startups, it's an incredible gas pedal, with access to practitioners, business expertise and data, essential for their projects.

For Telecom SudParis students, specially in the Health pathway, it's an opportunity to benefit from a dense e-health ecosystem, to consider the user right from the design stage of the technological solution, and to take ownership of the technological challenges.
