What EMS is not: EMS is neither a diagnostic application, nor a medical device, nor a teleconsultation service for patients. It is an information, communication, training and coordination tool reserved for health professionals: medical decisions, diagnosis and prescribing remain the sole responsibility of the professional.
Why EMS
Quality care starts with well-trained, well-informed professionals.
Counterfeit medicines, illegal practice of medicine, outdated protocols, limited access to continuing education: these realities put patients at risk every day and undermine trust in the health system.
EMS gives health professionals a single space to train, verify, stay up to date and exchange — anywhere, including far from major urban centres.
What EMS offers
Ten services at the heart of medical practice.
Reserved for verified health professionals, EMS services cover the entire professional journey: training, verifying, prescribing, referring, publishing and advancing.
