The HIPAA-enabled Watson Health Cloud is a new health and wellness solution from IBM, which includes cognitive computing for data analysis, analytics and storage.
In collaboration with Apple, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, the Watson Health Cloud will provide data and analysis for physicians and healthcare workers as well as analytics for researchers and other professionals.
"All this data can be overwhelming for providers and patients alike, but it also presents an unprecedented opportunity to transform the ways in which we manage our health," said John E. Kelly III, IBM senior vice president, solutions portfolio and research. "We need better ways to tap into and analyze all of this information in real-time to benefit patients and to improve wellness globally. Only IBM has the advanced cognitive capabilities of Watson and can pull together the vast ecosystem of partners, practitioners and researchers needed to drive change, as well as to provide the open, secure and scalable platform needed to make it all possible."
