The integration of digital data from imaging, pathology, genomics, and other fields creates an opportunity to produce information-rich diagnoses, especially for complex patients. Technology exists today to create a "diagnostic cockpit" that can accept inputs from multiple sources, analyze them using artificial intelligence and other quantitative tools, and produce a precision diagnosis. Although barriers to creation and dissemination of such a cockpit exist, the metaphor provides a glimpse into the diagnostic processes of the future.
