The applications I've seen are around analysis/alerting. Submit your raw data to a service and it screens for hundreds of rare conditions your doctor's never heard of.

Similar to blood work maybe nothing comes back conclusive but it might be interesting enough to trigger follow on investigation.

But the general theme is around augmenting the human decision maker rather than "preprocessing" the data in a way that might obscure or hallucinate important details.

False positives on tests are a well understood source of illness and iatrogenic harm, as well as being a well known money printer for those administering the tests. Trying to screen for a whack of rare diseases with AI still sounds dubious to me unless you have good reason to suspect one beyond high levels of medical anxiety.

I’m more interested in AIs ability to do things like read x-rays and identify illnesses with higher accuracy than a tired doctor on a 12 hour shift.
