Innovating for a healthier tomorrow
2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Patient Safety First Payment Innovation IBM Watson
In 2011, IBM’s Watson proved a computer can beat the best Jeopardy! champions. Now,
WellPoint has partnered with IBM to develop and pilot solutions to put IBM Watson to work
in its first commercial application.
IBM Watson can sift through roughly 200 million pages of data, analyze the information and
provide precise responses in a matter of seconds. By powering IBM Watson with the latest
evidence-based research and data from our vast patient experience, we can arm physicians
with information that will enable them to make the most informed health care decisions.
The use of IBM Watson may help create efficiencies in the health care industry.
Our immediate focus is to help doctors identify the best treatment options for cancer
patients. That’s why we are partnering with some of the nation’s top cancer research
facilities, treatment centers, and physicians.
Innovating for a healthier system
HEALTHIER SYSTEM
Improving patient health and wellbeing requires a
health care system that is smarter and more efficient
than today’s. We are paving the way by partnering
with physicians and other industry leaders to bring
next-generation tools to patient care.
