IBM sees Watson as a primary care provider's assistant ZDNet

IBM aiming to make Watson a helper to primary care physicians as it expands its cognitive computing footprint. At the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference, IBM outlined plans to connect Watson to primary, acute and behavioral data to get a complete view of a patient. The next wave of IT innovation will be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. We look at the ways companies can take advantage of it and how to get started. That Watson-primary care provider connection is being rolled out in Central New York in a six-county region and more than 2,000 providers.
