Abstract:
Regular general health check-ups in asymptomatic patients seem not impacting important outcomes. As such, it is no longer recommended by the Swiss Society of General Internal Medicine as part of its «smartermedicine» campaign. Physicians should focus on a medical follow-up based on risk-appropriate screening, regular evaluation of lifestyle habits, monitoring of bio-psycho-social well-being, regular re-evaluation of medication and vaccinations. Prevention during the medical consultation is thus rethought, based on a relationship of trust between doctor and patient, with an exchange of views on the need for interventions and screenings based only on scientific evidence.
