Modernizing Medicine is partnering with IBM Watson of Jeopardy! fame to expand its electronic medical assistant. <\/p>\n
With the help of the supercomputer, physicians will soon be able to ask a question of Watson about treatment research and get an immediate response as they're caring for a patient. <\/p>\n
The interaction would take place via Modernizing Medicine's iPad tablet customized for specialty physicians such as dermatologists. <\/p>\n
\"The next decade forward will be the most exciting we've ever seen in computing as we begin to ask the computer questions and get direct answers,\" said Dan Cane, co-founder and CEO of Modernizing Medicine, based in Boca Raton. <\/p>\n
IBM announced Friday that Modernizing Medicine was among three companies chosen for the IBM Watson Ecosystem program designed to develop a new generation of apps. <\/p>\n
\"The power of Watson is a game-changing proposition. Since we established a Watson developer ecosystem, we've seen the creativity flow from entrepreneurs around the world with business-changing ideas for the Watson technology,\" said Michael Rhodin, senior vice president for IBM Watson Group. <\/p>\n
Watson may be best known for the 2011 stunt when the supercomputer was pitted against the best players on the TV quiz show Jeopardy! The computer won. <\/p>\n
Cane said Watson represents a new era in which a computer can understand natural language while Modernizing Medicine collects data to help doctors learn from treatment outcomes. <\/p>\n
With Watson, doctors will be able to instantly access research and information about clinical trials in hundreds of medical journals to better assess a treatment for a patient. <\/p>\n
\"Watson allows us to combine both worlds,\" Cane said. \"It's a phenomenal collaboration.\" <\/p>\n
