Certainly there are things that could be automated.

The challenge would be in creating software that can intelligently interact with a patient to surface the actual facts.

Humans are infinitely variable and read and interpret clues that we've barely identified let alone figured out how to automate reliably.

But that doesn't mean it's not possible. Machines will, one day, do this BETTER than humans can.

I would be ecstatic if a machine could do my future job better than I could. That means more patients are being saved.
