The number of digital technology uses in the health sector is multiplying. We seek to modernise operating theatres, facilitate medication, and shorten hospitalisation periods to relieve the burden on healthcare centres without harming the patients. Patients are monitored remotely and assisted during recovery, as digital technology allows health professionals to collect data on the patients’ medical condition.
This wireless connected patch was developed for hospitals in order to monitor patients from their homes. The patient wears it directly on his or her skin. Vital signs such as heart-rate, respiration, and temperature are measured every two minutes and sent to the hospital by internet, allowing patient monitoring after clinical or chirurgical interventions.
My Hospi Friends This app allows patients to meet other people in the same healthcare centre. It complements the entertainment offered by the centre in order to improve the well-being of the patients, who can talk to each other, create ties and take a break from discussing their pathological condition, which is too often the prevailing theme during patient recovery.
Today, the rise of 3D printing, particularly of the new materials that can be used, allows us to create copies of a patient’s organs in order to identify anomalies more easily when scanners are not enough. In the United States, thanks to this technology, a new-born baby with a heart condition was diagnosed and treated.

Smiile is a way of pooling resources and neighbourhood networks on the scale of an apartment block, a neighbourhood or even a city. The solution is one of the services proposed in the WIZOM Réhabilitation 2018 offer by Bouygues Construction. It is a great example of the Group's collaboration with a ‘French tech’ start-up.
A first for France. In September, social housing in Nantes will be built using an industrial 3D printer.

Nuisance control for a better acceptance of construction projects Presentation of the solution with Laurent Mareuge, CEO - Founder of Com’in
The aerial cable link between the two banks of the Penfeld River in Brest, a design-construction project for Brest Métropole Océane by a consortium that includes Bouygues Bâtiment Grand Ouest, is symbolic for the city of Brest and a first in France. It links the city centre with the new Les Capucins district, which is […]
With the increase in the circular economy and the arrival of the next Environmental Regulation (RE 2020), many solutions are being considered to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. The heat produced by data centres could, according to some, be a solution. Here is why.
This 5,400 metre-long sea viaduct, which will connect Saint-Denis (the capital of Reunion Island) to La Grande Chaloupe, is a major component of the New Coastal Road. The aim is to replace the current road along the coast between Saint-Denis and La Possession, which is dangerously exposed to the risk of rock falls and submersion […]
Whether you call it a smart city, a connected city or, even better, a smart region, digitalisation is primarily all about improving and offering new services to citizens and then to the persons behind local policies in order to allow them to run the city more effectively.
With the support of Hauts-de-France Regional Council and Métropole Européenne de Lille, Bouygues Construction and Centrale Lille school are launching Construction Chair 4.0 to manage the sector’s digital transition and improve productivity through digital methods and industrialisation.
