The software could also simply ask the right questions. That way patients would not have to learn medicine in order to diagnose themselves.

I agree, it would be amazing. Though it should be noted that ultrasonography is operator-dependent. Unlike other imaging technologies, it takes operator skill to find the anatomical structures with the wand.
