IBM Watson calculates all of this data to find relevant treatment plans. The combined data of doctors, scientists and, IBM Watson’s medical database is saving lives and changing medicine forever.

In conclusion, IBM Watson is using machine learning, medical expertise, and massive amounts of medical data to debate, save lives, and much much more.
