My idea:
tl;dr: see pic related(1000 hours of MS paint)
>automate data gathering about someones health, so its cheap and fast enough for most people to do all of it once a month, or most of it, bloodwork, scans, diagnosed diseases, current treatments, etc in specialized clinics built for this purpose of data gathering.
This is the crucial step, if this is done, the rest will come more or less naturally. For this to be done, serious improvements in exam/tests automation are required, the less human work, the better.
>everyone will once a month grow their personal dataset with their health data
>those will feed into a huge central one
>this central database will be free and shared among researchers, with anonymized data for privacy concerns
>then these two processes will work in a cycle:
1) The central dataset will be used by researchers using big data technology to generate PROPER science and understanding of the human body and diseases, with data-based models that actually predict shit. Current medicine models are pathetic, vague and hand wavy, because of lack of data to be analyzed
2) The generated knowledge can be applied into the individual datasets, it would be possible to create end-user software that detects diseases and predicts future ones, then present treatments options or lifestyle choices in a user-friendly way, an obvious example: "your chloresterol is a little high, that can turn into coronary heart disease in X years, please consider Y lifestyle changes and/or Z medication treatment"
Then doctors will be a lot less necessary, mostly for niche cases or giving the greenlight on the recommended actions by the software, until full blown software autonomy is viable.
