Alexandre Mathieu-Fritz

Alexandre Mathieu-Fritz is a Professor of Sociology at Gustave Eiffel University and a researcher at LATTS (Laboratoire Techniques, Territoires et Sociétés - UMR 8134 CNRS). His academic career spans multiple sociological domains with a strong focus on professional groups, work sociology, and more recently, the sociological implications of digital health technologies. Based at the university's Champs-sur-Marne campus in the Cité Descartes, he maintains active research collaborations across France and internationally.

Specializing in the sociology of work and professional groups, Mathieu-Fritz has conducted extensive research since 2009 on telemedicine and telehealth. His work examines teleconsultations across various medical specialties including geriatrics, psychiatry, neurology, dermatology, and surgery, as well as shared medical records (DMP). His research methodology combines sociological theory with practical healthcare observations, focusing on how digital technologies transform doctor-patient interactions, professional practices, healthcare organization, and the medical profession system.

Mathieu-Fritz's publication record demonstrates a clear trajectory from early work on legal professions (particularly bailiffs) to contemporary research on medical technologies. His recent work shows increasing engagement with artificial intelligence in healthcare settings, examining both practical implementation challenges and broader sociological implications. His research reveals how digital health innovations create new forms of professional coordination while simultaneously transforming traditional healthcare relationships and practices.

As an active academic, Mathieu-Fritz supervises research within LATTS laboratory, contributing to the sociology of innovation and healthcare technology. His work has significant implications for healthcare policymakers, medical professionals adapting to digital transformation, and sociologists studying professional change in the digital age. He maintains strong connections with medical practitioners through his field research, ensuring his sociological analyses remain grounded in real-world healthcare contexts.
