There are two steps to follow:

Step 1: Administrative phase

Should you wish to order test CPS cards or register authorisations for test software, you may:

• read our complete products offer ;
• place an order
  To place an order, select your Profile and your Structure, then choose “Produits de développement. Commander des produits de développement : carte et/ou certificat logiciel de test" (Test products for products, cards and/or test software).

Step 2: Technical phase

Use the card you validated after step 1 in order to connect with the Trusted Platform IGC-Santé. You will be able to order, withdraw, monitor and revoke test certificates through the IHM or Webservice interface.
In order to do so, make sur you have inserted your test card in the card reader.

In an inclusive way, all digital services aimed at citizens and useful for their healthcare can apply. Eligible services must be for the use of patients/citizens and proposed by public or private actors in the medical (health, wellness), social-medical, or social fields. The services must be included the definition set out by the L. 1111-13-1 bill:  

These services may include mobile apps, websites, connected objects, medical devices. They may be free services or not.  

Services in the realm of the EU regulation 2017/745 relating to medical devices must be conform to security and performance requirements. If your solution passes the conformity requirements, it will receive the CE label for medical devices.

There are two search options in the Health Pro Directory:

• A keyword search (Who ? What ? Where ?) that allows you to find professionals in matching establishments;
• A detailed search (Profession, specialisation, skills, ID, place of practice) to target health professionals or health structures.

The RPPS has restricted access content. You need to log in to the Health Pro Directory to access these data. The use of a CPS card as means of authentication is required:

• if you carry a Director of Establishement (CDE) card or a liberal CPS card, you may automatically access the information whose access is granted to you;
• in other cases, accessing the directory with a CPx-type card may need a prior enrolment process with the ANS. You will need to fill a RPPS access request form.

You need a card reader in order to authentify yourself with a CPx-type card.

For further information, read our pages to the CPS and e-CPS.

The IGC-Santé is dedicated to the health sector and follows strict procedures in terms of data collection, professional identification, and works with certified authorities (RPPS register, etc.).

The certificates issued by the IGC guarantee the security of software or electronic cards, such as the CPS card.

The IGC also manages the publication of these certificates and can revoke them – this is signalled to the apps using certificates in revocation listings.

There are two main reasons for the creation of IGC-Santé :

• guaranteeing the security of private keys and certificates issued by the ANS: the access to these private keys must be limited in order to prevent duplicates or their installation more than one device;
• maintaining a continuity in services: many health apps used to work on certificates issued by former CKI that ceased their activity in January 2021. These apps must be compatible with certificates issued by the IGC-Santé.

In addition, these certificates meet the security standards (risk analysis, safety policies), or “Certifying Policies” that comply with the PGSS-IS guidelines.

The national ID is on the first line of your CPS card:

• Add a “8” before your RPPS ID, for example: 81234567890 ;
• Add a “0” before your ADELI ID, for example: 01234567890.

In order for your service to be referenced in the My Health Space database, it must comply with the eHealth doctrine.

The doctrine is re-edited each year and defines the base rules of good practice for security, interoperability, and ethics applicable to eHealth services.

My Health Space includes the following health data: 

• The medical profile entered by the patient, in an unstructured format (preconditions, allergies); 
• Health measurements (weight, height, BMI, temperature, waist size, heart rate, blood pressure, glycemic index, level of pain) in FHIR format;  
• Health documents (for example: test and diagnosis results, hospitalisation reports, medical treatments).
