I hold/held the opinion. I've asked several of my doctor friends what they think of a future like this. They are all resoundingly pessimistic, due to the false positives they think would result and a general sense that it would result in unnecessary interventions.

It made some sense to me, but ultimately considered it would work out for the greater good.

If you think about something like cardiovascular disease or diabetes, it seems incredibly obvious that having a continuous stream of data with blood glucose, pulse, oxygen etc. would be extremely valuable.

So I feel like your doctors maybe don't understand or appreciate technology.
