I think it should be able to revolutionize diagnostic medicine. The issue today is what the doctor can remember and think of. For example, live in Florida or Texas and doctors know the symptoms that could be an infection caused by amoebas which is easily treatable. Go on vacation, swim in a lake that has amoebas and get infected, then go home to your northern state and you might die. All because the doctor doesn’t know what to look for.
Just one example. Think Dr. House on steroids… rather than Vicodin.
Enter symptoms and follow the prompts. Perform tests as requested by computer. Results fed into computer. And so on. All of the hospitals connected and anonymized data shared in real-time. Catch outbreaks sooner. Quicker diagnoses, less mistakes, and a much higher success rate with non-common ailments. The entirety of our medical knowledge in the computer as a starting point and the AI learns from there.
