Ingenico selected to participate in the major e-Health project in Germany
Ingenico will provide the embedded software upgrade to comply with the new
generation infrastructure
Paris, December 18(th) 2013 - Ingenico (Euronext: FR0000125346), leading
provider of payment solutions, has been selected by T-Systems and a consortium
led by CompuGroup Medical, Booz & Company and KoCo Konnector , which have both
been awarded the upgrade of the health insurance system project by Gematik
("telematics infrastructure").
Each consortium will develop, set up and operate a test area in Germany, in
order to validate the future value-added services, such as online evaluation,
update of patient data, as well as qualified electronic signature (QES). Based
on the new patient data card and the Healthcare professional card, e-Health
terminals will contribute significantly to the infrastructure's security.
Ingenico will develop new embedded security software for its range of e-Health
terminals, which will enable installed terminals to connect to the upcoming
nationwide Telematics infrastructure in Germany.
With more than 150,000 active terminals, representing nearly half of the market,
Ingenico Healthcare/e-ID is the market leader for e-Health terminal solutions in
Germany. The Group is also the market leader in France for e-Health card
solutions for doctors, nurses and also pharmacies. In France, Ingenico already
operates 45 million secure patient Health card update requests per year thanks
to its fleet of dedicated terminals deployed in pharmacies, hospitals and other
public areas.
Oliver Neufuß, Managing Director of Ingenico Healthcare GmbH commented: "We are
proud to be part of this wide ranged first level testing which is intended to
lead to the nationwide deployment of the Telematics infrastructure in Germany.
This clearly demonstrates the ability of our technology to be the future
reference and confirms our leadership on this market."
