Indeed but a tiring and expensive game when it takes 4-5 tries with experienced specialists to get an actual diagnosis.
One of the more exciting AI use-cases is that it should be about competent to handle the conversational parts of diagnosis; it should have read all the studies and so it'll be possible to spend an hour at home talking to an AI and then turn up at the doctor with a checklist of diagnostic work you want them to try.
A shorter amount of expensive time with a consultant is more powerful if there is a solid reference to play with for longer before hand.
