La Poste’s DOCAPOST joins partnership focused on digitalising health

Le Groupe La Poste subsidiary DOCAPOST has announced a new partnership with e-health specialist VISIOMED and telecoms company HUAWEI to develop new services aimed at digitalising France’s healthcare system. In a statement issued today (27 September), Le Groupe La Post said: “Greater life expectancy, a rise in chronic diseases, and medical desertification: the health sector is in a state of upheaval. The plan to ramp-up the modernisation of health, recently announced by the public authorities, demonstrates this disruption.

“In order to meet these new challenges, DOCAPOST, VISIOMED GROUP and HUAWEI have decided to pool their expertise and offer health and silver economy players a range of innovative services aimed at digitalising the health system. The goal is to produce a simpler and more reliable system for patients and professionals alike.”

Le Groupe La Poste added: “An operator of digital health services and the leading health data host, with more than 45 million files hosted and managed on a daily basis, DOCAPOST offers the first digital health space as part of this partnership.

“This new, personalised health services platform recently developed by DOCAPOST relies on the latter’s approved healthcare data hosting system (HADS) and on the capabilities of La Poste’s digital hub for the secure use of connected health data.

“Designed to simplify the work of health practitioners, this new offer consolidates all a patient’s health data (with said patient’s permission) in a personal and secure digital safe, from where the data can be shared securely.

“The Digital Health Space (ENS – Espace Numérique de Santé) is also a place where beneficiaries can access a wide range of customised service packages. These services can range from the remote detection of falls and after-care monitoring at home, to ordering meals online, enjoying daily services, cultural goods, and more.”
