• Why Patients Lie—and How AI is Helping Doctors See the Truth

  🩺 57% of patients lie to their doctors, says Dr Jérome BOUAZIZ, CEO of One Clinic. Not maliciously—but out of discomfort, stigma, or fear of judgment. Whether it's drug use, alcohol, sleep issues, or mental health, these omissions can have life-altering consequences. On the other side, many doctors avoid asking sensitive questions. Not because they don’t care—but because of time constraints or uncertainty about how to handle the answers. At One Clinic, a new approach flips this dynamic. ✅ Patients complete a 60–100 question digital pre-consultation. ✅ Responses feed into validated clinical scores (like STOP-BANG for sleep apnea). ✅ Doctors receive structured, AI-supported insights before the visit begins. ✅ Every consultation becomes a "Personal Opportunity for Prevention"—even if the visit was for something as routine as a UTI. This model doesn’t replace doctors with tech. It supports them, enabling faster, smarter decisions that reflect the patient’s full picture. 💡 The secret? Technology as a non-judgmental intermediary. Patients open up. Doctors stay focused. Prevention becomes practical.

• Agentic AI and Longevity - Key topics at NextMed Health 2025

  NextMed Health in a healthtech and biotech conference exploring the most forward thinking ideas and topics in healthcare. Taking place in San Diego, a four day programme covered topics such as latest developments in AI, aging, increasing lifespan and longevity, addressing mental health and exercise through VR, and more. In this special episode of Faces of digital health, Gary Monk and Tjasa Zajc reflect on the key findings through additional discussions with: Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, Founder, AIMed. Chief Intelligence & Innovation Office, Children's Hospital of Orange County  Daniel Kraft, MD,  Founder & Chair, NextMed Health. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, Founder, Beyond Clinical Walls. Urgent Care Medical Director, Saint Mary's Health Network Steven Brown, AI developer, Coder, founder, investor, filmmaker Jennifer Garrison, PhD, Professor, Buck Institute. Co-Founder & Director, ProductiveHealth.org Eric Topol, MD,  Founder and Director, Scripps Research Translational Institute What's covered: 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 ▶️ Case Study – Stephen Brown ▶️ Custom AI Tool Development: Brown built his own AI-based application using various LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), emphasizing data cleaning, model cross-evaluation, and reliability testing. Anthony Chang: Claimed it will soon be unethical not to use AI in areas like radiology, where AI improves diagnostic accuracy. 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞: ▶️ Lack of AI education among clinicians. ▶️ Absence of AI strategies in hospitals—often even lacking data governance. ▶️ Misaligned financial incentives across stakeholders. ▶️ Bias and Representation 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 & 𝐎𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ▶️ Ovaries Beyond Reproduction: ovaries regulate broader systemic health via signaling pathways (like “Wi-Fi”), impacting bone, skin, and possibly all organs ▶️ Gaps in Research 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 Eric Topol’s View: ▶️ Real progress in longevity stems from data-driven insights (organ clocks, plasma proteomics) and predictive risk modeling—not supplements or unproven interventions. ▶️ AI enables individualized, timed risk prediction for major age-related diseases (cancer, heart disease, neurodegeneration). 🛑 🛑 Warned against overreliance on consumer-grade longevity services offering generalized, possibly irrelevant tests.
