There is too much data for a human to know it all. We need to give doctors help. When I way I want my doctor to know, that shouldn't be understood as read the update every time it happens. I want tools to analyze all the data and look for patterns - which may or may not exist - and if something "interesting" shows up alert my doctor to take a closer look.

Most of what doctors do should be basic checklists - this is the same thing millions of other people have and should be treated by checklist in best practice. It is the exceptions where you are that 1 in a million case and so there is no checklist that you need doctors to read all the data and think.
