“By combining the Association’s enormous body of valuable data with Watson’s cognitive computing capabilities, we will empower people living with diabetes, clinicians and researchers with better data and better insights, which ultimately can lead to better outcomes.”
The plans include several potential service offerings, including a cognitive diabetes database for use by healthcare providers and a cloud-based data and insights service for researchers.
Announcing the tie-up at the ADA’s annual scientific meeting earlier this month, IBM and the ADA also outlined their plans for a developer challenge to produce new ‘cognitive’ apps for the prevention and management of diabetes.
