About ROFIM

ROFIM operates a collaborative telemedicine platform designed to connect healthcare professionals, streamline patient care pathways, and expedite medical diagnoses. The company was founded in Marseille, France, in 2018 by Dr. David Bensoussan, a practicing vascular surgeon, and Emilie Mercadal, who serves as CEO. The idea originated from Dr. Bensoussan's firsthand experience with the lack of secure and efficient tools for sharing complex medical data, such as scans and MRIs, among colleagues.

The company's core offering is a secure, web-based and mobile platform that provides several modules for healthcare professionals. These include tele-expertise for specialist consultations, teleconsultation (including assisted teleconsultation), and virtual multidisciplinary team meetings (e-RCP), which are crucial in fields like oncology. The platform facilitates the secure sharing of all types of medical documents, featuring an integrated DICOM viewer for medical imaging. This functionality aims to connect practitioners across different locations, from private practice to hospitals, thereby strengthening the link between city and hospital care and addressing medical deserts. ROFIM primarily serves hospitals, clinics, and networks of healthcare professionals. The business model is based on a monthly subscription, which is modular and degressive based on the number of services and licenses chosen. This fee includes user support, training, and maintenance. Clinicians can also use a freemium model for certain features.

A significant milestone for ROFIM was securing €5 million in a Series A funding round in October 2021. The round was led by Orange Ventures and Banque des Territoires, with participation from other investors including Region Sud Investissement. This capital injection was aimed at expanding the development and commercial teams, and furthering research and development. The company's platform is utilized by over 900 healthcare institutions and tens of thousands of medical professionals. In 2023, ROFIM became a "Société à Mission," legally embedding its social and environmental objectives into its corporate strategy.
