Lot of disruption ahead to be sure. The tech is getting better and faster at identifying issues. But this also means pointless/thoughtless interventions being done all the time.
If a 70 year old is 4 hours away from a natural death and the tech raises an alarm and pulls in a surgeon to do emergency surgery that keeps him alive in a bed for another 10 years. That's a bad outcome in my book. And it happens all the time almost in automated fashion. Producing more suffering not less.
