A friend of mind express the idea that someone may use blockchain processing power to solve urgent problems of humanity. If this will be directed to a self-diagnosis platform, we won't be probably using doctors as we do nowadays.

if they manage to develop and promote the project properly. and get a lot of doctors on board with this.

I'm glad to hear they have people on the team who have ties/worked with the government. Medical data can be a sensitive subject, especially in some countries. You have to be able to convince regulators that you handle this data in a secure way.

id def watch that!!

I think doctor's are always going to be necessary and self-diagnosis can work for little diseases.

Well, I just recently heard a lecture by a someone who is a doctor himself, who is the opinion that the algorithm based diagnostic will be way ahead of the one by a real doctor in the near future. He said at this moment the only thing that makes a human better is his experience.

Also besides experience, the other human factor that is also important is human instinct which you wont get even with the most sophisticated algorithms.
But who knows what we will get in the next ten years of development.   

It is ideal of course.

But it is the health sector, they are making cures for an illness they created most of the time.

At least ehealth first won't be active in that kind of areas.

I think some people are looking at this the wrong way..
this technology will help out in detecting the first signals of an illness, but indeed.. human doctors will be the ones using that info to make a faster diagnose..
don't forget, we already build diagnoses on the result from machines like CAT scan, blood analyses, ...
So.. this is just "another" next gen tool to help out the real doctors...
Less people going to use "dr google" for finding out what' wrong
