Challenges and areas for improvement

Despite its comprehensive offerings, Mon Espace Santé faces several challenges:

...

Challenges include:

Automatic data integration from hospitals remains inconsistent due to the platform being in its early stages, and automatic data integration from hospitals varies widely.
Even when healthcare systems are connected to Mon Espace Santé, the data are not yet fully structured or coded for optimal use.
Mon Espace Santé has not yet gained widespread daily use, as the adoption statistics indicate.
The platform lacks functionality resulting in patient profiles often displaying only a partial view of their health data.
Some information is not fully structured or coded. For instance, test results are typically provided as PDF files sent by healthcare facilities, rather than being integrated into a structured format within the platform.
As the statistics below indicate, the platform has not yet achieved widespread adoption.
Patients are unable to view or manage appointments directly through the platform.
