Title: Re: Watson diagnoses obscure leukemia Post by: Father mike on August 10, 2016, 11:01:06 AM I was talking to a somebody who works for a medical information company a few weeks ago. When I brought up Watson, he sort of laughed. He said that Watson was VERY solid, but it wasn't going to be deployed for a while because IBM is fighting all the hospitals and provider networks on who owns the patient data that's collected.
EDIT: To clarify, IBM doesn't want the data to sell you Viagra or life insurance. HIPAA prevents that. First Watson is only as good as its underlying database. Healthcare Providers could collect a large enough db and try to launch a competing produuct. Second, can you imagine the actuarial tables that could be created from the complete, hyperaccurate medical records of 1/3 of the population? What would Blue Cross pay for that? For exclusive access?

But nobody wants them in on this fight. Title: Re: Watson diagnoses obscure leukemia Post by: Samwise on August 11, 2016, 02:00:24 PM I wish House was still on the air so we could have a "John Henry" episode with House racing a supercomputer to correctly diagnose a patient.

Damn, now I want this too and I didn't even realize it.

Title: Re: Watson diagnoses obscure leukemia Post by: Samwise on August 11, 2016, 02:28:00 PM I've been rewatching House on Netflix recently and I just got to the one where he's trying to figure out how a cat in a nursing home predicts that people are going to die.
I love that that episode starts with him setting up a Hot Wheels course with a shark jump in it. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Watson diagnoses obscure leukemia Post by: Nebu on August 11, 2016, 03:05:31 PM What if Skynet actually conquers the world.... with love?
