What's a an idea/feature you'd like some startup to implement?

Question

I have a quite wide software engineering experience ... even had a startup a few years ago. looking for some part-time idea to work on that can change people lives. For example, would be interesting to improve issue with GP, it's often hard to find a time and/or qualified GP Overall good and accessible medical care getting worse and worse in the last few years. Any ideas how can we improve it?

The issue with doctors is a lot about supply and demand. Based on your jurisdiction, becoming a doctor requires a lot of time and approval from a governing body, which forms a bottleneck on supply. For example, in the US, the limiting factor is the number of available residency slots. That's a legal and political problem, and you cannot solve that with tech.
Of course, nobody says your technical solution has to be about increasing the number of doctors - access to healthcare can be improved by, say, helping doctors examine or treat more patients than before by automating the mundane stuff, or even some sort of miracle tech that can take care of the most common illnesses without any doctor's intervention (I'm skeptical that this would be possible without AGI).
It's definitely not the kind of thing you can fix in a solo team part time, though.
