IBM Watson: How Cognitive Computing Can Be Applied to Big DataChallenges in Life Sciences Research
Basic science, clinical research, and clinical practice generatebig data. From the basic science of genetics, proteomics, andmetabolomics to clinical research and real-world studies, thesedata can be used to support the discovery of novel therapeutics.1,2 This article reviews a cognitive technology called IBM Watson anddescribes early pilot projects. The project outcomes suggest thatWatson can leverage big data in a manner that speeds insight andaccelerates life sciences discoveries. This commentary is a 5-partdiscussion of the following: (1) the need for accelerateddiscovery, (2) the data hurdles that impede discovery,
