We get some of these with our normal blood draws that measure 20-40 and more components and flag those that are out of normal range.

Theranos is an example of a company that over-promised on this model and engaged in fraud to get investments.

Most MRIs now are done based on suspicions of something going wrong. This would be more of a screening MRI which would be similar to yearly mammograms. But with the risks of false positives (identifying a potential problem when there is not one) and the immense costs of these scans.

I think I was trying to point out that this "AI" thing has some useful applications.
