Founded four years ago by Victoire Bach and Matthias Lesage, Hopia positions itself as a key player in the organizational transformation of hospitals and clinics through explainable and adaptive artificial intelligence.
AI at the service of healthcare facilities and caregivers
Managing schedules in healthcare facilities consumes up to 80% of healthcare managers’ time, limiting their ability to focus on high-value tasks. Hopia offers a technological solution that simplifies this process using algorithms capable of optimizing schedules based on complex criteria: caregiver availability, workload balance, and care priorities.
“With Hopia, we aim to put people back at the center of the healthcare system by making schedules fairer and more stable, while freeing up time for managers and caregivers,” explains Victoire Bach, co-founder. Hopia’s explainable AI integrates complex, often implicit rules that structure hospital organizations. This innovative methodology is transforming team management sustainably.
Measurable results and tangible impact
In just four years, Hopia has supported over 1,700 users across 20 institutions, including Brest University Hospital, the Saint-Joseph Hospital Group, and Vivalto Santé.
Key results include:
- A reduction in time spent on scheduling management by 50% to 90%.
- Improved work-life quality through fair and stable schedules, significantly reducing turnover.
- A 3% to 7% increase in patient capacity with consistent resources, alongside a notable decrease in reliance on temporary staffing.
New ambitions for 2025
Building on its successes, Hopia plans to expand its solution to new segments such as nursing homes, radiology centers, and facilities for individuals with disabilities. The aim is to enhance its technology with a capacity-focused dimension, aligning available resources with real patient needs.
A new product, Hopia Parcours, is also under development. This tool aims to optimize care pathways based on resources and medical priorities, addressing disparities in patient care.
A funding round to fuel growth
To accelerate its deployment, Hopia recently raised €3.5 million in a funding round co-led by IRIS and Kurma Partners, joined by business angels specializing in tech and healthcare. This funding will enable the company to double its workforce by the end of 2025, recruiting commercial and technical talent, while strengthening its presence in the French market.
