Food is a powerful force. As a former nurse, someone who's volunteered feeding hungry children in some of the poorest regions of the world and a healthcare technology executive, I've seen firsthand food's power to bring people together and help them to learn from each other. So last month at Mobile World Congress when I had the opportunity to sit down to an intimate meal cooked by Michelin-starred chef Carles Abellán and talk augmented intelligence with other experts, I jumped at the invitation. The meal began with an unexpected yet welcome combination of peach bloody mary and oysters, and ended with a strawberry cream cake. Throughout the meal, we shared a lively discussion on technology and how it's affecting our world today. Back in the kitchen, an unseen guest aided the chef to bring the unique flavors -- and vibrant discussions -- to life: Chef Watson.
