The mistake everyone seems to make is thinking that making a diagnosis is what makes medicine hard. It's not. e.g. An algorithm that can diagnose diabetic retinopathy from fundus photos 'as well as a specialist' makes for a good headline, but isn't particularly useful. Medicine is nothing like "House" in real life. AI should be leveraged to either improve efficiency or develop novel tools.
This here is a problem I wish we could solve, get a central data broker that could hold aggregate medical history and just dole it out to companies. My wife has to get Medical supplies on a regular basis, the company we got them from got bought out by a PEC so we wanted to try switching companies. Months later we still can't get all the Drs insurance and supplier lined up.
The problem is of course as a security guy I know a centralized clearinghouse would be a nightmare from every stand point. The real solution may be in the development of a good protocol, but good luck getting the Med industry that is still putzing around on ASM/400s to adopt something like that. Even with the force of law, i.e. HIPPA
