Cegedim : supports the 2nd edition of the E-pocrate Challenge dedicated to e-health innovation

Cultivating solutions that improve the patient care pathway

The E-pocrate Challenge brings together all of the most innovative actors in the French health ecosystem: companies, institutions, hospitals, universities, etc. It is open to 2- to 5-person teams of students, professionals, recent

graduates and entrepreneurs. Teams have three months to submit a presentation on their project consisting of five slides (submissions for this year end at midnight on October 30).

A pioneer in connected health, Cegedim will make its expertise available to participants who want to launch a startup or bring an innovative e-health project to fruition. As sponsor of the Excellence Prize for "Patient compliance and chronic patient care pathway", the Group will devote special attention to that prize's winner.

The winning project in the field of patient compliance will be able to draw on Cegedim's expertise and strong positions, including its:

• Management solutions for medical practices and pharmacies (Cegedim Logiciels Médicaux, RM Ingénierie

  and Smart Rx);

• Drug database certified by the Haute Autorité de Santé (Resip - BCB Dexther);

• Patient appointment scheduling portal (Docavenue);

• Insurance sector and data collection technologies (Cegedim Insurance Solutions).

More than 70,000 health professionals in France use a Cegedim product every day, including doctors, pharmacists and allied health workers. Cegedim designs its solutions to improve the quality of patient monitoring, working within the context of managing medical and allied health activities. A good example of this is Cegedim's management software for medical practices and multidisciplinary health facilities (MLM, Crossway, MédiClick), which can automatically update patient records with measurements from the most commonly used medical equipment, such as sphygmomanometers, blood glucose meters, oxygen meters and connected scales.
