Ducal brings together healthcare IT and artificial intelligence experts. Together, we build sovereign, open-source, and AI-native solutions for healthcare organizations and practitioners.
French citizens' health data must stay in France, on certified infrastructure. This is non-negotiable.
Open-source building blocks are more auditable, more sustainable, and more cost-effective than proprietary solutions.
AI boosts our productivity, not our opacity. Our deliverables are transparent, auditable, and documented.
We favor proven solutions and time-to-value. Technology is a means, not an end.
Over 10 years in digital health. We understand your regulatory constraints from the inside.
Lean structure, fast decisions, single point of contact. You will never speak to a salesperson, always to an expert.
Artificial intelligence accelerates our work. Field expertise ensures the quality of the result. The two are inseparable.
Over 10 years in digital health. We know the constraints of hospitals, CPTS (local health communities), care networks, and regional health agencies. AI doesn't replace this listening — it lets us deploy it faster.
Artificial intelligence generates the code, an expert supervises it. Every line goes through automated security scans and human review. The result: more controls, not fewer.
HDS (Health Data Hosting), GDPR, RGAA (accessibility): compliance is not an end-of-project audit. Automated tools verify every change before it reaches production. SecNumCloud sovereign hosting.
A digital project doesn't end at delivery. Maintenance, updates, monitoring, support: we stay by your side long-term, with a single contact who knows your project.
AI reduces development time without sacrificing quality. What used to cost hundreds of thousands of euros and months of work can be delivered in weeks for a fraction of the price.
We don't just build software — we help solve digital health challenges. Every solution is designed for the daily reality of healthcare professionals and patients.
A collective of complementary experts, united by the conviction that healthcare IT deserves better.
