Ambre Laplaud
Research & Innovation Project Manager, Gérontopôle Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Ambre Laplaud holds a PhD in Health Law and is a Research & Innovation Project Manager at the Gérontopôle Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France). She is an associated researcher at the HAVAE research unit (UR 20217, University of Limoges) and sits on the Scientific and Ethics Committee of the GCS EDS Nova (Limoges University Hospital). Her work lies at the intersection of health law, bioethics and digital health policy, with a focus on the social ethics of digital technology and healthy ageing. A substantial part of her activity consists in supporting digital health innovators — start-ups, research teams and care providers — in addressing the ethical and regulatory dimensions of their projects, from early design to deployment. This includes European and national requirements, ethical assessment, and a "compliance by design" approach developed through her work. She also teaches health data protection and digital health regulation at ILFOMER and 3iL (Limoges) and to Master's students in health and social care management.
