2015 IBM Annual Report 5
In IBM Watson Health, for example, our
partners include Medtronic, Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center, the New York Genome
Center and CVS Health. We have enhanced
our capabilities in healthcare with expertise and
data sets acquired through population health
management leader Phytel, health data
analytics provider Explorys and medical images
fi rm Merge Healthcare. In February 2016 we
announced our intention to acquire Truven
Health Analytics, a leading provider of cloud-
based healthcare data, analytics and insights.
And Watson is being trained by the world’s
leading practitioners and researchers in multiple
fi elds of life sciences, medicine and healthcare.
Because these IBM Watson units will be
fed by an enormous new volume and variety of
data, we have moved aggressively to expand
our clients’ access to it, through partnerships
with companies such as Twitter and Box and our
acquisition of assets from The Weather Company.
IBM Watson today is a rapidly expanding
business, with clients in 36 countries, including
leaders and start-ups in healthcare, fi nancial
services, retail, energy, automotive, government
and more. And we continue to grow Watson’s
capabilities—for example, giving it the capacity to
“see” and expanding its natural language range
beyond English—so far including Japanese,
Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic.
“ We can literally build
cognition into everything
digital. With Watson,
every digital application,
product and process
can understand, reason
and learn.”
