What if a computer s could accurately model hormones in real time?
I think the data would reveal incredible knowledge. Suppose you had access to that kind of data, the ability to cure disease would dwarf what we have now. In fact we have much better knowledge to utilize that data even if it isn't done in practice. As peat noted, what doctors seem to know is about a decade behind published studies.
It would also be harder to justify bad drugs when a huge lab and huge resource intensive studies can be drastically scaled down to where claims can be cheaply replicated, even down to an individual basis.
I wonder if an app might be written where metablic data can already start to be modeled bases on pulse and body temperature. In fact I'm sure some here might be interested in that. A real time graph of that data might reveal stress from daily events and habits that you could then intelligently change.
Those smart watches already have that capacity and I think they're are even cheaper fitness watches out there and it's just a matter of intelligently understanding what the data is saying.
Perhaps it's even more revealing than labs insofar as a snapshot of a single frame of time may not be as useful as daily metabolic rhythms. The thing is we don't know how useful it could be because afaik it hasn't been done.
If that kind of technology finds a way to disrupt established medicine and finds its way into the hands of normal people it could break the monopoly on medicine.
