IBM's Watson Diagnosed Patient in Ten Minutes

After months of physician-failed diagnosis, a super computer steps in and saves the life of a female patient from Japan, suffering from leukemia. IBM Watson Health has committed to developing a partnership between humanity and technology with the goal of transforming global health. With the ability to read 40 million documents in 15 seconds, IBM's Watson –super computer powered with artificial intelligence- studied the patient's medical records for ten minutes and was able to compare her type of cancer against 20 million oncological records, according to International Business Times. Physicians in Japan decided to try out IBM's Watson on patients after all other treatment options had failed. The Watson revealed that the patient's condition was another form of leukemia and required a different treatment from the one originally prescribed.
