Although I don't think it would be a good idea to give your medical history to total strangers like the owners of Dr. AI, or any other Alexa skill, how bad could it be? After all, we who live in the USA have the 3rd best healthcare system in North America.
Oh wait, that means 3rd out of 3...

Dr. AI will likely not have your vital signs nor you medical history. However, my typical annual and semi-annual physical exams go like this.
- A medical tech (not a real nurse, not even close) checks my vital signs.
- Medical tech asks same annoying questions required by my insurance company designed to see if I'm suicidal or have other symptoms they might not want to cover.
- Doc comes in several minutes later. Shakes my hand. Quickly listens to my heart and lungs with stethoscope.
- Doc sits at computer station and asks his usual questions about whether I’m still taking all my meds, how I feel, etc.
- Doc types in a bunch of stuff on the computer while pretending to listen to me. Mostly he is making sure to check all the key checkboxes on the insurance forms so he can get paid the most and purchase a bigger mansion.
- Doc says he will see me in another 6 months.
- Lab tech draws blood and gathers a urine sample.
- I go home fairly clueless to any findings and totally clueless to the lab results which take a couple of weeks to get, and then they are written for medical staff, not a lay person, so no clue if they are really OK, really good, or maybe I should be writing my will.
