Summary
Sébastien Letélié is a founder and digital health innovator with 12+ years of experience building and scaling healthcare software, previously serving as CTO and product owner of Improve Santé where his ED-focused EMR reached over 100 hospitals and was acquired. He now leads Health Factory, combining lean startup and customer-development methods to help pharma, hospitals and insurers find product/market fit and new business models, while organizing Hacking Health Camp—the world’s largest health hackathon. A hands-on developer and speaker with a PhD in Computer Science, he blends deep technical skills (integration standards like HL7/IHE, web and mobile stacks) with practical lessons from product, sales and operations. He co-founded wellness startup VIVAE and runs IT AWARE to advise and invest in early-stage innovation, bringing both strategic vision and executional coding rigor. Less obvious: he applies pretotyping and TDD-driven engineering to commercial strategy, believing close, long-term user engagement is the fastest path to defensible health products. Based in Strasbourg, he pairs academic training with entrepreneurial grit to bridge clinicians, technologists and business stakeholders.
