Paris-based e-health startup happytal has been acquired by La Poste and becomes a subsidiary of the group. La Poste has been operating in the health sector since 2017 and, through its subsidiary Asten Santé, it provides services to chronic patients at home, provides online appointments and aids in their post-hospitalisation with services.
With this collaboration, both companies aim to bring a range of support to hospitalised patients with digital services to maximise comfortability.
happytal will work with other health subsidiaries of La Poste’s to do the follow-ups before, during, and after hospitalisation with the local services the group is already offering.
La Poste’s goal is to boost happytal into the principal intermediary for hospitals to coordinate and streamline its service offer for hospitals and clinics.
