Tessan brings teleconsultation within everyone's reach

Discover Tessan's new offers as soon as possible!

‍

Since 2017, Tessan has been developing innovative situations that enable caregivers and municipalities to offer residents alternatives to the sometimes complicated classic office consultation.

‍

At a time when teleconsultation is becoming an increasingly important part of French people's daily lives, and especially since the start of the current health crisis, Tessan is offering new solutions to make telemedicine as democratic as possible in a wide range of fields.

‍

Different formulas for different needs

‍

Tessan now offers several packages designed to encourage healthcare staff to discover and offer teleconsultation to their patients. The packages available are as follows:

‍

• The freemium package: designed to enable practitioners to test teleconsultation from a computer, the freemium package offers pharmacists 6 months' free access to teleconsultation. This formula, which includes only a computer, enables pharmacies to offer a remote consultation service to their customers without having to install a booth.
  
  
• The medium formula: more advanced than the freemium formula, the medium formula provides pharmacists with a computer supplied by Tessan, equipped with four connected devices. Once installed in a separate room, this computer will enable pharmacists to discover teleconsultation. Thanks to its briefcase format, the computer can also be easily transported to accompany doctors or nurses during home consultations, for example.
  
  
• The premium package: while the medium package introduces patients to teleconsultation and how it works, the premium package completely revolutionizes the patient's usual care pathway. Using a teleconsultation terminal or booth, patients will be put in touch with a qualified and competent doctor who, thanks to the seven connected devices included, will be able to make a precise diagnosis and issue a prescription if necessary.

‍

These formulas enable any organization wishing to do so (pharmacies, town halls, EHPAD, etc.) to set up simple solutions adapted to their establishment, enabling local residents to be put in touch with a general practitioner or specialist in less than fifteen minutes. This is an ideal solution, particularly in so-called "medical desert" areas, where it is difficult to obtain medical treatment under the best conditions.

‍

A goal: to deploy teleconsultation as widely as possible

‍

The packages offered by Tessan may enable pharmacies, town halls or practitioners to discover how teleconsultation works in stages, but this is not the main aim of these packages.

In fact, Tessan's aim is the same as when it created the medical cabin: to provide French people with better access to healthcare through teleconsultation, and thus help to eradicate medical deserts. In France, medical deserts are unfortunately still widespread, preventing many citizens from receiving timely medical care.

By offering more compact alternatives to the medical booth (kiosk, case, software alone, etc.), these formulas are designed to enable small pharmacies and town halls to equip themselves with teleconsultation devices, even if they don't have the space to install a booth on their premises. As space is often a problem in small establishments located in rural areas, where medical deserts are also more prevalent, it was essential for Tessan to offer an alternative solution.

Who has access to these medical innovations?

The equipment offered by Tessan has the advantage of being completely autonomous: the presence of a health specialist is not necessary for the consultation to run smoothly.

Thanks to this, it is perfectly possible to install a teleconsultation booth or terminal in a pharmacy, of course, but also in a town hall, an EHPAD or a hub such as a railway station or airport, for example.

Today, over a hundred pharmacies in France have chosen to equip themselves with a teleconsultation booth, enabling patients to consult a specialist quickly when needed.

Stimulating both interest and questioning, these booths are much in demand by patients, who say they appreciate the speed with which they can contact a general practitioner or specialist (around 15 minutes' waiting time), as well as the ease of use of the connected equipment located inside the booth.

In conclusion...

While medical deserts are still widespread in France, preventing a large number of patients from accessing care under optimum conditions, there is no doubt that innovative alternative solutions are playing a major role in eradicating this major problem.
