In early 2016, after IBM's female director GinniRometty announced the transformation of the company's overall approach to cognitive solutions and cloud platform companies (CognitiveSolution & CloudPlatformCompany), IBM began to gradually show its own cognitive computing robot Watson in deep question and answer technology. Business value outside. For IBM, there are two landmark events in the field of cognitive computing and artificial intelligence. One is that the computer "DeepBlue" developed by IBM more than a decade ago defeated chess champion Kasparov; the second Yes, in 2011, Watson, a smart computer named after the founder of the company, Thomas J. Watson, won the quiz show "Jeopardy!" after three rounds of competition. "(The dangerous edge) champion. Watson's 7.7147 million US dollars, the two most intelligent human players who participated in this show are far behind. Nowadays, the size has been reduced from the main bedroom to three stacked pizza boxes. Watson, with more than 30 APIs, is busy bringing the promising medical field of the commercial business to the Chinese market. On August 12, 2016, WatsonforOncology (Watson Tumor Solution) entered China and represented WatsonHealth (Watson Health) to enter China. It will use cognitive computing technology to help China's medical development and promote “cognitive medicine†in China. Prior to this, Watson Health's application in the medical field was more concentrated in markets outside China. After the establishment of the Watson Medical business in April 2015, IBM first acquired several smaller medical data companies, and established partnerships with Apple, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, and also reached a partnership with the large pharmacy chain CVSHealth. This time, IBM Watson's ambition is to promote the development of cognitive healthcare in China by working with government agencies, medical institutions, business organizations and academic teams. “One of the outstanding challenges facing China's health care sector is that the allocation of quality health care resources is uneven. In addition to thinking about policies and systems, we must also solve solutions for technological innovation.†Chen Liming, Chairman of IBM Greater China Explain. Changed cancer diagnosis For cognitive business, Luo Ruilan's view is that "the future is cognitive, and we are moving toward a cognitive Internet of Things." The Internet of Things era of the Internet of Things has caused the current medical field to be too cumbersome. The data provided by Rob Merck, the leader of the IBM Watson Medical and Life Sciences project, is that there are 700,000 articles published each year in the field of research. Each researcher reads an average of 200 articles per year. “When all data sources are included, everyone is able to generate 1100 terabytes of data. This goes far beyond human cognitive ability, and it is impossible for the brain to handle such a large amount of data.†Thus, a system that can handle this massive amount of data in place of humans is highly anticipated in today's cognitive era. Three years ago, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center teamed up with IBM Watson to train the IBM Watson for Oncology. It is understood that this is a cognitive computing system-based solution that can analyze a large amount of data, including medical literature, patient health records, clinical trials and medical records, so that cancer patients can be personalized, symptomatic, and authoritative. Treatment recommendations. Specifically, after obtaining the patient's condition, WatsonforOncology can continuously screen information from the medical literature around the world, find the most relevant literature on the patient's cancer, and analyze the authoritative related cases, according to the patient's symptoms and Seek medical records and select treatment options that may be effective. According to data provided by the National Cancer Institute, there were approximately 1.7 million new cancer cases in the United States in 2016, of which approximately 600,000 will die. About 40% of Americans are diagnosed with cancer, which has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In just fifteen minutes, Watson's oncology solution can complete an in-depth analysis report that took several months to complete. For each medical recommendation, the system will provide evidence to allow doctors and patients to explore. The same cancer problem is also plaguing China today.
