Computer diagnosis algorithms

I don't understand how an algorithm can be used to diagnose. Is it curve-fitting based on previous cases of patient data?

5/27: probably. the machine learning is probably on patient data used to fit symptoms and measurements of previous patients to match diseases. like webmd but more quantitative.
