re: IBM Watson Finally Graduates Medical School
With so much data available, it's only logical that this is the progression of medicine: having computers sort through the relevant data and provide suggestions to the doctors based off results of past patients. Regardless of the data available and the systems used, I still strongly feel that there will never be a replacement to a competent team of specialists. It will be interesting to see what the future holds in terms of computer aided research and medicine though!
