The new super-computer watson, created by IBM company, recently demonstrated its ability to rapidly analyze enormous quantity of information.
Columbia University reports, a group of specialists in the region of medicine entire year experimented with the super-computer watson, forcing it to make diagnoses to real patients on base of disease histories analysis of other people and different reference information. As result watson issued three or four possible diagnoses, which the experienced specialists recognized as sufficiently precise.
Problem consists in the fact that the real doctor rarely combines the latitude of knowledge in all spheres of medicine with the depth. Super-computer possesses both latitude of knowledge in medicine and their depth. Only, what it cannot effectively make - this to associate with the patient and to recover the nuances of his emotional and psychological state.
Most likely, similar systems in the course of time will help doctors to check the accuracy of diagnosis, in this case proposing the versions of alternative diagnoses, which is also important for the correct treatment. Moreover, computer can adapt the program of treatment under the concrete patient, taking in account the existing contra-evidence and previous experience. Related Products :
