Watson

I read an article in Fast Company Magazine last night that got me excited about the power of computing for good.  IBM is currently testing their Watson computer as a resource for doctors.  The doctor can use an app to input various patient symptoms and then is given possible diagnoses and courses of treatment and how accurate the computer thinks those are.  So, it's really able to give you a second opinion right there.  The computer can search unbelievable quantities of articles, records, notes, etc. based on the keywords that are entered.  Pretty great tool for doctors to have at their disposal and for the health of patients too.
