E’ l’equivalente funzionale di WebMD, in quanto è dotato di una libreria di informazioni sulla salute a portata di mano dell’utente e svolge altre attività utili, come ad esempio guidare i malati agli ospedali. Tuttavia è probabile che questo sia solo l’inizio per le applicazioni mirate all’assistenza sanitaria in Africa. Abbiamo visto come gli smartphone abbiano adottato tutti i tipi di tecnologia medica, dagli stetoscopi digitali alla diagnosi del cancro, e sono fiducioso che un giorno vedremo simili stupefacenti tecnologie sanitarie raggiungere anche le zone più remote. Un’app che tenga traccia delle proliferazioni di zanzare o uno smartphone con una periferica per il test dell’HIV farebbero miracoli per rispetto alle sfide sanitarie persistenti dei Paesi in via di sviluppo. Chissà? Forse un giorno sarà possibile portarci un medico in tasca. [...] [...] Se le agro-app sono adatte per le economie in via di sviluppo, in realtà il vincitore del Pivot25 è stato Medkenya.

Just like a doctor who knows that there are many diseases that show the same simptoms, the database on the smartphone will be able to narrow down the list. From there, it's a matter of finding if there's anything else that makes the illness stand out and if you have say 3 possible diseases, one of which is fatal, you can then send the patient to a clinic to get diagnosed correctly or treated. The hard part will be to program the doctors instinct and experience into the database as well as adjusting the risk parameters correctly. A lot of it is statistical analysis, having a large enough database of syptoms and proper risk assessment. Doctors to some extent do the same thing. You’re not seeing the big picture.

What if you don't have a rash to take a picture of? What if your symptoms are nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain? the system's gonna tell you gastroenteritis, its no big deal, when any physician out there knows the the list of differentials is extensive. Would you feel comfortable if it gives you a diagnosis that says gastroenteritis, and then 24 hrs later you have a ruptured appendicitis that required surgical intervention that you didnt seek a physician's opinion for because your iphone told you not to worry about it? Then who do you sue? the iphone app? I dont see this is feasible So the AI on the iPhone is going to take xray’s and CT scans in the middle of an african village.
