At the time this page was published, Certyneo is not an HDS host. For documents containing personal health data, we recommend that the relevant institutions discuss the most suitable scenario with our team (dedicated deployment through a partner HDS host, or limiting use to documents with no health data). HDS certification is on our public roadmap.

Yes. Article L1111-4 of the French Public Health Code requires free, informed and revocable consent but prescribes no particular form. Article 1367 of the Civil Code recognises electronic signatures as equivalent to handwritten signatures provided they rely on a reliable process — which Certyneo's advanced signature (AES) delivers.

TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, strict data isolation per organisation, no clear-text access by our teams without documented escalation. Certyneo does not store the medical content itself (beyond what is in the PDF): only the metadata required to manage signatures (envelope identifier, emails, timestamps) is kept in the database.

Yes. The Claeys-Leonetti Act of 2 February 2016 and Article L1111-11 of the French Public Health Code allow advance directives to be drafted freely, with no required form. An advanced electronic signature timestamped with strong patient identification meets the evidentiary requirements — directives of course remain revocable at any time through a new envelope.

Yes. Certyneo exposes a documented REST API (see /docs) and real-time webhooks. DxCare, Cristal-Link, Hopital Manager, Easily and other SIH platforms can trigger the sending of envelopes when a patient document is ready to sign. Zapier and Make connectors also cover private practice software.

Certyneo offers an "in-person signing" mode: the healthcare professional uses their own tablet or workstation to have the patient sign, with identification through an SMS OTP sent to the patient or validation by a trusted third party (carer, caregiver). The audit trail retains the context of the signature.

Our plans include ten-year probative-value archiving. For medical documents requiring longer retention (20 years for some types of hospital file, 28 years for transfusion records, lifetime for some imaging) extended archiving is available on request. Documents remain downloadable at any time.

The right to revoke consent is central in healthcare. In practice, you create a new revocation envelope signed by the patient, which is timestamped and linked to the original consent. The case history clearly shows both acts (consent, then revocation), which fully documents the situation in the event of a dispute.
