MANIPAL HOSPITALS’ corporate and teaching facilities in India will adopt IBM’s Watson for Oncology, a cognitive computing platform that analyzes data to identify evidence-based treatment options.
This will be the first deployment of Watson in India.
Watson for Oncology was developed by IBM in concert with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. To date, Watson for Oncology has ingested nearly 15 million pages of medical content, including more than 200 medical textbooks and 300 medical journals. This year alone, nearly 44,000 oncology research papers have been published in medical journals around the world. This amounts to nearly 122 new papers published every day.
