Before Aldebaran
Medical desert: screening on the decline in an already strained area
The CPTS of Pays-Haut covers an area of 90,000 inhabitants, including 18,000 without a primary care doctor. In this medical desert context, participation in organized screening programmes was steadily declining.
Several factors explain this situation: a lack of information, the absence of medical follow-up to guide patients, as well as various barriers (difficulty accessing care, apprehension...) often invisible in the absence of suitable tools to identify them.
The challenge: identify patients earlier and make it easier for them to access screening tests, including without a primary care doctor.
WITH ALDEBARAN
A proactive and personalized prevention tool
By integrating Aldebaran into her day-to-day work, Wendy relies on the screening and prevention features. The tool, used by doctors across the area, automatically identifies whether patients are up to date with their screenings, even before the appointment.
When a patient is not up to date, she contacts them to understand the barriers and adapt her support. She can then directly offer a screening slot, making access to care easier and optimizing the filling of available slots.
Each situation receives personalized care.
Collective journey
Partnerships with organizations to negotiate dedicated time slots for screenings.
Individual screening
Identification of patients who are not up to date, personalized contact to understand barriers and propose suitable time slots.
How it works day to day
The screening pathway with Aldebaran at the CPTS of Pays-Haut
1
BEFORE THE CONSULTATION
Appointment booking and sending the questionnaire
Via Doctolib, the patient schedules an appointment. The questionnaire adapted to their reason for consultation is automatically sent.
2
PATIENT
The patient completes the questionnaire
The patient answers questions about their screenings: mammogram, colonoscopy, Pap smear, etc.

ALDEBARAN SUMMARY
Screening status at a glance
The tool identifies whether the patient is up to date or not with their screenings and displays it on a medical summary.
4
CPTS & Follow-up
Reminder, guidance and support
Patients who are not up to date are contacted again, referred and supported toward screening.
This tool is part of a proactive prevention approach and provides real support in improving access to care in our region. Thanks to Aldebaran, we can partly address the issue of medical desertification by going directly to patients, understanding their barriers, and facilitating their access to screening examinations.
