Problem
Many patients face difficulties in accessing timely healthcare services at home due to challenges in finding available and qualified nurses, kinésithérapeutes, and midwives. This is further compounded by the time-consuming process of contacting multiple professionals to find someone available and suitable.
Solution
Medicalib operates a digital healthcare platform designed to streamline the process of connecting patients with qualified in-home healthcare professionals. Patients can submit their care requests online, specifying the type of professional needed (nurse, kinésithérapeute, or midwife) and the required services. Medicalib then uses its network to identify available professionals in the patient's area and facilitates contact between the patient and the selected healthcare provider. The platform aims to reduce the time and effort required for patients to arrange in-home care, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate medical attention.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients needing in-home nursing, physiotherapy, or midwifery services, as well as hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities seeking to coordinate post-discharge care and home healthcare services for their patients.
