Tech is interesting, title is clickbait. There are many important conditions which will leave no trace outside the body. This is why long term I’m excited about ultrasound getting cheaper, allowing individuals to look inside themselves more frequently.
As a novel signal or biomarker, figuring out aromatic traces of diseases we didn’t even know about seems cool too. So in that sense this is interesting.
But no, diagnosing disease is obviously multimodal. And I’m not at all convinced this would even be the most important modality, even in the distant future.
- CodeGlitch 6y agoI'm excited about the prospect of more consumer level medical diagnosis systems. As you say cheaper ultrasound at home would be awesome, and the results could be sent to a trained physician/ai to tell you if the dark mass is supposed to be there. Putting people's health into their own hands is a positive IMHO.
