PECAN, the new DiGa-like pathway in France. Passed

Wednesday May 24, 2023 15:55 - 16:10 F5

Lecturer: Ouassim NAIET EL GAIED

Track: Eng - Reimbursement and market access for digital solutions

France has a long history of testing different programs to include innovation and digital health in the healthcare system.


Inspired by the German DiGA solution and the fast-track pathway for regular medical devices (PECT), they are in the process to introduce a pathway for conditional reimbursement (PECAN) while the missing evidence is generated. This new pathway will be available in 2023.


The scope of this is either:

  • Remote monitoring solutions;
  • Digital therapeutic (DTx).


The criteria to be eligible for this pathway are:

  • Potential of a meaningful clinical benefit;
  • Ability to close the evidence gap during the period of conditional reimbursement.


The reimbursement will cover a 12-months period and is conditioned by a permanent reimbursement dossier submission within 6 months of the start of the PECAN for digital therapeutic (DTx) and within 9 months for remote monitoring solutions.


During this presentation, we explain the key takeaways and how to optimize your chances to gain this new golden pathway. We will also share with you our feedback on innovative medical devices assessment and pricing.
