Evaluation and care for patients with cognitive disorders with remote consultation: A holistic approach
C urrently, approximately 46.8 million people live with dementia in the world, and the latest predictive patterns foresee 135
million in 2050. The needs of the patients, along with those of their relatives (who face co-morbidities) and the consecutive
costs bring this issue to the forefront as a social emergency. The Aloïs network has modeled an innovative ambulatory process
allowing subjects to get a diagnosis, an adapted and graduated care in order to delay the occurrence of dependency. Since
2014, leaning on the development of new technologies, we have modeled a set of procedures enabling any subject to access,
no matter their geographic - regarding medical deserts - or economic situation - social rates. The procedure, intended for
medical deserts, expatriates and French Overseas Territories inhabitants, basically offers three types of services: For general
practitioners: training and equipment sessions are organized to enable them to detect patients with cognitive complaints;
For patients: diagnostic examinations including a neuropsychological assessment by teleconference; for patients and their
relatives/caregivers: psycho-education sessions have been set-up. Alongside, a study is currently ongoing, aiming to validate
the tele-consultation model. The first results demonstrate a good consistency between a classical face to face and teleconference
situation. This validation allows us to extend the current model.
Biography
Benedicte Defontaines has completed her MD degree, Advanced degrees in Biochemistry, Neurology and Neurosciences. In 2004, she created the Aloïs network,
a new community-based pathway for the diagnosis and care of patients with cognitive disorders fully complementary to the existing system but more flexible and
less traumatizing for patients and less costly for the state.
