Gartner analyst Anurag Gupta said the field was ripe for disruption. This is partly because of the “asymmetric information” balance in the sector – where patients have significantly less information than their clinicians do – and the idea that patients are steadily “morphing into the healthcare consumer,” he said.
This is so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.
You can hand the same information to both the patient and the clinician. The biggest difference is that the Clinician will understand what the data represents.

You can't replace the doctor with a machine, there's more to medicine than just diagnostic tools.
