>The point is, right now the majority of (very expensive!) doctor visits are a total waste of everyone's time, and your money. Honestly, what are you talking about? A doctor's visit costs between $0 and $150, depending on insurance/government, and it is a focused encounter to determine the source of a medical complaint and a most likely effective treatment for that problem. You want to stick a one-lead ECG on someone and expect that it's supposed to spit out a diagnosis, or heaven forbid, a recommendation to see a doctor who can actually figure out how to diagnose and treat the patient. Your statement in fact points to the uselessness of this proposed medical device if it can't actually figure out what's going on and instead will send you to an actual expert (physician). How reliable would it be for everything else it "diagnoses"?

  >And who do you think covers the remaining $150-infinity? Primary care office visits of low complexity are typically less than $150. Suggesting otherwise is a sign of profound ignorance.

  >You're not arguing in good faith. Goodbye. You haven't come up with a single situation where a non-cardiac medical problem can be diagnosed solely with a handheld single vector ECG. You don't mention anything about false positives or false negatives, sensitivity, specificity, pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, diagnostics, or medical decision making. You have no understanding of how your magical tech device would bridge every aspect of the practice of medicine, but you make an audacious claim with a bit of hand waving, saying "this will work better than physicians, and cost far less".
