No, of course not. We will always need doctors but a computer can be more accurate in it's diagnosis than an individual Dr. It can save time and money for both the patient and the government, in health care. For example, my wife was ill for years until a Dr. finally pinpointed the problem (acid reflux). She suffered only because the host of Dr's before could not properly diagnose her problem, so accuracy would be a big factor.
Quality of life would improve. Think how much time is spent being unnecessarily ill due to misdiagnosis
To be treated one would have to go to a Dr. I think you missinterprited my meaning.
I still feel it would be a safer, more accurate, predictor than ones Dr. It could save lives in cases where time is of the essence.
We probably could reduce the number of Dr's also.
I strongly advocate AGAINST self-dxing. I have seen it proven inaccurate MANY MANY TIMES. People suffer unnecessarily.
