Recosanté: Digital Public Service for Environmental Health Monitoring
Discover how Recosanté successfully created a digital public service to monitor environment and protect health, integrating scattered data sources and providing personalized recommendations.
🌍 A digital public service to monitor the environment and protect health with Recosanté
The Recosanté project is part of the 4th national environmental health plan "One environment, one health" (2021-2025). The goal was to create a digital public service capable of gathering and disseminating essential information about air quality, weather conditions, UV indices, and pollen risk, while providing reliable and personalized recommendations.
🏔️ Meeting the challenges of data integration and personalization for an effective public health application
The development of Recosanté presented several major challenges:
- Integration of scattered data: Aggregating information from multiple sources (Atmo France, Météo France, RNSA, etc.) while ensuring their consistency and accessibility within a single platform.
- Personalization of recommendations: Developing a system capable of providing advice tailored to users' specific needs based on real-time environmental data.
- Accessibility and ease of use: Designing a simple and intuitive mobile application, capable of informing a wide audience while enabling informed decision-making to protect health.
To meet these challenges, the Recosanté team adopted an agile approach, with support from Selego. We developed an MVP in a few months, iterating several times to adjust features and ensure a smooth and efficient user experience.
📈 An evolving application to protect public health
Since its launch, Recosanté has become an essential tool for thousands of French citizens who want to protect their health against environmental risks. With increasing adoption rates and continuously enriched features, Recosanté exemplifies a successful collaboration between BetaGouv and Selego, demonstrating our commitment to improving public health through digital innovation.
