What is My Health Space?

My Health Space (Mon Espace Santé) is a new public service launched in 2022 that allows patients to store and share their documents and health data digitally in a safe way. If you want your service to be referenced in the My Health Space directory, you need to meet several obligations set out by the French Ministry of Health, the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM), the eHealth Agency (ANS) and the GIE Sesam-Vitale.

There are three key benefits from having your services listed in the directory:

  • Our referencing process guarantees the quality of your service, by making sure it meets all the security, ethics and interoperability requirements needed;
  • Your service will be visible to all citizens who log into their Health Space;
  • You have access to the My Health Space database, with the user’s consent.

So you want to be referred in My Health Space? The eHealth Agency is here to assist you along the way:

  • The Convergence platform is a tool made available to software publishers to evaluate their project’s conformity to the Technical Doctrine for Digital Health
  • Our team of experts is also available to support you and answer your questions during your evaluation process.
