Tiers Lieu projects
Project 1: IVIMED
Supplier : IVIMED
Solution : IVIMED is a digital solution designed to optimize patient information and the hospital pathway, save time for doctors and reduce the cost of surgical cancellations for hospitals. It facilitates the exchange of information and documents between patient and doctor.
Need : According to the HAS, the average rate of scheduled cancellations per year and per hospital varies from 10 to 15%, causing significant financial losses. These cancellations are due to a lack of ongoing information, delayed patient preparation, a change in health status and lack of documentation.
Tiers Lieu contribution: IVIMED will benefit from the Tiers Lieu INS for coherent development, meeting the expectations of patients, doctors and hospitals. A medico-economic study on 882 patients will evaluate the reduction in the cancellation rate in the operating room thanks to IVIMED, enabling national and then international deployment. The study will take place in 18 care departments at 3 hospitals in Normandy.
Project 2: TOMO QALY
Supplier: TOMO
Solution: Tomo revolutionizes the care pathway by enabling patients to exchange securely and anonymously with patient caregivers (selected and trained) via visio, telephone or message. This improves their daily lives and compliance. Tomo aggregates feedback to identify pain points and improve practices. Tomo is aimed at hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, patient associations, mutual insurance companies and CPTS.
Need : In France, 12 million people with chronic illnesses feel a heavy burden of loneliness. 60% would like support from associations or peers. Patient caregivers, if trained, can improve autonomy, psychosocial skills and caregiver-caregiver communication. The TOMO platform facilitates these exchanges, and its societal evaluation is necessary for its eventual integration into the healthcare system.
The contribution of the Tiers Lieu:
The experiment with the Tiers Lieu INS in the Normandy region will measure the impact of TOMO on the quality of life of chronic patients via a randomized cost-utility study. In the medium term, this will enable:
- Improve the patient verbatim analysis tool to recommend improvements to healthcare facilities;
- Use the anonymized data to develop natural language processing (NLP) algorithms and provide personalized recommendations;
- Achieve CE marking for NLP algorithms if required ;
- To have the Tomo service reimbursed by the Assurance Maladie, including paid patient partners;
- To register the service on Mon Espace Santé to make it accessible to as many users as possible;
- To measure the impacts and areas for improvement of pair-aidance to accelerate its national rollout.
