You also need doctors to be willing to accept the software. They may not since they may feel that it makes their job look "easy" and will therefore cut into their incomes.
Thinking that doctors could be scared that their job looks easy makes me not only excited but all more hungry for this sort of software. This is the same thing labor said as it was mechanized. All sorts of other fields that changed to be technology reliant are the same. The idea that medicine could become "easy" could change this world maybe. Medicine becoming a job for more and more spread out is exciting to me. I hope we can make physicians near obsolete and direct professionals at research to better medicine.
I work at a medical device company that does a lot of software related work. Making their work look easy is NOT an issue. The big problem is that insurance plans typically don't reimburse time spent with technology. For instance in Diabetes treatment a doc could look at your results and provide good feedback via email or phone, but there is not reimbursement code for this. So you take half a day off of work to have a 10 minute meeting with a doc.
Most docs would love more tech in their practices.
First, you need software that is actually helpful. This means that it has to assist me with creating and ranking differentials that I wouldn't otherwise have pieced together. I have yet to see any software like this.
