What Hocoia does
Hocoia is a French health-tech company headquartered in Strasbourg that builds and operates connected mobile medical units — primarily the Médicobus (Hocobus) and the MammoBus — to deliver screening, prevention, and primary-care services in French medical deserts. The company's core offering pairs custom-built vehicles under 3.5 tonnes (requiring only a standard B driving licence) with more than ten connected biomedical sensors (stethoscope, otoscope, spirometer, ECG, dermatoscope, ultrasound, etc.), enabling a hybrid care model in which a nurse or paramedic assists the patient on-site while a physician consults remotely via the proprietary HocoVisio teleconsultation platform. The MammoBus extends this model into dedicated breast cancer screening and is positioned by the company as the world's smallest mobile mammography unit.
Underlying the hardware is a software stack composed of HocoApp (web application for appointment scheduling, document management, and information sharing across patients, nurses, doctors, and medical coordinators), HocoVisio (augmented teleconsultation with real-time medical sensor data integration and encrypted transmission), and HocoSlide, a patented ceiling-rail tele-expertise mounting system. The platform integrates with Doctolib for patient appointment booking and is GDPR-compliant, with data hosted via Webflow.
Hocoia monetizes through a hybrid model: one-time sales of Médicobus and MammoBus vehicles (quote-based, 4-6 month delivery, often financed via ARS, regional, departmental, or mutuelle subsidies); recurring software licensing for HocoApp and HocoVisio bundled with vehicle purchases; and professional-service screening and prevention day campaigns commissioned by local governments, enterprises, and mutuelles. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting CPTS networks, hospitals, mutuelles, and large employers, supplemented by channel partnerships (Resah central purchasing reference, MNT) and broad earned-media coverage (TF1, BFM Business, France 3, regional press). Active deployments span Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Grand Est, and Île-de-France, with named customers including Renault, Ipsen, Groupama, MACIF, MGEN/VyV, HEC Paris, Hôpitaux de Saverne, multiple CPTS, and various communautés de communes.

Hocoia competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Qare: Qare is a French teleconsultation platform that overlaps with HocoVisio on the software layer, offering remote physician consultations as a competitor in the same mutuelle and enterprise telehealth channels.
- Alan: Alan is a French digital health insurance company increasingly bundling telehealth and prevention services for its members — an emerging mutuelle-side competitor that could partner with or disintermediate Hocoia's mutuelle channel.
- Lifen: Lifen is a French digital health platform focused on secure medical document exchange and care coordination — adjacent to HocoApp's document management and care coordination capabilities for healthcare professionals.
- TokTokDoc: TokTokDoc is a French telemedicine platform specializing in remote consultations for healthcare facilities and nursing homes — competing with HocoVisio in the tele-expertise segment and sharing similar hospital/CPTS customer profiles.
Broad incumbents
- Withings: Withings is a French leader in connected medical devices (scales, blood pressure monitors, sleep mats) — overlapping with Hocoia's "10+ connected medical devices" suite as both consumer-grade and clinical-grade connected health hardware providers.
- Doctolib: Doctolib is the dominant French telehealth/appointment booking platform integrated into Hocoia's workflow. While broader in scope, it represents the incumbent teleconsultation infrastructure against which HocoVisio competes for physician adoption.
- Maincare Solutions: Maincare is a French health IT vendor providing EHR, telemedicine, and care coordination platforms to hospitals and regional health agencies — a broader incumbent competing for the same public-sector health IT procurement budgets.
- Cegedim Santé: Cegedim Santé is a major French health IT vendor offering practice management, telemedicine, and electronic health record solutions — competing for the same CPTS, hospital, and physician customer base as HocoApp/HocoVisio.
Direct peers
- Loxamed: Loxamed operates mobile medical units and connected health solutions in France, directly competing with Hocoia's Médicobus offering in the same mobile care delivery category and customer segments (CPTS, enterprises, mutuelles).
- Tessan: Tessan deploys connected health kiosks and teleconsultation stations in pharmacies across France — directly comparable to Hocoia as an alternative distributed physical access point for telemedicine and preventive care services.
