I think technology is taking diagnosis from doctors , but not in the way thought by MYCIN ( diagnose using a list of symptoms). A better way to diagnose is using improved molecular tests, and new imaging methods. those have a few benefits: 1. Higher accuracy. 2. Sometimes you can diagnose in a very early stage of the disease , with no apparent symptoms(i.e. screening) 3. You can diagnose by the cause , not by the symptoms. when you have the exact cause you can give much better treatment. Molecular methods probably have easier acceptance by doctors vs expert systems , probably because they don't seem as a direct competition.
