A very obvious conclusion, it was understood in the AI hype of the late 80's. But we didn't have all the hardware or software in place to make it happen. You gather information from steadily increasing number of medical sensors. You store this data away, with metadata provided by contextual information.
Then use data mining techniques, to find similarities to new cases. Not necessarily looking for causal relationships, but for alternatives that may apply, these are provided to the doctors, the direct appliers of medical techniques. Sometimes linked further to direct models of human systems, where we have them. Big Data becomes the partner of physician. It is approaching quickly. This article does a good job of currently covering this space.
