launch in Bastia of Spaziu Pro, the new 100% insular digital tool

A simple, connected and above all, insular health solution. This is the challenge that the Regional Group to Support the Development of e-Health (GRADeS) of Corsica has undertaken with Spaziu Pro, a digital platform created by and for the island's health professionals to respond to the needs of growing public health needs. After a first launch in Ajaccio at the start of the week, the device was presented in Bastia on Wednesday December 18.

Better monitoring of patient care pathways
According to its designers, Spaziu Pro can become the preferred platform for island practitioners since it brings together everything they need in one place, all with a unique identifier. With this platform full of tools, it will now be possible for health professionals to carry out all telemedicine procedures remotely, to communicate via secure messaging, or to have meetings and multidisciplinary consultations to facilitate exchange. medical data between the different professionals involved in the patient's care journey. It must be said that Corsica is facing a decline in the number of health professionals, particularly in rural areas, and does not have enough specialists, which forces many patients to have to travel to the continent to receive appropriate care. For Alain Husselstein, director of GRADeS in Corsica, “ the first objective is to bring the patient closer to the doctor, and the second is to improve the health of users thanks to digital technology “. With these new tools, developed with the support of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Corsica, patients will benefit from better support in their care journey thanks to the teleconsultations offered by the platform, in particular with specialists. from the continent, with whom the platform has established partnerships. On the patient's side, if this system can simplify their life, joining Spaziu Pro will be painless, since it is their attending physician who will decide whether or not to use the service.

Compete with the giants of the continent
With this new tool, the GRADeS of Corsica is pursuing the ambitious objective of competing with behemoths in the sector such as Doctolib, Maya and Care, which provide similar services. However, the island platform stands out for its price, since “ an annual license with us for a doctor costs €360, while for the same result at Doctolib, with appointment making and telemedicine, a health professional must pay between €150 and €170 per monthpredicts Alain Husselstein. Little by little, we will attract professionals to this unique platform, since it will simplify their daily lives. We are confident in the deployment of these solutions over which we have control, and which we can evolve on demand. ».
