Medicine of today is still more art than science. Although we strive towards what you describe, there are enough poorly defined variables involved in diagnosis to make CAM pretty much useless. A major cause of that is the information requirement. People will describe and interpret findings differently, making reporting useless. Trying to directly measure things will stumble across very complex issues of calibration, etc.
Actually, all the current hype goes to AI/ML/automation, but the real priority would be to improve data collection. Unfortunately, it's less sexy and much harder. Old-school docs still have good times before them.
