Tablets, smartphones, digital platforms, connected objects with or without Artificial Intelligence (AI) are invading our daily lives and transforming our relationships with others. Having already entered the field of wellness, in recent years we have seen the expectations and hopes raised by these new devices turn towards the field of health. In 2019, the European Parliament passed a resolution on a comprehensive European industrial policy on artificial intelligence and robotics 55, calling for caution in the use of algorithmic processes in the medical field and stressing that “the current system of approval of Digital Medical Devices may not be suitable for AI technologies”. Drawing on the framework of the treatment of sleep apnoea by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), our reflection highlights the fact that the increase in the amount of data, the acceleration of information, the disparity in the attractiveness and skills in IT and AI between the actors involved (doctors and patients), as well as the subjective effects of these changes lead to a redefinition of the doctor-patient relationship and a transformation of medical practice more generally.
