IBM has been doing massive investments into this space. There are still lots of problems and you can't completely replace things such as specialists.

No, no, no, absolutely not. This is a horrible idea. IMMEDIATELY, when you let robots prescribe medicine without any human interference, two things will happen:

>Immediate posts on drug forums saying things like "I found out if you give inputs X, Y, and Z, you get a giant prescription for Xanax, Ambien, and Adderall"

>Any small bug can be massively magnified into potentially prescribing the wrong medication to literally MILLIONS of patients

There has to be human involvement at some point in the process.
