Every time I go to the doctor with anything that isn't obvious I'm always amazed that some basic ML tools aren't part of the standard practice. Especially since the standard reaction now is "here take a bunch of expensive tests, you won't be paying for most of them out of pocket so who cares!" We've had the tools for decades now to at least say "given these symptoms, it's very likely you X, Y or possibly Z". Additionally I'd be surprised if there weren't some unexpected correlations between various features that most doctors would miss.

Of course I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since medical records keeping is still 30 years out of date. The fact that it's still common practice to share medical records by filling out a consent form and having one office fax paper forms to other is ridiculous.

I really hope we start to see disruption in this industry, so much potential for not only cost savings but improved care.
