360° recognition in healthcare

Patients, families and caregivers, all involved

In healthcare, recognition doesn't only come from managers. Patients and families have a great deal to express, and so do professionals among themselves. A simple QR code opens this gesture to everyone.

Messages are moderated, then read by the caregivers concerned, and kept as a wall of gratitude that can be revisited.
