Faces of Digital Health

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


Listen Later

🩺 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.
