French Medical Informatics Association (AIM)

Created in 1968, the French Association for the applications of medical informatics, “Association pour les Applications de l’Informatique en Médecine”, or AIM, is a scholarly society, mainly composed of researchers and university teachers. The association is the official representative of France within the IMIA and EFMI boards. Its approximately 500 members are working for a better integration of information technology in the health care system to improve quality of care and patient management. AIM’s goals are the following:

  • To promote computer applications, scientific researches and their corresponding technical developments within the healthcare system.
  • To introduce these computer applications to healthcare professionals, interested administrations and concerned industrial actors.
  • To simplify exchanges between healthcare professionals (physicians, biologists, administrators, nurses, researchers), and scientists specialized in computer science, as well as research organizations and concerned associations’ representatives or agencies.
  • To contribute to healthcare professionals’, researchers’ and engineers’ education to medical informatics.
  • To collaborate with groups and scientific associations sharing synergetic goals.
  • To participate to the professional thinking that should precede or give rise to the update of official texts that regulate the automatic processing of medical data.
