Technologies of tomorrow: cognitive computing in healthcare - Affairs Today

New technologies are expected to disrupt healthcare in the near future. Some of these are categorized as "cognitive computing" and take the shape of dynamic and probabilistic machines that are capable of learning from huge chunks of data for prescribing the best course of action. Hoping for an insight into how cognitive computing could impact healthcare, Affairs Today secured an interview with Dr. Sean McClure, Director and Data Scientist at Space-Time Insight. Affairs Today: What is your experience with cognitive computing systems in healthcare companies? Sean McLure: Cognitive computing, or software that uses machine learning to automate decisions normally made by humans, is playing an ever-larger role in healthcare.
