Korian is strengthening its local networks in line with its commitments to social and environmental responsibility1

Regulatory News:

Korian (Paris:KORI), the first integrated European group for the care and support services for elderly and fragile people, continues to strengthen its local networks in the regions where it is present, in order to be able to offer, in line with its corporate project "Le Soin à Cœur ", forms of local support adapted to different situations and respectful of the free choice of seniors and their loved ones.

Integrating facilities within digital ecosystems

Following on from its developments in 2019 to facilitate outpatient or at home follow-up of fragile people or experiencing a loss of autonomy and allow effective coordination of health professionals working with them (Oriane, Omedys, Move in Med in France and Over in Italy), Korian has entered into two new innovative partnerships.

The first one aims to accelerate digitalization in medico-social or health facilities.

• Korian has entered into exclusive talks with mutual group VYV to take a majority stake in Technosens, a startup developing simple and ergonomic digital solutions, that strengthen residents’ and patients’ remote links with their loved ones, and improve coordination and working conditions for care teams.
  This Grenoble-based start-up created in 2017 has designed a unique solution in the market, E-Lio, which consists of a platform allowing three-way interaction between Residents / Patients - Families – Staff through a box installed in each room and connected to the television. This solution has been tested and developed for more than a year in three of the Korian group's facilities in France. Thanks to the partnership concluded, it will now be able to be gradually rolled-out in all of the Group's nursing homes and clinics in France and then in Europe. It can also be adapted for home use.

The second one aims to facilitate local links with liberal health professionals working at home or in a facility.

• As such, Korian has decided to enter into a partnership with the start-up Medicalib, by taking, alongside its founders and Day One Entrepreneurs and Partners, a minority stake in the capital of this company.
  Medicalib is a startup that has developed a platform to connect patients with home care professionals (nurses, physiotherapists and midwives) using a geolocation system, allowing patients wanting to book home visits to get a call-back in less than one hour. The platform features 10,000 government-certified independent healthcare professionals, accredited by the health insurance system, in 1,200 towns, and has already handled more than 220,000 care requests since it was created.
