I had come to similar conclusions about doctors but after interacting with a few doctors closely, my perspectives changed. This is in India though where the regulatory environment is a lot different.
Per my interaction, the best doctors will do whatever it takes to improve their efficiency. Their biggest problem is the sheer volume of patients. Everyone wants to go to the best doc, and word spreads pretty fast. If you start doing good, very soon you are swarmed with patients 24/7. So any tool that can speed up their patient handling time is welcome. This is not a scheduling problem. People built a ton of scheduling tools and those tools have done next to nothing to move the efficiency needle.
What's needed is, what you said, a diagnostic tool with automated feedback from patient's activities and dramatic physiological changes. The best doctors that I know will take it up in a heart beat.

I'd argue that the answer to this is, "Sorry, but we're full up on appointments that day/week/etc". And if you start needing to book your normal clients too far out, you stop taking new patients. The fact that people want to see a doctor doesn't mean they get to see that doctor. The answer is not to take more patients but give each one less time, resulting in sub-par treatment.
