Healthcare

Medical records, texts, journals and research documents are all written in natural language – a language that computers traditionally struggle to understand. A system that instantly delivers a single, precise answer from these documents could transform the healthcare industry.

Thought leaders including Dr. Herbert Chase, Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia University School of Physicians and Surgeons, share their thoughts on how the DeepQA technology that powers Watson could impact the way doctors diagnose and treat patients.

“In healthcare, we talk about turning data into knowledge. That’s really what Watson does.”
