And this is where "physician support tools" have always fallen down, and was the give-away I was expecting in the article. There are two type of ways of assisting diagnosis: (a) given this mass of data, what does the patient have? and (b) given this mass of data, does this patient likely have asthma? It seems to me that all these "expert" A.I. systems are predicated on having a wealth of data already available. To me, the more interesting question is (c) "given this scarcity of data, which steps are likely to lead to the shortest time to diagnosis for this patient?"
