Our story

Medication Intelligence for healthcare professionals

Synapse Medicine was created by Dr. Clement Goehrs, Dr. Louis Létinier, and Bruno Thiao-Layel in 2017 to support healthcare workers in reducing iatrogenic risks and the general public to take medicines safely.

In the course of their medical practice, the three founders identified a major problem in the healthcare system related to medication errors.

In the United States alone, 1 million individuals are seen in hospital emergency departments for adverse drug events¹, and it is predicted that there will be 4.6 million hospitalizations of older Americans over the next decade². In light of all this, Synapse Medicine (a spin-off from the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research [Inserm] and Bordeaux University Hospital) developed its Medication Intelligence platform within two years of R&D, which is dedicated to improving medication use. Synapse Medicine's technology is therefore used by healthcare professionals such as doctors and pharmacists to help them in their daily work, but also by telemedicine companies, pharmacy groups, insurance companies, hospitals, and healthcare clinics.

Our values

Ethics

Our team is committed to providing easy access to reliable, up-to-date, and fully independent medical information to everyone who needs it.

Transparency

Transparency is the cornerstone of Synapse Medicine. The medical data provided by the platform is regularly updated and all users can access the official reference sources.

Ambition

Our goal is to promote correct drug use by healthcare professionals and the general public, worldwide.

Teamwork

We believe that Synapse Medicine’s strength lies in its team. Our key values are solidarity, commitment, and goodwill, both for us in house and with our partners.

TESTIMONIAL

Our commitment to preventing drug-related risks knows no borders.

Synapse Pro is now available to the doctors of the Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA). This represents the realization of Synapse Medicine’s ambition to make drug-related information available to all, anywhere in the world.

"Synapse Medicine’s platform is easy to use and effective, which is extremely helpful for us. Since we are a humanitarian aid organization, all of our prescriptions are written in paper form. We do not use software or have a pharmacist on hand who can check that there will be no drug interactions or other issues. The app acts as an important barrier to prevent iatrogenic effects. Synapse Medicine allows us to make patient care safer and to develop further training for prescribing physicians."
