In brief: Lifen raises US$22.7M for its healthcare messaging platform

French startup, Lifen, is raising US$22.7 million funding round.
Partech is leading the round with Idinvest Partners and Majycc eSanté Invest, together with existing investors, Serena and Daphni.
Most of the healthcare industry in France still relies on physical mails with stamps and everything.
Lifen aims to help practitioners and hospitals switch to digital letters instead to save time and money.
While it’s easy to send a digital receipt instead of printing one, it gets a bit more complicated with health information.
Companies must comply with strict regulation and make sure that everything remains confidential.
The startup claims that everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the company can’t access your data.
Lifen acts as an interface with multiple electronic messaging protocols to send a mail using those protocols in a few clicks.
The startup manages a directory of healthcare professionals and also handles read receipts.
When it comes to receiving messages, Lifen acts as a unified inbox that lets you receive messages, documents and reports from various channels — it essentially looks like an email interface with an inbox and an outbox.
The platform also has other functions like export, sort, and automation.
