I really enjoy these articles about how software is eating or will eat health care. At least in the US the things technology can solve are generally either trivial and have already been solved (usually terribly, like EHR, but solved nonetheless) or really hard (e.g. diagnosing conditions and researching cures). The "Phase II" this person refers to exists because of <i>political</i> problems, not because they simply haven't had the attention of the "super geniuses" in the Bay Area. The arrogance in the software sector about the depth and breadth of its reach is staggering.<p>I work in health tech in the Bay Area and have for a long time now. The problems in this industry are generally because of human behavior and politics. It's going to take a lot more than software, and something entirely different from it, to solve them.
