There are worse sources of waste in the health sector. In Sweden, and most other developed countries I imagine, the introduction of IT has resulted in less patient time simply because doctors are now legally required to work on filling out forms, documentation and other acts of IT powered bureaucracy. What's astonishing is that we don't know if all this documentation is doing any good, it's just assumed that it does. So startups don't have to work on hard AI problems to make it big in the health sector. Removing the bureaucracy caused by IT is a much more attainable goal provided you're ready to fight policy makers who have created the regulations in the first place.
