This and the use of AI to detect and predict issues with people are going to save 100s if not 1000s of lives in the future.

It's got way way more potential...

Use AI combined with Japan-style Annual Medicals, with the AI in the background creating mega data sets, continuely throwing things at the wall to find corrolation, and then presenting the compelling matches between negative incident (death, injury event) patterns and subtle shifts and/or combinations in patients bio history, and it'll prevent tens, hundreds of thousands of death events and tens of millions of non-fatal but disabling events.

This would be truly amazing. Sadly though it won’t happen in Japan at least. A healthcare system so isolated from itself but has an unspoken rule of having hardware barely capable of running their copy of windows 95 and their record software which is so basic yet so convoluted doctors struggle to navigate it.

Annual medicals are great here mind and save lives, but infrastructure is a let down

The AI is providing marginal benefit there

Think about the benefit just of every doctor's knowledge being combined.

On one hand, a doctor with 20 years experience, on a twelve hour shift, with X number of patients and whose marriage is failing.

On the other, a computer, with millions of years of collective experience and expertise in everything from an infected zit to ebola to that psychological disorder only three doctors have ever heard of.

It's going to be great when this starts to bleed down into veterinary care!
