[p2p-research] P2P Medicine -- Making Your Smart Phone into an Ultrasound Device

[Ryan Lanham]

If you dis-intermediate a x-ray tech and still use a doctor, you are moving
toward p2p.

And I can imagine iPhones with the capacity to analyze self imaging...  Spot
your own breaks, cancers, tooth decay by using tech.  Why not?  Set your own
bone?  Maybe you stop by a robot room.

Who needs a nutritionist?  A personal trainer?  Only people who don't have
machines that allow them to share consistent processes and best practices.
Even sports...we don't need coaches as much as we need analyses of
bio-physics compared to large networks of performance measures given similar
styles, flaws, etc.  Is my elbow too bent?  My hand too high?  Compare me to
everyone who is also 6'2" who has a better swing than me...we all share data
and performance metrics...

Also, P2P has to start us rapidly on the path to bots as peers.  That's true
in physical/medical realms, soon, I'd guess.
