Medaviz Commitment to Caregiver Wellbeing
Medaviz, a community of over 13,000 healthcare professionals, has been collaborating with practitioners for more than 10 years to develop accessible and human-centered (tele)medicine. The organization acknowledges the significant strain on French healthcare professionals due to administrative burdens, increasing patient volumes, and systemic pressures.
medaviz aims to address thes challenges through its teleconsultation tool, which offers a more flexible organization of time with patients, and its slow ethical teleconsultation solution, providing opportunities to supplement income and practice in a more mindful way.
“Our objective, as a committed and caring e-health player, is to practice fair, responsible and quality telemedicine which can only rely on practitioners who are given the means to practice more conscious, more attentive, more human medicine, even at a distance from patients, and to reconnect with what is essential,” states Medaviz.
Marie, Medaviz’s Communications manager, joined the organization in 2020 after over 13 years in the patient quality of life sector, becoming Communications Manager in November 2024.
