Hmmm... Wouldn't want my life depending on this until there was years of successful track record to go along with it... My Doc ain't gettin' rid of me that easily.
Interesting, but I doubt it would decrease the need for doctors visits. Not to be too cynical about it, but a) doctors don't get paid by patients not seeing them but the other way around, and b) virtually all technological innovations like this that result in more information produce results that require action or interpretation, therefore more doctor visits.
It's still an interesting idea...

“Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing”--Voltaire
Have to admit it's interesting, the more you think about it. Wouldn't be a trip if you got to work one morning and there was a message in your voicemail from your cardiologist, saying "Our computer says you're going to have an MI later this afternoon... Could you stop by the hospital by about 11am, so that we can head this off?".

It would be nice if it worked that way, but it doesn't.
I'm still waiting for a Star Trek "salt shaker' that I can scan you with and know exactly what's wrong and what to do!
