Aldebaran operates within the French digital health sector, offering a medical assistant designed to optimize the workflow of healthcare professionals. The company, founded in 2018 by Alix de Riberolles, Félicie de Fouchier, and Pierre-Louis Guedj, aims to alleviate the administrative burden on doctors, thereby freeing up valuable time for patient care. The founding team brings a blend of expertise to the venture; Alix de Riberolles has a background in marketing and business development, including experience at Doctolib, while Pierre-Louis Guedj has experience as a general practitioner. This combination of commercial and clinical experience underpins the company's approach to the healthcare market.
The core of Aldebaran's offering is a digital platform that facilitates asynchronous communication between patients and doctors. Patients complete AI-driven, medically validated questionnaires prior to their appointments, covering various aspects of their health, including primary and secondary prevention topics like smoking, alcohol consumption, and mental well-being. This process gathers essential information upfront. Subsequently, the system generates a concise medical summary for the physician, enabling them to anticipate the patient's needs and structure the consultation more effectively. This pre-consultation workflow is designed to improve diagnostic support and preventative care. The business model appears to be B2B, targeting healthcare professionals and practices directly, with over 200 doctors in France reportedly using the service.
Aldebaran emphasizes the use of proprietary, explainable AI (XAI) in its algorithms. This choice is intended to build trust with its user base of medical professionals by ensuring the reasoning behind the AI's outputs is transparent and understandable. By focusing on practical applications that save time and enhance preventative care, Aldebaran is positioning itself as a key tool for medical practice management in a healthcare system facing time constraints. The company was part of the Future4care accelerator's second cohort in 2022, an initiative supporting promising health-tech startups.
