Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who choose "active surveillance" over immediate treatment can follow changes in their PSA over time to help with decisionmaking.
Jack Dowie, emeritus professor at University College London, who has developed a computer programme to helpdecisionmaking believes it is not adequate for doctors to tell patients about their intuitive diagnosis.
The ability to use Watson to answer complex questions posed in natural language with speed, accuracy and confidence has enormous potential to help improve decisionmaking across a variety of industries from health care, to retail, telecommunications and financial services.
