CARE FACTORY

What CARE FACTORY does

Care Factory is a Paris-based Real-World Evidence (RWE) data analytics consultancy founded in 2015, operating as a subsidiary of Alira Health following a 2020 merger. The firm specializes in analyzing French healthcare databases — notably the SNDS (Système National des Données de Santé) and the Health Data Hub — and delivers medico-economic studies, predictive modeling, and real-time healthcare data solutions. Its client base spans four segments: Healthcare Industries and e-Health companies, Public Sector entities, Healthcare Providers, and Payers, with publicly referenced customers including SNITEM, INOGEN EUROPE BV, and FERRER.

Technically, Care Factory builds predictive and preventive models for care delivery, integrating claims data and clinical data drawn from French national healthcare databases. Its analytics work is conducted under a regulatory perimeter that includes GDPR compliance by design and adherence to the MR-006 reference methodology for PMSI (hospital stay) data processing — a combination that enables handling of sensitive health data in a tightly regulated environment and serves as a barrier to less-regulated entrants.

The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through analytical and consulting engagements rather than licensed software, with pricing tied to study scope and complexity. As a subsidiary of Alira Health, Care Factory gains international distribution and cross-selling opportunities through its parent's broader healthcare consulting footprint, while retaining a France-centric methodological core. The entity itself is registered as a French SAS with €1,000 nominal capital (RCS Paris 821556099), with Benjamin Chambon listed as legal representative.
