How To Boost Competitive Advantage with Cognitive Computing
Between AI-powered chatbots and gadget-based voice assistants, cognitive computing capabilities have captured the public imagination. But consumer products are just the tip of the iceberg. Under the surface, cognitive computing adoption in the business world is growing rapidly. In fact, IDC predicts that global spending on cognitive systems will grow to more than $31 billion […]
Using Cognitive to Help Answer Questions About Cognitive
As cognitive computing grows in acceptance as a capability, as well as a concept, business leaders are beginning to ask new and important questions about how to approach these innovations. They want to know things like, how to apply cognitive to particular businesses and business challenges; where and how to get started; and what goals […]
How Cognitive, Analytics Hold the Keys to Your Heart
Across Canada, millions of people live with heart rhythm disturbances, otherwise known as arrhythmias. Some of the most common arrhythmias include atrial fibrillation (AF), electrical disturbances of the upper heart chambers; syncope, which is the sudden loss of consciousness; and, sudden cardiac death – all of which dramatically and negatively affects our citizens’ quality of […]
A Closer Look at One School District’s Digital Transformation
For the past 10 years, the focus of Coppell Independent School District (ISD) has been on transforming educational practices. We have worked hard to move away from the “stand and deliver” teaching model to one in which the teachers serve as facilitators and the students take more ownership of their learning. Coppell ISD is in […]
Blockchain’s Role in Improving Global Food Safety
The focus on safety throughout the global food supply chain is at an all-time high, for all the wrong reasons. The numbers of people sickened by contaminated food products continues to escalate and recalls are issued with increasing frequency. Like virtually every other complex issue in a world dominated by data and how it’s used, […]
Bringing Cloud Storage into the Hybrid Era
An interesting anomaly has quietly evolved in large enterprises in recent years. As organizations have rightly come to revere cloud computing as the path to true scalability, efficiency, and economics, one corner of it – storage – has been left to wallow in the silos of yesteryear, with limited advances or innovation. Researchers continue to […]
Watson Brings the Promise of Precision Medicine to the Fight Against Cancer
Today marks a very important milestone for our work in cancer with the launch of Watson Genomics from Quest Diagnostics. Helping doctors fighting cancer is a key part of our mission at IBM Watson Health, and it’s a challenge we’ve been helping the medical community tackle for nearly five years. But the overarching goal was […]
Why Hybrid Cloud is the Path to Innovation & Collaboration
The platform of choice and necessity for the digital age is the cloud — the future of information technology. In the era of cognitive computing, a world being rewritten in code, coders are becoming the architects of the future and cloud is the platform on which they are building. More important than providing a faster […]
Watson Gets Personal in the Fight Against Cancer
Cancer continues to be one of the biggest healthcare challenges in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 1.7 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. While many advances have been made to improve cancer treatment and care, it can still be devastating news for anyone receiving the diagnosis. It pains […]
Siemens Healthineers, IBM Team on Population Health Management
As any provider will tell you, a myriad of forces are dramatically shifting the healthcare landscape today. An aging and increasingly chronically ill population, the rapid growth of health data, and the continued digitization and consumerization of the industry are all part of healthcare’s new reality. Additionally — and perhaps most importantly — alternative, value-based […]
As Seen On 60 Minutes: Watson Accelerates Precision Oncology
Oncologists spend each day fighting a disease that is cruel and relentless. Yet, we find deep fulfillment from helping give a patient time they might not have had, and helping them achieve a good quality of life amid challenging circumstances. That’s what drives me every day in my work developing new approaches to cancer treatments. […]
Revolutionizing Cancer Care: Watson for Genomics
Tonight on the CBS ’60 Minutes’ news program more than 12 million viewers saw the power of artificial intelligence and cognitive computing to help revolutionize cancer care. What began in IBM’s labs with some of the world’s most talented researchers and engineers is now a commercial technology – Watson – that has been put to work by some […]
