The innovative app helping to fight diabetes
In collaboration with Diabetes League, Axians Belgium developed Zoet Zwanger, a digital tool designed to follow-up women with gestational diabetes after pregnancy.
Pregnancy subjects the body to blood sugar fluctuations, which can contribute to the onset of diabetes. This temporary condition, known as gestational diabetes, can occur in women who are not diabetic or reveal diabetes that had previously gone unnoticed. After giving birth, the diabetes disappears but these women have a higher risk to develop type 2 diabetes.
Zoet Zwanger now monitors more than 24,000 women.
Gestational diabetes affects around 4,000 women a year in Flanders. In November 2022, Diabetes League, a Belgian non-profit patient organisation for diabetes prevention and support, awarded Axians, the VINCI Energies ICT brand, the contract to design, create and manage an innovative tool to early detect and prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
A major project delivered right on time – success at Charleroi Hospital
Construction of the new site for the Grand Hôpital de Charleroi in Belgium is one of those rare hospital projects to have been completed on schedule. Cegelec Belgium takes the credit for several technical batches on this large-scale project.
Requiring four years of works, this is one of the largest hospitals built in Wallonia in the past 20 years. With total floor area of 154,000 sq. metres, the complex combines five sites, 960 beds and 27 operating theatres. No hospital project had previously met such tight deadlines while managing to incorporate the modifications and constraints inherent in a project of this nature, arising from things such as regulations, materials costs, stakeholder input or customer requests.

No sovereignty in health without process automation
The relocation of pharmaceutical production in France requires advanced automation to guarantee competitiveness and quality. Lionel Kaddah highlights simultaneous engineering, which can reduce time-to-market by up to 40%, and retrofitting, which offers savings and environmental benefits by modernising existing equipment.
Designing a human-centric solution significantly improves take-up
In 2021, the VINCI Energies ICT brand, Axians, launched the development of a solution for sensor-based remote monitoring of a range of parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature.
The aim is to more effectively track changes in patients with chronic heart and lung problems, and those affected by COVID‑19, and anticipate any worsening of their condition.
The solution, which started out as an MVP [minimum viable product] and was developed using agile methodology, is already being used by patients and doctors in several hospitals.
