The year 2024 predicts the generalization of “My Prevention Report”. This free device allows general practitioners to monitor all of your key health issues across the four life stages.
Build the Parb before the water! This is the principle behind the “My Prevention Report”, a measure included in the previous Social Security Bill. After being tested for a few months in Hauts-de-France among adults aged 45 to 50, it will be generalized throughout the region and expanded during the first quarter of 2024.
Theory? Four free health appointments (and no advance payment) are offered to all adults aged 18 to 25, 45 and 50, 60 and 65, 70 and 75. Conducted by nurses and general practitioners (midwives and pharmacists are also involved in this system), this consultation time of about thirty minutes will be devoted to monitoring all indicators of good health such as diet, sleep, addictions, etc. Thus making it possible to assess risks of complications or identify potential vulnerabilities. The stated aim of the system’s pilot, Health Insurance, is to help everyone become an actor in their own health.

informed. Aging in good health can be learned!
“It’s a real challenge,” according to Jeremy Bos, a public health doctor and director of ADIMEP, which deployed health checks at the Pasteur Institute in Lille in Toulouse. Recent data published by INSEE on the health status of the population show that the perceived health status of men and women varies significantly with age. By age 29, 52% of men and 48% of women believe they are in very good health, even if it means not taking too much care of themselves. The percentage drops to 30% for both men and women aged 30 to 49. So the aim of this health check is to reverse this curve,” asserts the doctor.
A self-questionnaire was received at home
In their practice, if treating doctors do not question the need for prevention, they have a more mixed analysis. “Prevention is obviously very useful, but we already spend an average of 25% of our consultation time on it, Dr. Theophile Coombs, General Practitioner at Geleck in Tarn, puts it into perspective. I think we shouldn’t base everything on this. . “A device that seems a bit artificial, with the risk that people won’t take advantage of it and, above all, we need the means to allow patients to be treated by specialists if the need is identified.”
Mathilde Minet (1), a general practitioner in Mende, also used to providing routine prevention to her patients, hopes that “a system based on self-questionnaires that policyholders will receive at home (it can also be downloaded from My Health Space) , will make it possible to reach those whose medical follow-up is more chaotic and who do not always have a treating doctor.”
