Some studies have shown that for certain kinds of interaction, such
as history taking, computers may be more effective than humans.  People
tend to be more open and honest with the computer (which is, after all,
non-judgmental and has no opinion of you) than with human questioners.
A computer diagnostician is also likely to be a useful aide to a
human doctor, just as a second human would be. Any independent
interpretation of the observations is desirable.
