Access Your Medical records anytime, anywhere

Prescriptions, blood test results, radiology reports, and certificates: these medical documents often get scattered in mailboxes or drawers. Their absence can complicate care during an emergency or when changing doctors.

“After my move, my new doctor was able to easily consult all my medical history thanks to My Health Space.It allowed him to take care of me faster, without my needing to re-explain everything,” says Maryline, 65, a resident of Amplepuis.

Once activated, My Health Space allows healthcare professionals to securely submit documents. patients can also add documents themselves. Access is possible at any time from a phone, tablet, or computer.

In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region,just over a quarter of insured individuals have already activated their space (25.3% at the end of 2024, according to health insurance). The activation rate is steadily increasing as the practical benefits become more widely known.

Healthcare professionals also encourage the use of My Health Space. Dr. Reynard, a general practitioner in Vindry-sur-Turdine, has made explaining it a priority in his practice:

“We take the time to explain to patients what My Health Space does concretely. With each consultation, we tell them that their prescriptions or examination results have been published there. We repeat this regularly, especially with chronic patients. Little by little, it becomes a habit. As with any othre medical follow-up, we provide support in its use. It is a secure, simple tool designed for them.”

For Parents, Simplified Management

Another lesser-known benefit is the ability for parents to manage the health space of their minor children. Since 2022, a My Health Space profile is automatically created for each child at birth, unless parents opt out. Specifically, once a birth is reported to health insurance, the parent who completed the process receives a letter or email.
