Another interesting thing to do is having a high quality medical expert system(Watson), running outside the u.s.(say africa[1]) with people who we're taught how to use it(even doctors), with access to video communication with the patient, with access to his test results - administer advice to him.

Assuming good , mostly automated process and a good expert system - this could be a way to offer highly accurate second opinion.

And it would be a perfectly legal service from the provider side.

[1]This could be used locally in the country, which is a nice way to augment/start a country medical system
