Title: IBM Watson: Innovation Transforming Healthcare
Watson Medical records, clinical notes, texts, journals and research documents are all written in natural language — a language that computers traditionally struggle to understand. A system that applies analytics to discover unique and actionable insights from this data could become an invaluable tool in aiding healthcare practitioners to deliver better care.
Megan Kennedy from IBM will demonstrate the technology behind Watson, the IBM® computing system that competed against human contestants on Jeopardy!, could be applied to the healthcare industry today to help improve clinical and business performance. Part of a far broader push in the health industry to incorporate computerised guidance into care, as doctors and hospitals adopt electronic medical records and other digital tools that can record, track and check their work.
Breakfast sessions are INCLUSIVE for people who have selected a FULL or DAY Registration, however numbers are limited to 64.
