Read MoreIBM Watson Health: Cognitive healthcare outthinks data overload
A single patient’s electronic medical record (EMR) may contain over 100MB of complex and disparate data, and much of it is unstructured, such as text notes. That’s a lot to go through in one doctor’s visit. As part of IBM’s research with Cleveland Clinic, clinicians are working with Watson to explore how to navigate and process EMRs to unlock hidden insights within the data, with the goal of helping clinicians make more informed and accurate decisions about patient care. By comparing EMRs, recent diagnostic findings and medical history, and cross-referencing them with thousands of medical journals, Watson can begin to offer clinicians the benefit of more data, more time to plan the best treatments and more time to spend on patient care.

If you can find someone with a problem that needs solving and you can solve it manually, go ahead and do that for as long as you can, and then gradually automate the bottlenecks. It would be a little frightening to be solving users’ problems in a way that wasn’t yet automatic, but less frightening than the far more common case of having something automatic that doesn’t yet solve anyone’s problems.

Read MoreOutcome based pricing Exploring an ‘everything as a service’ model
Pricing based on customer outcomes has the potential to turn the buyer/seller relationship into more of a partnership, because both sides are working toward common objectives.
