The Antoine Lacassagne Center in Nice has recently adopted the innovative remote monitoring solution, Satelia in oncology, to secure and facilitate the path of cancer patients even outside the medical facility.
An Innovative and Human Remote Monitoring Solution
Satelia oncology remote monitoring aims to enhance the care of cancer patients by providing them with remote medical follow-up. This innovative solution combines both digital and human aspects to ensure comprehensive and personalized patient monitoring, even outside the medical facility.
Before each treatment, whether it’s oral treatment at home or an injection at the medical center, the patient is asked to provide information about their general health status, symptoms, treatment adherence, any potential side effects, and quality of life. This information is collected via an online questionnaire or through a mobile app.
In case of any anomalies or reports of problems, the remote monitoring program quickly alerts the healthcare team, which can take appropriate action. This may include direct contact with the patient, requesting an in-person consultation, or sending advice through the remote monitoring platform to enhance the patient’s understanding of their disease and help them take self-care measures.
A Modern Approach Promoting Autonomy
This “Beyond the Walls” system by the Antoine Lacassagne Center ensures peace of mind for patients, their caregivers, and oncologists by offering continuous monitoring and tailored assistance. Thanks to this innovative program, patients are encouraged to take an active role in their own health by increasing their knowledge of their disease and strengthening their involvement in their care. It allows for early detection and treatment of adverse effects related to oral or injectable cancer treatments while the patient is at home.
For patients receiving injectable cancer treatments, once the questionnaire is completed and the biological results are analyzed by the medical team, the remote monitoring solution allows for validating the treatment in the Day Hospital before the patient arrives at the Center. This approach simplifies patient care, reducing waiting times and allowing hospital staff to save time.
Among the many solutions proposed to us, we chose the Satelia application because it meets a logic of needs for patients and public or private oncologists […] Satelia has built the same large-scale organization we had previously, which allows us to extend to all our patients what we were doing for only a part of them.

A Solution Suitable for Patients Facing Digital Divide
An essential aspect of the Satelia remote monitoring solution is its ability to adapt to patients facing a digital divide. Aware that some individuals may be less comfortable with technology, the company has developed an algorithm that continually assesses the relevance and refinement of its use, backed by scientific studies. Additionally, Satelia has implemented a team of nurses specialized in remote monitoring who provide telephone follow-up for patients less comfortable with digital tools. This ensures that all patients can benefit from this program, regardless of their level of familiarity with technology.
A Desire to Accelerate Its Development in Oncology
This partnership between Satelia and the Antoine Lacassagne Center marks the beginning of a desire for expansion of the company in the field of oncology. Indeed, Satelia aims to expand its offerings internationally by 2025, following distribution in France planned for 2024.
“Satelia intends to soon offer in oncology a program based on scientific evidence of quality of life improvement,” stated Dr. Pages.
In summary, by choosing the Satelia remote monitoring solution, the Antoine Lacassagne Center in Nice demonstrates its commitment to improving the quality of life for cancer patients by offering modern care, focusing on the patient and promoting autonomy. Thanks to this innovative approach, patients are more engaged in their own health while benefiting from regular and personalized medical follow-up, even outside the hospital.
