Which is not a machine learning issue. Just collecting the information is a costly / time consuming issue which can't be outsourced to servers.

Right but the current innovation with regards to ml for medicine will force more data to be collected.

We have lots of ways to process and learn from data already. ML may make some things easier, but we're ready to learn more things right now with existing tools. Getting the data is the problem.

The amount of data you would require to do proper machine learning using current gradient descent techniques are orders of magnitude greater than that done in a drug study.
