in general i have been a big proponent of divorcing diagnosis from data

if you think of it like a system there is no need to convolute responsibility over diagnosing and prescribing with getting data

if i want to get an MRI i should be able to find a market price for it and get it done regardless of what some 80 year old person thinks (legit one time i asked them about my back and he said just take aleve every day)

AI is just a piece that helps push down cost and increase accessibility of data gathering. imagine being able to just sign up for a MRI, get it done, throw the results into an fmri processing AI engine and get a summary out

then you can take that and chat with other medical focused AI or even just hire some indian doctor off the internet to take a look at it. still need to find a doctor willing to make a diagnosis and sign off but you're so well armed now, and you can probably use zocdoc and other stuff to find a doctor that will best suit your needs (also using AI)

something i'm quite excited for as compute gets cheaper is the proliferation of:

1. low margin/nearly at cost devices for gathering all sorts of health data
2. open source algos + global anon but credentialed doctor network that you can submit the data to
