- Missing regulation and governance structure can limit quality, IT security and protection of data privacy

A cloud service fosters secure data storage and increases quality, IT security and protection of data privacy. This service is notably offered under the EU & Luxemburg regulations for data protection and data privacy, and can be refined at country level when relevant. Moreover, data is stored in Europe.
Readily usable & accessible everywhere
Software as a service enables healthcare providers to use the digital-health tools everywhere in the world. SATMED can be used immediately by its partners where the internet is available. For projects in underserved and remote areas, SATMED improves their connection by providing them with internet connectivity via satellite.
Moreover, some selected tools also work off-line and thus offer a viable access to partners located in remote or under-served areas that lack a reliable internet connection.
Affordable
With the ambition of being accessible to all members of the Global Health Community, SATMED has been designed to be affordable and also provides help to smaller organizations, as well as underserved and remote areas to cover their operating costs.
The software-as-a-service concept indeed refrains from using licensed software, does not require costly implementation and maintenance, and thus contributes to a minimal cost structure.
