Design a more human, seamless, and sustainable healthcare system

Designing a More Human, Efficient, and Sustainable Healthcare System 

At Aktan, we support public and private health stakeholders in the design, experimentation, and deployment of solutions that transform care pathways. 
Our belief: The success of a transformation project does not solely depend on tools or protocols, but on the ability to listen to users, streamline collaboration across professions, and rethink organizations. 

Our Missions: From Strategy to Implementation 

We are involved in all stages of the transformation cycle: 

  1. Explore and Understand Usage 
    Identify the real needs of patients, caregivers, and managers. Analyze irritants, behaviors, and structural constraints. 

  2. Design Tomorrow's Experiences and Services

    Combine design, strategy, and innovation to create solutions that are simultaneously viable, useful, and desirable: new care pathways, digital services, organizational models. 

  3. Support Implementation 

  4. Co-build Pilots, engage teams, evaluate results, and prepare for scaling up

Our promise: to help healthcare institutions and partners move from projects to tangible changes, from pilot to measurable impact. 

Our Key Expertise 

Transformation of Patient Pathways 

Rethinking care pathways from start to finish to improve coordination, quality, and experience. 

Organizational and Managerial Innovation 

Supporting the transformation of structures and teams: new management practices, collaborative work, culture of innovation. 

Digitalization and Connected Health 

Co-designing digital tools and connected devices with end users: patients, doctors, nurses. 

Patient and Employee Experience 

Aligning the quality of care and quality of work life: training, service culture, design of spaces and interfaces. 

Why Aktan? 

A Hybrid, Expert, and Integrated Team 

Our consultants, designers, and human sciences researchers work at the heart of hospital and healthcare environments. 
Accustomed to navigating between public innovation, regulations, care culture, and field constraints, they offer solutions that are both concrete and sustainable. 

A Systemic Approach 

We consider each project as a human, technological, and organizational ecosystem
This comprehensive vision allows us to identify key levers: coordination, skills, data, governance, care culture. 

A Co-Construction Focused Approach 

We conduct workshops bringing together patients, caregivers, managers, partners, and management to accelerate engagement and transformation
