Douaisis Health Platform

What Douaisis Health Platform does

Douaisis Health Platform (Plateforme Santé Douaisis) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901), headquartered in Douai and operating across 64 communes of the Douaisis territory. It was formed in December 2007 through the merger of Pôle Santé du Douaisis (founded 2000) and Oscar Cancérologie Douai (founded 2005). The organization functions as a territorial health coordination platform rather than a technology product company: it listens to, orients, follows, and accompanies individuals facing cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, mental health concerns, welfare-benefit (RSA) insertion challenges, and the need for adapted physical activity.

Its service portfolio comprises ten coordinated dispositifs. Patient-facing programs include Espace Ressources Cancers (free personalized support for cancer patients and relatives, open since 2009), PasApa (prevention combining adapted physical activity and dietary guidance), Éducation Thérapeutique du Patient (therapeutic education for diabetes and obesity), Sport-Santé sur Ordonnance (prescribed physical activity for long-term conditions), and Phosphor'Âge (elderly fall prevention). Institutional-coordination programs include Atelier Santé Ville (priority-neighborhood health promotion since 2014), Conseil Local de Santé Mentale (mental health coordination since 2020), the Contrat Local de Santé (signed December 2021), the Maison Sport Santé label (granted 2021), and the ASPIRE multidisciplinary plateau for RSA beneficiaries launched in September 2022. It also delivers PSSM-accredited Mental Health First Aid training (since 2022) and custom fee-based training workshops (Prestations sur mesure) as an organisme de formation.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: a standard WordPress-derived website hosted on OVH with Let's Encrypt 128-bit SSL and Google Analytics; no mobile app, public API, SDK, or proprietary platform is disclosed. End-user core services are 100% free; revenue is generated primarily through multi-institutional public grants (ARS Hauts-de-France, ANCT, Département du Nord, Région Hauts-de-France, Douaisis Agglo, Cœur d'Ostrevent, CPAM Lille-Douai, municipalities, Ligue Contre le Cancer), supplemented by paid custom training (Prestations sur mesure), Maison Sport Santé membership (€45 per 3-month program), and income-based Sport-Santé sur Ordonnance pricing (from €1/week). The association is governed by a Conseil d'Administration under Directrice Elodie Evrard, who also serves as Data Protection Officer.

Revenue model

1. Public Institutional Funding: As a non-profit association (loi 1901), the organization operates primarily through grants and funding from public institutions including ARS Hauts-de-France, Département du Nord, Région Hauts-de-France, ANCT, Douaisis Agglo, Cœur d'Ostrevent, CPAM, and Ville de Douai. This constitutes the primary revenue source enabling free service delivery.
2. Custom Training and Consulting Services: The organization acts as a professional training provider (organisme de formation) and offers fee-based custom services outside of standard programs. These are billed when services fall outside funded dispositifs. Services include dietetics, physical activity, mental health, environment, and communication workshops delivered at partner structures.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge Française: Large French non-profit delivering health, social, and community services with regional branches; comparable as a multi-program publicly-funded health/social non-profit, although operating at much greater scale and broader mission scope.
• Médecins du Monde: Major French health non-profit running community health programs targeting vulnerable populations; comparable mission around health access for underserved groups, though predominantly international in focus.
• France Assos Santé: National umbrella organization representing approved health system user associations in France - the formal national-level interlocutor for patient/health associations like Plateforme Santé Douaisis with regional delegations engaging institutional funders.

Direct peers

• Fédération Française des Diabétiques: National federation of regional diabetes patient associations delivering patient education and support programs, directly comparable to Plateforme Santé Douaisis's Patient Therapeutic Education (ETP) Diabetes pathway for Type II diabetes patients.
• Ligue contre le Cancer: National non-profit operating a network of Espaces Ressources Cancers (cancer patient resource spaces) across France, with local committees (e.g., Comité Nord) that match Plateforme Santé Douaisis's Espace Ressources Cancers offering for cancer patients and families.
• Réseau National des Maisons Sport Santé: National network of government-labeled Maisons Sport Santé delivering adapted physical activity for patients with chronic conditions - the same federal designation awarded to Plateforme Santé Douaisis's Maison Sport Santé du Douaisis label in 2021.

Others

• Association Addictions France: National non-profit (formerly ANPAA) delivering addiction prevention and harm reduction services across French regions, comparable as another long-standing publicly-funded prevention/awareness non-profit in the health ecosystem.
• UNAASS: National Union of Approved Health System User Associations aggregated under France Assos Santé; relevant ecosystem-level comparator defining the policy and regulatory engagement space in which Plateforme Santé Douaisis operates.
• MGEN Action Santé: Major French mutual health insurer running community health prevention and screening initiatives through its MGEN Action Santé program - adjacent thematic peer in community health prevention rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• CRCDC Hauts-de-France: Regional cancer screening coordination center for Hauts-de-France, partner of Plateforme Santé Douaisis's Espace Ressources Cancers on Mars Bleu, Octobre Rose, and cervical screening campaigns. Operates regionally with same territorial scope.
