Medaviz

Medaviz operates as a key player in the French telemedicine market, providing a suite of digital solutions designed to improve access to healthcare. The company was founded in 2014 in Vannes, France, by the sibling duo Stéphanie Hervier and Guillaume Lesdos, along with Dr. Spalaikovitch. The idea originated from Dr. Spalaikovitch's observation of unequal medical resource distribution in Southern Brittany, proposing telemedicine as a solution to enhance healthcare accessibility. Guillaume Lesdos, with a background from Kedge Business School and experience at Deloitte, serves as President, while Stéphanie Hervier, who previously worked in marketing at Bearing Point, is the CEO.

The company's business model is primarily B2B, serving a diverse client base that includes healthcare professionals, medical facilities, corporations, and mutual insurance companies. For corporations and mutual insurers, Medaviz provides a 24/7 teleconsultation service, giving millions of beneficiaries immediate medical advice via phone or video. This service is often included in the beneficiaries' health contracts. For healthcare providers, Medaviz offers a platform for teleconsultation, tele-expertise (specialist advice), and telecare, which is compliant with French healthcare regulations. It also provides tools for territorial health organizations (like CPTS) to manage unscheduled care, coordinate professionals through secure messaging, and facilitate patient referrals within a territory. Revenue is generated from these services, and the company reported a turnover of €7.3 million in 2024.

The platform's features are designed to integrate into existing healthcare workflows. It allows for secure video consultations, sharing of medical documents, and the digital issuance of prescriptions and care sheets. A key aspect of the service is its interoperability with other professional medical software and its compliance with security standards, holding ISO 27001 and HDS (Health Data Hosting) certifications. Significant milestones include launching their teleconsultation solution for professionals in 2018, experiencing a surge in adoption during the 2020 health crisis, and securing a Series A funding round of €6 million ($7.1M) in September 2020 from investors like Groupama, Matmut, Bpifrance, and Ramsay Santé. By 2024, the company received the official "Société de Téléconsultation" accreditation from the French government and covered over 8 million patients through its network of more than 12,000 healthcare professionals.
