#43 – Rethinking medical prescriptions to save lives – Emmanuel Bilbault – Posos
According to the WHO, unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of avoidable harm in health systems across the globe.
In the European Union alone, this translates to nearly 200,000 deaths annually.
The magnitude of this problem has led to global initiatives such as "Medication Without Harm," launched in 2017, aiming to reduce medical errors by 50% over five years.
Although there is a need for more data on the results of this initiative, we are far from having reached the goal.
The key lies in our ability to access medical information, specifically related to prescriptions.
Direct access to reliable information, accounting for individual patient characteristics, and able to fit with the tools used by healthcare professionals.
A next-generation medical database, incorporating all known information about medications in structured and interoperable bricks capable of supporting caregivers in safer and more effective prescribing practices.
It turns out this database exists and has been developed by Pharmacist Emmanuel Bilbault and his team at Posos!
Approved less than a year ago by French health authorities, it offers a new perspective on how to approach medical prescriptions in the era of AI and digital health.
A way to give back time to every healthcare professional and ensure an unprecedented level of care quality for patients.
We talked with Emmanuel about the creation of this new tool - used today by more than 85,000 healthcare professionals in Europe - and what it changes in our fight against medical errors.
Timeline:
00:00:00 - Introduction
00:02:56 - What pushed Emmanuel to quit the Pharma industry and found Posos
00:11:11 - The first multilingual, structured, and encoded drug database to streamline medical prescribing
00:16:31 - How Posos is leveraging AI to supercharge its platform
00:22:54 - Keeping the drug database up to date across geographies
00:24:37 - The impact Posos has on healthcare professionals, patients, and health systems
00:29:59 - Toward providing patient access to Posos’ drug database
00:32:40 - Lessons learned from scaling Posos in France and abroad
00:40:47 - Emmanuel’s view on the current healthcare transformation
What we also talked about with Emmanuel:
Teva Pharmaceuticals
IBM’s Watson Health
Electronic Health Records
SNOMED CT
ICD-10-CM
ATC
MedDRA
Named Entity Recognition
Optical Character Recognition
Word Embedding
Machine Learning
Pharmagest
Ambient AI
Nabla
We cited with Emmanuel some of the past episodes of the series:
#1 - Measuring your arterial age to prevent heart diseases - Ted Baldwin - Imageens
As mentioned by Emmanuel during the episode, we recommend taking a look at this page to learn more about the SNOMED CT clinical terminology, as the most comprehensive, multilingual clinical healthcare terminology in the world.
You can follow Posos’ activities on LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, and get in touch with Emmanuel via LinkedIn!

120: AI in Play | Big Picture, Big Questions
AI is everywhere! From delivering the tacos you crave to the car you drive to the clinical trial you might need -- it's reshaping our world and our work. AI-based technologies are helping solve complex problems in nearly every discipline, industry, and human endeavor. And in healthcare, artificial intelligence is a game-changer. AI-based technologies do many things faster and better than humans can alone, with the promise of so much more ahead. And with that, comes a lot of questions, possibilities and well-founded concerns. In this first episode – of many to come exploring AI’s role in transforming healthcare – we’re starting with the basics and the big picture: What is artificial intelligence? How can we ensure AI is safe, equitable, and beneficial for all? How should healthcare professionals think about and integrate AI into clinical settings? We reached out to veteran researcher and leading expert in computer science, machine learning, and AI, Peter Stone PhD, and nurse attorney and bioethicist Liz Stokes JD, MA, RN to explore these questions and dive into ANA’s position statement ‘The Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice,’ as well as McKinsey & Company’s report ‘The pulse of nurses’ perspectives on AI in healthcare delivery.’ Together, they explore the transformative potential of AI in healthcare and how to ensure it serves everyone safely and equitably.
