Human body is a combination of complex subsystems. Almost everything is connected with everything. Unfortunately, medical doctors only have expertise in a single subsystem. As a result, some diseases take a long time for the real diagnosis. In worst case, the problem is related to several of the subsystems. In such cases, the patient is directed to different experts continuously like the bouncing ball in a pinball game. In pinball each bounce increases your point, but in healthcare it empties your pocket.
I am not a fan of AI in most fields. However, healthcare would definitely benefit from AI. AI with so much memory and broad knowledge, can see the big picture and diagnose the patient much earlier with fewer bounces.
