This investment will allow Lifen to expand its eHealth infrastructure on a large scale. This innovation will lead to three-fold advantages for the healthcare system:
- Better access to innovation for doctors
- Simplified use of digital resources in the care pathway
- Rapid integration of eHealth solutions into hospital information systems
Lifen shows continued growth in France, with already more than 600 healthcare institution clients using its services to support over 2 million patients each month. European expansion and recruitment are also key priorities, with over 200 new employees expected to be recruited in Europe in the next 18 months.
An opportunity for hospitals to embrace eHealth
Healthcare systems are under increasing pressure, notably due to the rise in chronic diseases and the ageing population, while the number of healthcare personnel is stagnating. In the UK, multiple initiatives to accelerate digital transformation will have a positive impact on the care system (NHS Long Term Plan, The Future of Healthcare initiative...). For this digital transition to be fully realised, two main obstacles for publishers must be resolved: cost and complexity of market access.
Lifen aims to offer a solution to this problem for all stakeholders.
Lifen improves quality of care by facilitating access to digital innovations benefiting both doctors and patients
Since 2015, Lifen has built its success in France on the digitization of medical reports.
This success is based on proven technologies, fulfilling the most stringent security requirements, which allow Lifen to guarantee:
- connection to health data (flow management in hospital information systems & artificial intelligence to structure health data)
- secure identity management (identity management application suite covering all types of identification and authorisation scenarios)
- distribution of solutions to healthcare stakeholders
Lifen is now expanding these technologies to eHealth applications, allowing this sector to enjoy the added value created by the company over the years.
Lifen aims to continue rolling out its technology in over 1500 hospitals, with 200 eHealth solutions by 2025. Over 200 new employees are expected to be recruited in its technical, product and business development teams over the next 18 months, to support this growth.
Progress in eHealth requires joint efforts. Each stakeholder is currently forced to deal with the complexities of the entire ecosystem. Lifen offers a solution to this problem, which will boost the digitalisation of the treatment path – Franck Le Ouay, Lifen
