It is possible that some of the noise (non-medically relevant changes) could be filtered algorithmically, and conversely conditions might be able to be picked up that might not be noticed by a normal provider. Physicians use those tools to diagnose disease all the time, that's why there is a thermometer, scale, and stethoscope in every doctor's office in the world, I don't understand how these tools aren't useful.

This is left to the doctor who will take into account age, gender, medical history, as well as the fuzzy description of the problem from the patient. Then they'll give you some medication and hope that it heals in a few days, if not, then re-assess and do more trial and error diagnostics and medications (which can go on for months, even years). If we had technology that could monitor internal changes on a real time basis though, then the face of medicine would change forever.
