Various inputs to achieve the same goal: to accompany changes at great speed of new digital technologies. Outside Paris and Rouen, Eure does not intend to miss the train of this revolution carrier jobs. Training, sensitization, information initiatives abound and cater to as many
The bus technology
Example side Bernay, where the high-tech hits the road. The Digitaliz’Eure association, chaired by Basil Bohard, also president and founder of the start-up Neo Digital, specializing in new technologies, recently unveiled its Bus technology.
Inside vehicle recovered from the network of ébroïcienne agglomeration and renovated, there are computers, touch tables, scanners, glasses and 3D printers, augmented and virtual reality applications, among other connected devices.
‘ We’re working on for a year, says Basile Bohard. The idea came in 2014 at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas [largest high-tech world event, which Neo Digital participated in 2015 and 2016, Editor's note] . We realized it needed a mobile tool in our rural sector, to bring new technologies to the general public, businesses, communities and schools. “
Present the interest of big data, use virtual reality models for viewing or gaming applications offer the general public are among the tasks of the bus. Visitors will experience thanks to a digital mediator, the possible uses of these technologies in various fields: education, industry, health, building, services, design, social, leisure …
Modular, bus will evolve constantly to be on top of technology. A scale project, ‘ a cost of 1 M € over three years , funded by public and private ‘, which has a price. It costs € 2,500 to enjoy the bus for a day. A dozen people can meet, at the same time on the bus. Basile Bohard hopes his mobile tool rapidly traverse the Norman roads or French.

Fifteen future coders began training
Fifteen jobseekers started a Web developer coder training in Evreux. It is available until June 27 by Pôle emploi and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) Gates of Normandie, in association with the Grand Evreux agglomeration, Societe Generale and ERDF.
Getting up by CCI Training Eure and Webforce 3 (Paris), this session is entirely financed by the employment center. If beginners were accepted, recruitment has still been selective. Of 73 candidates, only 15 were selected, including two women.
10 % theory,
90 % practice
During 75 days (525 hours), this intensive mixes 10% theory and 90% practice. Rigor, autonomy, adaptability, teamwork, mobility, and of course, appetite for computers, are required.
Developer coder training had already been established in Louviers, from October to February. The experiment was a success: 10 of 15 people have already found jobs. In this regard, the town was awarded the Great School of the digital label.
Transport Minister was speaking at the opening ceremony of the conference cycle on “Information Systems College of the Ministry of Transport”.
According Augusto Tomas, he need to develop exports through the new information technologies, because they grow globally.
“There are several years the Department of Transportation has a platform centralized computer, which are stored in the sector of public enterprises management provided with the necessary synergies to facilitate the sharing of information between them, “the minister said.
in this platform, said Minister of Transport, it is possible to store and prepare all the human resources, technical and financial Ministry, aimed at analyzing the company and the aggregate in the areas of land-based activities, maritime / port , air and rail.
for this purpose, said Augusto Tomas, with new platforms of information technology, companies of the Ministry of Transport have now updated their accounts and statistics.
This, he concluded, will enable the connection between business and improve business through fast internet and allow rapid economic and sustainable growth in due course.

BIOLOGICAL CLOCK. How long should we sleep? What time should I lie? There is in fact no common answer to all. Each has its own “chronotype” genetically programmed, that is to say the position of sleep in 24 hours. You have to know the if you will take good sleep habits and recover well. In 1986, researchers Jim Horne and Ostberg Olov established questionnaire that establishes this chronotype in twenty questions. You will know if you are early (bed early / early bird) or simply extreme, Vesper (Night Owl / late risers) single or extreme, or neutral. A test used today by the majority of international sleep centers and widely validated.
A biological clock in the brain
” the position of sleep in 24 hours, revealed by the questionnaire is directly correlated to the speed of our internal biological clock “, says Dr. Claude Gronfier, neurobiologist, Inserm, vice president of the francophone Society chronobiology. a physically biological clock located in the brain. specifically in suprachiasmastiques nuclei of the hypothalamus. it will, among other rhythm sleep, sleep time, wake, sleep doors openings (times of the day where one falls asleep easily.)
on average, the period of this clock is 24 h 12. But it can range from 23 hours 30 minutes for the “bed early / Arise early “, which have a slightly faster clock at 24: 30 pm for” night owl / up late “, which have a slightly slower clock.
as a result, if you are born early, you will never be a night owl and may say a “Vesper extreme” early to bed, her biological clock will deny him sleep before a late hour! This is precisely what happens in teenagers whose clock is slowed down at this time of life; they therefore can not fall asleep earlier, whatever we tell them.
The current problem is the mismatch between our chronotype and our lifestyle that can then generate a real pain. Mainly among night owl / late risers have to get up early the week, and are catching up sleep debt weekend. They then experience a true “jet social lag” associated with a procession, metabolic, cardiovascular, cognitive (memory, cognitive disability), mental (endogenous depression, anxiety) …
France in debt chronic sleep
The situation is not going to be accommodating. Our lifestyles bully, in fact, increasingly, our biological clock and opposes our chronotype, prompting us to lie increasingly later with a poor sleep.
its annual survey, the National Institute of sleep and alertness (INSV) shows that the French population has chronic sleep debt. On average the French sleep 7 h 05 week and 8 h 11 the weekend, proof that they do not get enough sleep on workdays and thus do not sufficiently respect their rhythm. 73% of them say they wake up at least once a night. 25% are sleepy day. And third states suffer from a sleep disorder.
As much time in bed and with a screen has an impact on the quality of sleep
INSV points to the impact of new technologies that have “ very widely invaded day … as the nights “ and highlight the difficulty. According to the survey, 8 out of 10 French use their computer, tablet or smartphone in the evening after dinner and almost 4 out of 10 in bed “As much time in bed and in front of a screen has an impact on sleep quality” says Dr Joëlle Adrien President INSV. Users of new technologies in the evening put, according to the study, more time to turn off the light (from 9 to 12 minutes), to fall asleep (3 minutes), and 49% of those with a computer or in sleep in their rooms complaining of sleep disturbances. Involved, a double effect. Our connected devices, challenging and addictive, keep us in a sleep state, “on the alert”, turning us into “sentinel sleeper”.
But even more powerful, the direct impact of the light screens on our brain’s internal clock. “The light to which we are exposed in the evening and early night has the effect of delaying the clock” says Claude Gonfrier. called LED screens (TVs, smartphones, tablets, computers) cast a bluish light “extremely effective” .
Not surprisingly, according INSV, if exposure to screens recurs every night, nights of lesser quality and sleepy tomorrow are renewed. And little by little, sleep disorders are installed. “There is no question of banning connections, concludes INSV, just log out at the right time, minimizing of the possibilities being disturbed at night, rest days and holiday “
the recommendations of INSV better sleep . – do not expose yourself to the screens in his bed – Allow new technologies at least 1 hour 30 minutes before bed. -. Banish laptops and smartphones of the room and put in airplane mode – Disconnect the weekends and days off. – Adopt a “digital courtesy.” Will impose time limits or day to connect with others
evening . – Minimize screen brightness . > – Using applications that reduce the percentage of blue light from a certain time. -. Wear protective glasses day – S expose to the light of day that resynchronize the biological clock. -. physical activity day

According to estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), in Belgium and in industrialized countries, 1 in 1,000 people are blind. And one in 100 is visually impaired. Fortunately, technology flies to their aid to help them in their daily lives.
If the number of people with blindness decreases over time, the visually impaired are more and more because of the aging population.
Do not make confusion between blind and visually impaired. These are people with visual impairments. They have a problem acuity (the ability to distinguish details) or a limited visual field (parts of the visual field that disappear). It is very disabling. There are plenty of devices to help them in their daily lives. For example:
universal remote controls with large buttons compatible with a range of devices
magnifying glasses on backlit feet to play
phones with big buttons or with photos
magnifiers electronic video for the visually impaired
of video magnifiers based on the same principle
But the equipment is expensive and cumbersome. It’s not always easy to carry. In recent years, there is a device that replaces all specialized equipment. It costs less and it fits in a pocket: the smartphone. Thanks to him, we can enlarge small type, use voice recognition to write or to be read text. We met Luke and Francesco, two visually impaired people who use their smartphone every day and it seems that it has changed their lives looking.
Siri, GPS, zoom camera, voice recognition, Facetime, etc. options are integrated directly into our smartphones . IPhones are designed to be used by the visually impaired, but this is not the case for all smartphones. It is important to learn to buy and ask to test it.
Applications are also designed for the visually impaired but are not preinstalled in the phone. They are sometimes expensive, like that of Francesco. Telorion is interface designed for visually impaired. It enlarges the characters, to photograph a text, to enlarge, white on black. The problem is that it costs 300 euros and requires a high smartphone range.
Be My Eyes
Fortunately, there are also free applications. They allow to do similar things but not necessarily with the same comfort. “ Be My Eyes ” is used to help the visually impaired. We can set its sight to serve the visually impaired through his smartphone. Sometimes the machine can not replace human intervention. It uses a community. It connects two types of people: the visually impaired and volunteers. When a visually impaired person needs assistance in a particular situation (finding its way into a station to inquire about the composition of a food, etc.), it may request the intervention of a volunteer through app. A person available can then use the camera and microphone smartphone to help him. In total, the application has 347,000 volunteers, 26,000 visually impaired and 130,000 calls made.
People who use their computer, tablet or smartphone before falling asleep more often suffer from sleep disorders, according to the results of the investigation INSV / MGEN “Sleep and new technologies” announced at the occasion of the 16th sleep Day, this Friday, March 18, 2016.
It is better not to surf the web before going to bed …
49% of those with a computer running or on standby in their bedroom have trouble sleeping, against 36% of the French population, according to results of the survey ” sleep and new technologies “conducted by the National Institute of sleep and Alertness (INSV) MGEN and revealed on the occasion of the 16th Day of sleep, March 18, 2016.
young adults, fond of new technologies, are particularly concerned about the deleterious impact of “screens”. Indeed 18-34 years are more likely to be sleepy during the day. They also spend more time in bed before turning off their lights (36 minutes on workdays and 39 minutes on days of rest, against 27 minutes on average) and take longer to fall asleep (24 minutes against 21 minutes on average). Moreover, they are more likely to suffer from at least one sleep disorder.
New pervasive technologies into the bed …
91% of French people use their computers , tablet or smartphone at night. Four in ten go to invite new technologies in their bed For Doctor Joëlle Adrien, President of INSV, the rate of users of new technologies in bed at night is problematic. As much time in bed and in front of a screen deteriorates the quality of sleep and impairs alertness the next day , she says. Sleep can also be disturbed by the reception of messages night. Thus, 10% of respondents admit to being awakened by messages received overnight. 92% of them consult upon receipt and 79% answer spontaneously. Recall that the light signals emitted by the screens disrupt the biological clock which makes it incapable of ensuring the conditions for rapid sleep onset or sleep. Bright millisecond flashes at night may delay the biological clock, and the system is so sensitive that the light is even if sleeping eyes closed , says Dr. Claude Gronfier, neurobiologist and expert biological rhythms.
added to this is the use of increasingly frequent and prolonged screens during the day. 46% of French indeed spend more than two hours per day in front of their computer screen for personal needs, 25% more than four hours, which helps to stay alert and connected as possible … including night. As stated Dr. Sylvie Royant-Parola, psychiatrist and vice president of INSV, regardless of the age of technology aficionados and regardless of the connected object, new technologies have given birth to a society on the alert, where everyone is on deck, both day and night. People do not realize that sleep needs protection to install and night must be a totally disconnected time, a total break time of the environment .
Change sound behavior for better sleep
It is possible to improve the quality of sleep by changing their habits and behavior. These include not to expose the screens at night in bed, ignored the new technologies at least 1:30 before bed, banish from room phones and smartphones or learn to disconnect the rest days. In addition, applications can reduce the percentage of blue light emitted by smartphones and tablets from a certain time. Remember that blue light impacts the nocturnal production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our rhythm sleep / wake. However habits that are a little more complicated to adopt when working at night or shift work …

Night, half of the French do not extinguish their smartphone or laptop and keep it either in operation (one in five) or in sleep in their room while they sleep, according to the survey conducted on the occasion of the 16th day of SommeI l Friday, during which the sleep centers will open their doors to the public
half also admits she can be awakened. – “every night often or sometimes “- by messages.Parmi those awakened by a message, provide 92% consult” still (almost) often or sometimes “and 79% say” respond to messages upon receipt “
the use of “new technologies” at night in bed affects 36% of respondents rest days or vacation days and 39% work in active and students.
But more than half of “addicted” to the screens at night under the covers between 18 and 34 years. Among these “addicts” night, 18-24 year olds have more trouble sleeping than those of the same age who do not use their screens at night , the days of work (31% against 18% ).
the light screens disturbs the biological clock
problem, the a light screen delivers an alert signal mishaps and disrupts the biological clock that no longer provides rapid sleep onset or restful sleep, fall specialists.
the survey shows an ignorance of the light signals that interfere with quality sleep, since about one in ten French think that electronic tools are to use “rather in the evening” to preserve sleep.
So, they are slow to turn off (up to 40 minutes on average against 27 for others) and also take longer to fall asleep. They often complain of poor sleep and recover more sleeping on weekends than the average.
During the holidays and days off, if more than 80% of respondents say that their come to think of disconnect (mail, social networks, sms, Tweeter …), 18% never disconnect. 18-24 are themselves a four never to disconnect during the holidays .
A structure specialized in sleep disorders in Dijon
sleep plays an important role in our lives. Proof also that we should not neglect it. Besides, in our region several structures specialize in pathology research related to sleep as the Hospital Chartreuse in Dijon .
Since 2010, this structure has new technology to track narcolepsy, sleep apnea, sleepwalking and other sleep related diseases.
in this center, it handles about 500 applications per year. A figure that could increase further. The main responsibility remains new technologies.
In France, nearly one in two French with a laptop is a victim of sleep disorders . Young people are particularly vulnerable.

The 16th edition of Sleep Day is a new opportunity for specialists to pull the alarm. “The new information and communications technology (ICT) has invaded our lives,” says Dr. Joëlle Adrien, neurobiologist, president of the National Institute of sleep and alertness. At home, office, weekdays as during the weekend, day and night, it is increasingly rare to not having a handy screen view. All this is obviously not without consequences on the quality of the nights and, by extension, that of the day.
According to figures by the Institute, nearly half of French go home more than two hours a day in front of their computer screens for their personal needs work days, of which 25% (and two-thirds of students) more than four hours. But above all, few would disconnect end of the day: 91% of French using ICTs in the evening – before or after dinner and in bed – rest days and holidays. Working days, it’s worse! This user rate is 96% among active and students. In addition, 20% of French have at least one smartphone operating in their room at night. Half of them are awakened by ring tones or beeps. The most laconic received SMS is also useless: “You sleep? “Even worse, 80% will respond immediately …
The disrupted biological clock
The behavior” techno-addict “of French is not without impact on the quality and duration their nights. Nocturnal users of ICT (young, usually) spend more time before turning their light: on average thirty-six minutes on working days, and thirty-nine days’ rest against twenty-seven minutes for the others. Once in the dark, they put a little more time to sleep and are more likely to suffer from at least one sleep disorder. Their nighttime awakenings are also longer.
Specialists explain that the light screens is “arousing”. Issued out of season, it disrupts the biological clock, which is no longer able to ensure the conditions for a quick sleep or a refreshing sleep. Moreover, these new technologies have a behavioral effect and addictive stimulant. By a sort of effect “on call”, users are constantly on alert, they do not sleep with one eye open, preventing the necessary time to withdraw from the outside world, to complete separation.
Doctors are all the more concerned that these new technologies are experiencing a rapid expansion. “The screens are multiplying, connections are everywhere, even in so-called connected clothes smart , may inform us about ourselves,” it said in the folder. “When will the pajamas that will awaken us saying you sleep well? “And yet, ICTs should simplify life, not harmful to health …
These new technologies that want to help you sleep better | Pascal Preti via Getty Images
TECHNO – Sleep and technology are not often mix. TV, PC and smartphones have the annoying tendency to cause sleep problems, especially if used just before going to bed.
This Friday, March 18, sleeping Day focuses of elsewhere on this question: “How do we sleep at the time of any screen?” But new technologies can also help you sleep better.
In recent years, as the dodo is the center of attention, gadgets and applications helping you to choose, to get to sleep, sleep better or better wake up are legion. But what about their effectiveness?
Alarm olfactory, bracelets and ear balls connected
If you want to sleep better, there is the spoiled for choice. The famous bracelets connected as the Jawbone for analyzing your circadian rhythm, as well as many applications as Sleep Cycle or Sleep Time. Some bracelets even offer wake up at the right time, for example with a vibration.
Wake And speaking here too the promises of the end of the shrill ringing with alarm clocks that mimic natural light or olfactory.
There are also gadgets that seek to help you fall asleep. As Sleapi, a small lamp in the shape of turtle which is placed on the forehead sensible avoid mental wandering. Or Dodow, a subject developed by a French company and that projects a point of light on which to focus to relax before sleep. Or Hush, headphones that broadcast a supposed white noise spare you the shrill noise of city life.
The start-up Lully even offers to end the night terrors of your children, placing an object connected under the mattress that will vibrate and wake the child just before the nightmare really begins.
Learn to listen to his body
But is it working, or is it that these objects primarily benefit from the renewed interest in the sleep? The National Sleep Foundation and the Consumer Electronics Association conducted late 2015 a study on the usefulness of new technologies to find the path of the arms of Morpheus. And the first observation is not very glorious: the users of these gadgets are sleeping on average as long as those not using any tool, or about 6.5 hours per night while they feel they need one more hour to feel rested.
60% of users say they have better understood from their sleep patterns. 51% say they sleep better now. Those using active technologies have better results than those using simple passive applications, which observe our circadian rhythm.
“What I regret is that we are more able to listen to your body, electronics is needed, we attended,” said Claire Leconte, chronobiologiste interviewed by HuffPost . “I do not mind plugs, but already re-learn to know each other,” joked the researcher. “You can do it naturally, why go through a machine?”

On this occasion, the CHU Caen ( Calvados ) and Rouen ( Seine-Maritime) unveil an extensive program for this day launched under the theme of sleep and new technologies. In Caen, Françoise Bertran, neurologist at the University Hospital, works in the processing unit and diagnosis of sleep disorders. She answered questions from Normandie-news
Normandie-news . For the 16 th edition the National Institute of sleep and alertness chose the theme of sleep and new technologies. At present, what is the link between sleep and new technologies
Françoise Bertran : This connection responds to a finding: People who use many new technologies can develop sleep disorders. It is proven that those who spend more time on their phones, tablets or computers, do it at the expense of their sleep. If the new technologies are probably not the only ones responsible for the decrease in sleep time, it is clear that they play an important role. And then there are also the most perverse effects of new technologies, such as the fact that they give off much light. But light does not send messages “falling asleep” in the brain, on the contrary! She secrete melatonin, which pushes us to keep us awake.
Risk of lasting insomnia
In this case, there exists a system of prevention “against” the new technology, to “protect” our sleep?
It is above all a matter of education, but also usual. Indeed, what is needed is not accustomed toddlers watching too screens. Indeed, we know for example that all activities on the screens can alter their perception of time passing. Therefore, they do not get the same signals to sleep. For example, detect less drowsiness symptoms. This is why we do not recommend any screen in the room. Studies show that children who watch a lot screens more easily develop insomnia in adulthood. This is not a coincidence for me. After that, I think there is a real awareness today and especially from parents.
January 2015, the Taiwanese Parliament gave as serious “the fact spending time on electronics as drinking, taking drugs or watch porn, “explained Libération . Parents of children with “physical or mental disorder” may well pay a fine of about 1 400 euros. In 2015, a study showed that eight Americans spent an average of eight hours a day on electronics against three hours to French youth.
“This is the negative who wins”
Conversely, new applications or software used to support or study our sleep. Do you think that new technologies can be positive?
Yes, there are things that have also developed more positively for sleep . But we must take some distance with them. Indeed, for example, connected watches that allow “to record sleep,” did not really register! It is a technology that will only record your movements during your sleep and establish a calculation. I do not want to sound reactionary but I’m not completely convinced yet. If one were to make the balance between that new technologies bring negative and positive, I would say it is the negative who wins … After I’m not against! On the contrary. Hopefully one day technology will allow us to sleep better

Find the 2015 study by the National Institute of sleep and alertness here:
Are we all equal before sleep? What are the most affected?
People who sleep late are the most exposed. Indeed, they were more likely to occupy their time by using new technologies and are therefore more vulnerable. It therefore concerns rather young adults and adolescents.
The “waves” that would be issued by the devices they are also responsible for a bad sleep?
Nothing has been proven scientifically, regarding the possible consequences of these waves on health, or that of the wireless, radio. So I will not comment on the matter, as a scientist. But personally, I would apply the precautionary principle. I would not put a wireless terminal a side of my head to sleep ….
