“In 2020, Over 30 Billion Connected
Devices Will Be In Use.” – Gartner
“By 2020, there’s gonna be loads of
connected things, I can never
remember how many and it keeps
changing. And they’ll generate a stack
of data.” Angus McCann

Preface to first edition of “A Treatise on the Diseases of the Chest, in which they are described according to their Anatomical Characters,
and their Diagnosis established on a new Principle by means of Acoustick Instruments”, John Forbes M.D. 1821
“That it will ever come into general use,
notwithstanding its value, I am extremely doubtful;
because its beneficial application requires much time,
and gives a good deal of trouble both to the patient and
the practitioner; and because its whole hue and
character is foreign, and opposed to all our habits and
associations”.

IBM Watson for
Healthcare

“Medicine has become too complex. Only about 20% of the
knowledge clinicians use today is evidence-based.”
Steven Shapiro
Chief Medical & Scientific Officer
University Pittsburgh Medical Center
1. Information Systems Can Prevent Errors and Improve Quality, Balas EA, J Am Med Inform Assoc 2001
2. Strategies for coping with information overload. Smith.R. BMJ 2010
17 years < 5 hr / mth
81% of physicians spend
< 5 hours / month reading
medical journals
“takes an average of 17
years to implement
clinical research results
in daily practice” 1

Healthcare is “dying of thirst in an ocean of data”

Easy Questions?
ln((12,546,798 * π)) ^ 2 / 34,567.46 = 0.00885

Hard Questions?
Computer programs are explicit, fast and exacting in their calculations with numbers and
symbols….But Natural Language is implicit, highly contextual, ambiguous and often
imprecise.
 Where was X born?
One day, from among his city views of Ulm, Otto chose a water color to send to Albert
Einstein as a remembrance of Einstein´s birthplace.

IBM Grand Challenges
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/us/en/icons/deepblue/

Analyzes large volumes of unstructured
and structured data
Combines large amounts of unstructured
data with structured data to be analyzed
together
Interprets and understands natural
language questions
Understands ambiguous and imprecise
questions using sophisticated natural
language algorithms
Generates and evaluates hypotheses
and quantifies confidence in answers
Identifies many answers to questions with
evidence to "explain" rationale for answers
Supports iterative
dialogue to refine results
Enables iterative and interactive question
and answering to refine and improve results
Adapts and learns to
improve results over time
Learns from additional evidence, additional
questions and mistakes to improve
accuracy over time
Watson’s Five Core Capabilities

Business problem:
Need better individualized cancer treatment plans
Solution:
• Suggestions to help inform oncologists’ decisions based
on 600K+ pieces of evidence and 2M pages of text
from 42 publications
• Analyzes patient data against thousands of historical
cases and trained through 5000+ Memorial Sloan-
Kettering MD and analyst hours
• Evolves with the fast-changing field
Attacking the cause of
one in four deaths
Watson helping oncologists treat cancer patients

IBM Watson
Oncology
Built with Memorial Sloan Kettering

Business problem:
No easy way to search eligibility criteria at point of care to match patients to clinical trials
Solution:
• Identify all the relevant clinical attributes needed to search across clinical trials for a disease
• Instantly check the patient’s eligibility
• Provide an ordered list of relevant clinical trials with the degree of match
• Provide criteria (inclusion / exclusion) level evaluation based on the patient’s attributes
• Dynamically re-evaluate the case based on changes to clinical attributes
Overall only 3%1
of cancer
patients are on clinical trials
Watson quickly matches patients to clinical trials

In the nineteenth century health was transformed by clear,
clean water. In the twenty-first century, health will be
transformed by clean clear knowledge
