History
Mon Espace Santé, a digital platform established by the French government, In 2019, the French Minister of Solidarity and Health set out a plan for the Digital Health Delegation (DNS) as part of the "Ma Santé 2022" programme. Among the 30 proposed actions, point 15 aimed to establish a Digital Health Space allowing citizens to choose and access digital health services securely and easily within the healthcare system. Action 16 aimed to provide healthcare professionals with a platform for communicating service packages to facilitate clinical telemedicine securely and efficiently, while action 8 requested the software used by all health professionals to be interoperable with the Digital Health Space by July 2023.
The decree outlining the implementation conditions for the Digital Health Space was published on 4th August 2021. Following this, the space was renamed "Mon Espace Santé” (My Health Space) with its specific content defined in the decree.
The launch of Mon Espace Santé on January 1st 2022 represented a milestone in the digitization of healthcare services . Launched on January 1, 2022, in France. The platform is available for all individuals under the umbrella of Health Insurance, with provisions for opt-outs, the platform has since then witnessed substantial growth.
The realisation of Mon Espace Santé was possible thanks to a collaboration between the French government and a consortium led by Atos, a player in the field of computer and information technology. This partnership culminated in the creation of the Mon Espace Santé (MES) platform, which was co-developed with CNAM (the National Health Insurance Fund). The project, awarded to Atos at the conclusion of negotiations in November 2020, included design, development, hosting, operation, and maintenance of Mon Espace Santé. Despite its intricate nature, the timeline for the development of the project was of 13 months.
