I spent more than twenty years in hospitals, in physical and rehabilitation medicine. I led a department, accompanied hundreds of patients, and trained generations of healthcare professionals. It was a rich, passionate, intense career. Yet over time, I realized something essential: autonomy is not won within hospital walls. It is gained — or lost — in everyday home life.
A patient leaving rehabilitation could stand, walk, and dream again. But once at home, without structured support, without reliable assistance, without a safety net, progress would quickly erode. A fall, a missed medication, an unbalanced diet — and months of effort could be undone.
That is why I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I did not stop being a doctor — I chose to place my experience in another role: that of an autonomy coordinator.
Concretely, this means I no longer just assess and prescribe. I make sure that life projects are feasible. I organize, plan, and support. I help families find care assistants who are skilled, reliable, and respectful. I ensure caregivers are supported. I structure the link with healthcare providers. And I integrate a crucial safety net: teleassistance, which provides reassurance even when no one is physically present.
This is what I built with Jamacare. A platform and a service based on three pillars:
The recognition and support of care assistants,
Expert and proactive coordination,
Integrated, reassuring teleassistance.
I deeply believe autonomy is preserved through this combination: human care, organization, and technology. And this is exactly what I want to bring to families, in France and worldwide.
