scanning the medfiles of 20,000,000 people?

harvard has a project going to scan millions of medical files with an artificial intelligence program.

the idea behind it is to trace down the common roots of some major health care issues (conditions, diseases, syndromes, whatever).

i guess i like the thought of a computer going through my personal medical history better than the thought of some _person_ looking through there. *shrugs* here's hoping they figure some of this stuff out.
