 A research team at IBM was inspired by the game show
Case Intro Jeopardy! to create Watson, a supercomputer that took on
the challenge of playing Jeopardy! and defeated the other
From a Game Winner to a Doctor! human opponents.

The MSKCC Cancer Center has started utilising Watson as a

therapy counsellor for oncology diagnoses. Watson is able to
use unstructured data with a vast amount of clinical expertise
data, molecular and genomic data from existing cancer case
histories, journal articles, doctors' notes, guidelines and best
practises from the national comprehensive cancer network,
thanks to its natural-language processing capabilities.

Cognitive systems can process & understand huge data,

engage in natural language dialects, analyze unstructured
data in conjunction with structured data, take context and
conflicting information into account to come up with optimal
solutions for complex decision making problems.

 What is the role played by Watson
in the discussion
Watson brings the intelligence that made it such a daunting Jeopardy! contestant into the medical world
by serving as a decision support system

A mix of methods, including natural language processing, hypothesis development, and evaluation, are
used by Watson. This makes it possible for Watson to effectively process enormous amounts of actual,
unstructured Big Data.

Watson facilitates evidence-based support for its suggestions and provides a platform for physicians to
look at a case from multiple perspectives

Watson can be spoken to by doctors thanks to its voice recognition skills, making it the ideal assistant to
support them in making crucial evidence-based decisions.
Based on clinical and patient data, it aids in developing recommendations for approving medical
treatments
 Does Watson eliminate the need for
human decision making
No, doctors use Watson to assist and enhance their decision-making skills. In this regard, Watson
functions more as an expert system(ES) than as an automated decision system (ADS).

Medical doctors are more than just machines that take input and give some sort of relevant output. To
really help a patient, a doctor is required to connect with the patient at many levels and this is what
Watson cant do perfectly.
Humans outpace robots when it comes to perception, especially in so-called “unstructured work
environments” for eg. work such as surgery is best left to humans
machines can’t yet compete with humans at work involving negotiation, persuasion or care as required in
