Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

If you take the best chagtp, which is open source and free, download and place behind log in at your health care provider, and then you auto feed into it your medical data, as registered by your doctor, all hypochondriacs could sit all day talking about their swollen foot, and not burden any GP. If you combine this automatic doctoring with a type of vending machines for blood tests. Because in many treatments, a blood result A, will always be followed by treatment B. These would then be categorized as a specific and separate type of prescription drugs. And can be prescribed by nurses or AI.
And in all cases where these are used, a blood test vending machine can be also used. You then get your pill or whatever without annoying the doctor. This can also be scaled up at almost no cost and extended world wide. And there there would in fact be some universal health case everywhere.
Then you add mobile phone apps which by means of phone sensors are able to perform some diagnostics at the request of your AI doctor, and transmit these data directly into your medical file.
Another thing you could then do, is to add on top of it Japanese kampo medicine, and evidence based herbal treatments, which-in combination with over the counter drugs- can remedy some shortages for the very poorest people. This would then be a world wide health care foundation.
Finally, one could then discuss how to provide the really important treatments on top of this, cancer etc. And other surgeries.
And if anyone is impressed by this, wait until i tell you about my perpetual motion machine...But what I have described involves NO tech innovations at all, just implementing systematically what already exists. Free AI exists, medical records exist, phone apps exist, vending machines exist. Kampo, over the counter and herbs exist, nutritional knowledge exist. The reason why herbal remedies are mentioned is not that they have superior effect, which they do not, but rather the lower production costs.
What does not exist is integration of these into a system. But this system, if implemented, would be largely automated.
I see my suggestions above are not well liked :) But remember that this is more than many people have today on earth. And for these people, something is better than nothing. And when much can be achieved and scaled up at very low cost, then I do not see why it in any way conflicts with the existing health service? It will simply raise the lower up, and create a higher foundation. It does not bring anything or anyone down..?
Edit: Let me make an example of how it would work. I cut my finger and it becomes infected. Then i wonder whether i should apply aloe vera, which i can buy at the supermarket, or whether I need antibiotic cream. I then log in to the official health portal and ask the AI doctor, which tells me to turn on GPS on my phone and open their phone app. Then I direct the camera on the phone to the wound, which is scanned by AI, uploaded to my medical records, analyzed and a diagnosis made. If I am hysterical, AI will tell me to first clean and dress the wound, treat it with aloe vera, and take another photo tomorrow, or if the condition changes. And if antibiotics are needed, it will prescribe a code for a vending machine nearby. If I live in the countryside, it will offer to have the antibiotic cream sent to me by mail at agreed rates deducted from payment methods in my health portal. Many herbal treatments will therefore be subject to more monitoring than they are today. Even if they will be just as available for anyone to store at home. But a few other drugs, now prescribed by doctors will be more easily available. The doctors are simply over-qualified to deal with this. And they have enough to do as it is. Today you must often wait three weeks for a doctor's appointment.
