Weda is French online medical software for general practitioners. It supports daily consultations at the office, on home visits and through a mobile version. The vendor describes it as online software that requires no special hardware or complex installation. The publisher, Weda SAS, has its registered office in Pérols, near Montpellier.
Weda became part of the Vidal group in 2019. The Vidal group was the subject of an acquisition by the Japanese company M3, announced in 2016, so the ultimate owner of Weda sits in Japan, outside the EU. The vendor states that data is hosted and processed in France, with HDS certification, and its legal notice names OVH in Roubaix as hosting provider. The privacy policy says data is not transferred outside the European Union. Organisations should weigh the Japanese ownership and check the processing terms for patient data, which the website does not describe in detail.
