Résumé : Today, the French healthcare system faces a dual challenge: an aging population and an increase in chronic diseases, which are putting pressure on a model historically centred on hospitals and curative care. Nonpharmacological strategies (NPS) are emerging as an innovative and necessary response, strengthening prevention, improving quality of life, and reducing medication consumption. Based on the biopsychosocial model, they encompass a variety of actions that require active patient participation and interprofessional coordination. Their integration into recent public policies illustrates a desire to promote more integrative and personalized healthcare. However, their growth must be accompanied by ethical and scientific safeguards to avoid abuses. NMSs are thus establishing themselves as essential levers of preventive and sustainable medicine, capable of addressing today’s major health and societal challenges.
