Like a recent initiative that has been proposed in North America called "Scientahealth", A.D.N. is a new health center concept in France. It is located in Paris and is based on the creation of health teams and health care network. The objective of this initiative is to allow the patient to determine the risks of developing a specific type of disease and to help him reduce those risks.

That will enable high quality of diagnoses and sustained health program of the clients. This health center is intended for wealthy clients. Therefore, there will be an analysis lab, where the patient could go through a complete diagnosis of his health condition and the necessary pieces of advice that will allow him to undergo the health program correctly.
