Lifen, la startup qui digitalise l’hôpital sans jamais apparaître à l’écran

Lifen's Developments in Healthcare Digitalization

Founded in 2015, Lifen is a company focused on the digitalization of the French healthcare system. As of 2025, Lifen has achieved profitability in its primary business line, Lifen Care, and reports an annual recurring revenue of 20 million euros. The company's strategy revolves around the national industrialization of medical data flows.

Lifen initially enhanced communication among healthcare professionals through its solution, Lifen Documents . This tool allows for the secure transmission of medical reports via secure channels and integrates these documents into the Shared Medical Record (DMP). It is operational in over 800 healthcare facilities, facilitating the monthly transmission of over 4 million documents, 95% of which are digital.

Building on this, Lifen developed Lifen Integration , which ensures reliable integration of documents into Electronic Patient Records (DPI). This solution automates patient identity validation and key information structuring. In 2024, over 5 million documents were integrated into DPIs, enhancing administrative and medical team efficiency while ensuring record completeness.

Lifen employs an AI trained on over 75 million medical documents, providing real-time predictions to extract useful data for various healthcare processes. This AI is designed to enhance data detection, structuring, and security.

Research Infrastructure and Partnerships

In 2023, Lifen launched Lifen DataLab to support multicentric clinical research projects. This platform structures patient data from DPIs using AI and provides a continuously updated database, facilitating research endeavors.

Lifen collaborates with key private groups and 14 university hospitals, supporting research cohorts involving up to 10,000 patients with chronic respiratory diseases by the end of 2025.

Lifen has raised nearly 80 million euros across four funding rounds, including a Series C round of 50 million euros in 2021. The company receives support from Creadev, Lauxera Capital Partners, Partech, Serena, and MACSF, along with backing from the France 2030 program.

Lifen's approach in the HealthTech landscape focuses on the backend infrastructure, emphasizing data management within hospital information systems. This strategy differentiates Lifen from other companies providing complete hospital systems, as it offers modular and interoperable solutions.
