IBM Watson: Advancingthe War Against Cancer

The Pulse of the Problems

Paths to Progress – by mining data and sharing multiple treatment options,Watson provides support to help physicians decide the best treatments

$750 billionspent on healthcare inthe US is wasted.5

Symptoms: A Chronic Condition – cancer cases and costs are growing

of late-stage cancer treatment trials funded by U.S.government are abandoned because of inefficiency.240%

20% – 44% of cancer cases receiveinitial misdiagnoses.3

Cancer costs are climbing

a year,faster than standardhealthcare costs.415% – 18% 3x

1.5 millionerrors are made in the way medicationsare prescribed, delivered, and taken.6

Healthcare facilities and researchers must cut costs and improve care.

IBM Watson is charting a new course in cancer research and treatment.

Acceleratebringing new drug

therapies to market

Identifying evidencebased individualizedtreatment options

Improving communicationbetween physicians andhealth plans to speed

time to treatment

Focus on Watson

Uses natural languageprocessing and analytics

Demonstrates whereadditional data is needed

Providessupporting evidencewith every response

Speeds uppre-approval time

Can respond to questionwithin seconds
