What data is being collected on you? Once a year blood test if that even?

I actually suspect it would be trivial to beat my doctor after 5 years of higher frequency full blood panel data collection.

10 full blood panel samples a year, have 20 million people do that for a data set we can do classification on. I think my doctor is kind of out of business then.

Will never happen in my life though with health insurance and health bureaucracy.



Beat your doctor on what? You can already get 10 full blood panel tests per year if you want. You can just pay for it and don't need insurance. But what will you do with the data? For most people the results won't tell you anything useful.

It won't happen primarily due to government regulation. Medical information has "dangerous, don't touch this" written all over it, and everyone is scared to try.
