IBM Watson &
WellPoint
Our nation’s health care system is complex, and
health care information, from patient records
to new clinical discovery, is rapidly evolving.
That’s why we teamed up with IBM to address
some enormous challenges facing the health
care system.
WellPoint, IBM and other key industry experts,
such as Memorial Sloan Kettering, are creating
new and exciting products utilizing the very latest
advances in IBM Watson technology. We’re har-
nessing IBM Watson’s ability to analyze vast
amounts of data quickly to help speed up the
utilization management process, and to help
physicians more quickly and accurately identify
treatment options for complex health conditions,
such as cancer.
In 2013, WellPoint is working with oncologists
from the Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and
WESTMED Medical Group to test a new oncology
product we developed with Memorial Sloan
Kettering that utilizes IBM’s Watson technology.
