HeKA is a multidisciplinary research team specializing in biomedical informatics, biostatistics, and applied mathematics in digital health. It focuses on the development of learning health systems that leverage multimodal health data (e.g., electronic health records, clinical trials) to improve precision medicine and healthcare quality. HeKA collaborates with leading institutions across Europe to advance digital innovations in healthcare.
The HeKA team from Inria, Inserm, and the University of Paris Cité is recruiting a motivated researcher to join the SMATCH project (Statistical and AI-based Methods for Tackling Challenges in Advanced Clinical Trials for Digital Health), which is part of the Digital Health Program (France 2030). The objective of the SMATCH project is to develop and apply statistical and AI-based methods to accelerate the development of medical interventions (drugs and digital medical devices) during their evaluation in clinical trials.

-
Studying existing requirements for DMDs in different EU countries.
-
Developing a framework and guidelines for evaluating DMDs according to their subtypes.
-
Collaborating with the HAS to validate the findings.
