Patient1st

What Patient1st does

Patient1st is a French digital health company headquartered in Saint-Raphaël, founded in 2023, that operates a cardiovascular health management platform focused on hypertension (HTA) monitoring. The platform targets two primary user types: physicians managing hypertensive patients and the patients themselves. Its offering consists of four integrated components: a digital blood pressure logbook that replaces paper-based tracking; an AI-powered automatic hypertension classification system that categorizes readings against medical guidelines; a patient-facing mobile/web application called Preva (preva.app) for self-tracking, reminders, and therapeutic education; and a physician portal (doctor.patient1st.ai) for accessing structured patient data, automated key metrics, and cardiovascular risk score calculations.

The core technology is a web-based platform with structured data capture, automated BP analysis, and two-way data sharing between patients and physicians. The company's value proposition centers on eliminating manual verification, double data entry, and transcription errors, with a claimed physician capacity extension to 800+ hypertensive patients per physician based on testimonial evidence. The platform is RGPD/GDPR compliant, with formal data subject rights processes and a French-law-governed terms of service.

The business model is in transition and currently ambiguous in the public record. While the CGU states the platform is 'free,' the FAQ references subscription cancellation ('abonnement'), and the GTM motion is a demo-led direct sales approach targeting physicians via 15-minute Cal.com booking. No pricing tiers, no paying customer logos, no revenue figures, and no funding rounds are disclosed. The company is small (6 employees), founder-led with no public management team listings, and operates exclusively in the French/European market with no international expansion signals.
