Health experts working togetherThis partnership will give Cegedim a chance to see how it can integrate connected medical devices from Visiomed Group's BewellConnect® ecosystem into its own products and services.
"A partnership with one of the leading medical IoT companies gives us a way into new connected health markets by providing innovative one-stop solutions to meet the growing needs of a health system that is using these technologies more and more. A tool like the VisioCheck® mobile telemedicine station can take all of the measurements a general practitioner would need for a consultation," notes Dr. Eric Jarrousse, Cegedim Healthcare Software Vice-President for Medical Affairs.
"General practitioners, pharmacists and nurses will be invaluable allies if we want to make telemedicine a success in France. We feel that working closely with a top medical software company like Cegedim ensures that our solutions will be designed specifically with these healthcare professionals in mind and will offer the working conditions and functionalities that they expect. Cegedim's expertise and insight into the needs of healthcare professionals are crucial to making sure these new tools are adopted early and widely," emphasizes Dr. François Teboul, Visiomed Group Medical Director.
In addition, Cegedim will be supplying Visiomed Group with tools to monitor sales and marketing performance in its core business of selling over-the-counter healthcare products to pharmacies.
