The French Mini-Public on Healthcare and Big Data (Atelier citoyen sur le big data en santé) gathered 17 citizens from May 2016 to June 2016. It was held in the framework of a national debate on big data, but not coupled with a legislative process.

Participant Recruitment and Selection
Participants were randomly selected to achieve representativity with respect to age, gender, and residence. An additional criterion used was computer skills. There was also an exclusion of people with potential conflicts of interest (e.g., all people working in healthcare or in the field of new technologies).

What Went On: Process, Interaction, and Participation
Influence, Outcomes, and Effects
On June 19, participants released a statement with the summary of their conclusions. This summary report was then presented to the health minister during a conference on July 4, 2016. The debates were weakly publicized and do not seem to have had a strong influence on public opinion or legislative decisions.
