The knowledge-vs.-wisdom theme came up again. (See the “Tomatoes and Medtech” blog.) This time it arose during a panel session at last week’s Cleveland Clinic Innovation Summit. The context was a discussion about Watson, the IBM supercomputer that first gained notoriety on "Jeopardy!" when it beat the best of the best human contestants.
Now, the IBM-Cleveland Clinic WatsonPaths collaboration promises to bring Watson software to a hospital or clinic near you. An IBM press release explains what IBM scientists, together with Cleveland Clinic doctors, are accomplishing: “WatsonPaths explores a complex scenario and draws conclusions much like people do in real life. When presented with a medical case, WatsonPaths extracts statements based on the knowledge it has learned as a result of being trained by medical doctors and from medical literature.”
