GRADES ESEA Nouvelle-Aquitaine

What GRADES ESEA Nouvelle-Aquitaine does

GRADES ESEA Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Groupement Régional d'Appui au Développement de la e-Santé) is the official regional e-health institutional actor for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France, operating as a public-interest group (GIP - Groupement d'Intérêt Public) under the governance of ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Council. The entity was restructured around 2019-2020 and underwent a major transformation in 2024-2025 to deliver specialized digital health services and territorial support to liberal healthcare professionals, sanitary establishments (hospitals, clinics, MCO, SMR, HAD), medico-social structures (EHPAD, disability services), coordinated care structures (DAC, CPTS, PTA), patients, and health students across all 12 departments of the region, served through three proximity agencies in Bordeaux, Limoges, and Poitiers.

The product portfolio comprises twelve-plus interconnected digital health platforms: ELEA / ELEA+ (Moodle Workplace-based e-learning with 40+ training pathways and 19,300+ registered users), Paaco-Globule (regional interprofessional care coordination service), MSSanté (secure health messaging), Krypton / DRIMbox (regional medical imaging exchange), Identitovigilance and Egide Santé (identity management for INS / RPPS), TéléNA (emergency tele-expertise), HospiConnect (hospital HIS connectivity), ESMS Numérique (medico-social digital transformation programme), Boussole Innovation (regional innovation portal co-proposed with ARS), and the Centre Régional de Ressources Cyber (cybersecurity with PRIS incident response, MonAideCyber diagnostics, vulnerability scanning, phishing simulation). An AI assistant named ALBERT supports administrative and decision tasks. The underlying technology stack relies on Drupal 10 for the main portal, Moodle Workplace for ELEA, Matomo for analytics, RustDesk for remote assistance, and PRO Santé Connect for CPS/e-CPS authentication; infrastructure is hosted by Systonic (Pessac) and Enovation (Bordeaux).

The business model is a public-interest GIP funded by national programs — Ségur de la Santé, France Relance, NextGenerationEU — and by the Regional Council, channeled through ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine; all services are provided free of charge to eligible healthcare actors in the region, supported by a freemium go-to-market that combines self-serve digital channels (portal, ELEA), direct field engagement via territorial development officers, and community/ambassador networks. Certifications include RGPD compliance, Qualiopi for training quality, and partial RGAA 4 accessibility (86% of criteria met, January 2025).
