NEXUS/FRANCE

What NEXUS/FRANCE does

NEXUS/FRANCE is the French operating subsidiary of NEXUS AG, a publicly listed German healthcare-IT company headquartered in Donaueschingen. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Grenoble with secondary offices in Bellerive-sur-Allier (Vichy), the company develops a 100% web-based, modular e-health software ecosystem for hospitals and clinics across France. Its core products are organized around four solution lines: Emed (a Dossier Patient Informatisé / Electronic Patient Record with extensive modules covering consultation, hemovigilance, maternity, scheduling, and clinical documentation), Optim/OPM (operating-room management including planning, regulation, in-room traceability, prosthesis tracking, and CCAM coding), Optim/SPM (sterilization management with instrument tracking and traceability), and Optim/CEM (biomedical equipment maintenance / GMAO). Integration with national French health infrastructure is built in via connectors to MSSanté and DMP. NEXUS/FRANCE serves more than 700 healthcare facilities in France through a 70-employee organization, with go-to-market primarily via direct enterprise sales and reference positions with the three major centralized healthcare purchasing cooperatives (UGAP, UniHA, RESAH).

The company earns revenue principally through enterprise software licensing and subscriptions (quote-based, with a 30% deposit at order and the balance payable at production deployment), supplemented by professional services (training and deployment billed monthly) and hardware/consumables sales (tablets, barcode readers, printers). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contract-specific. Customers include hospital groups such as Groupe UNEOS, the Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco, and a broad base of French public and private healthcare establishments. The company's Emed DPI has achieved Sécur du numérique en santé referencing under both Vague 1 (2022) and Vague 2 (December 2025) by the ANS, validating compliance with French national digital health standards and positioning NEXUS/FRANCE within a government-validated procurement framework. Operational signals through December 2025—including active product version releases, ongoing webinar series, participation in SANTEXPO and other healthcare events, and institutional partnerships with ANS, DNS, and Numeum—indicate an actively operating business with sustained institutional engagement rather than a static or declining entity.
