Simango

What Simango does

Simango SAS is a French private company founded in 2018 in Rennes that develops a gamified digital simulation training platform for healthcare professionals. Its core product is the Plateforme Simango — a Unity-based 3D simulation platform that places healthcare workers in immersive virtual hospital and EHPAD environments where they identify errors (using a 'chambre des erreurs' concept), apply clinical protocols, and receive immediate corrective feedback within a Briefing–Scénario–Débriefing pedagogical framework. The catalog comprises approximately 30 modules covering bientraitance, identitovigilance, infection risk, medication circuit safety, dose calculation, pain management, cybersecurity, patient rights, transfusion safety, end-of-life care, and HAS/quality certification topics, with several modules co-developed by named clinical experts from institutions such as CHU de Nantes, AP-HP, Hôpital Foch, and CPIAS.

The business model is a sales-led enterprise SaaS subscription, priced at €40+ per learner annually with quote-based contracts tailored to establishment size and module selection, and bundled with a two-week implementation cycle. The go-to-market targets three French healthcare verticals — Établissements sanitaires (hospitals, clinics), EHPAD (elderly residential care homes), and IFSI/IFAS (nursing and aide-soignant training institutes) — served through a direct enterprise sales team, customer success managers, free 30-minute demonstrations, and downloadable catalogues. The company reports 230,000+ healthcare professionals trained, 450+ establishments equipped, 93%+ completion rates, 90% learner satisfaction, and 95% client renewal, with Qualiopi certification (September 2024) and DPC-aligned modules supporting eligibility for French public training funds. Simango has raised approximately €4.7M across two rounds (2020 and May 2023), with Vivalto Santé as a strategic investor.
