NEW YORK CITY - 05 May 2015: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new commercial partnerships and cognitive computing apps and services to advance the adoption of Watson technologies worldwide. As part of today's news, the company is also announcing new partner-led client engagements to apply the power of Watson to transform industries and professions.
The news was announced at World of Watson in New York City, an IBM symposium to address the role of cognitive computing in a new era of computing with business and industry leaders. Today's announcements highlight a number of new partnerships, in-market apps, partner-led client engagements, and cognitive computing apps and services, including:
Watson powered apps and technologies from Talkspace, Go Moment, Decibel and Epic
Client engagements with Line Hotel, Centura Health, and Aberdeen Veterinary Clinic
Content partnerships with Associated Press and others to expand Watson's knowledge base
AlchemyData service to aggregate, analyze and organize historical news and editorial data
We realized early on how important this ecosystem would be in bringing Watson to every corner of the globe and it's inspiring to see our partners take us into entirely new and interesting spaces, said Mike Rhodin, senior vice president, IBM Watson. We continue to invest in both external and internal innovation to further this momentum, whether that's through acquisitions like AlchemyAPI, direct investments through our seed fund, or new breakthroughs by IBM Research.
IBM has welcomed more than 270 new commercial partners to the Watson Ecosystem. They join a community of tens of thousands of developers, entrepreneurs and other enthusiasts who have created thousands of apps via the Watson Zone on Bluemix IBM s cloud innovation platform that is built on open standards and allows any user to tap into over 100 development tools, which include Watson services, to rapidly build, deploy and manage apps across any cloud environment.
New Partner Apps and Client Engagements
The transformative power of Watson and cognitive computing continues to take hold across a variety of industry domains through new partner app launches and partner-led client engagements:
Media & Entertainment: Decibel is changing the way people discover and enjoy new music through MusicGeek, an app powered by IBM Watson. MusicGeek will use Watson analytics to identify musical connections and trends from publications, blogs and social media. It combines those insights with Decibel's data to provide users with new song and artist recommendations. See it in action here.
Oil & Gas: Energy companies face an increasing challenge in keeping pace with regulatory guidelines. The legal requirements to operate refineries and chemical plants run to many thousands of pages, and the costs of incident management and failure to comply with legislation are increasing every quarter. Technicians tasked with keeping the systems running are required to know almost as much about the law as they do about engineering. Arria NLG's Polus solution, powered by IBM Watson, allows operations staff to generate reports automatically from the systems they monitor, and directly query legislation to get the answers they need. Time is saved, risks are mitigated, and compliance is assured.
Veterinary Medicine: LifeLearn is changing the face of veterinary medicine through SofieTM, a mobile app powered by IBM Watson that helps veterinarians identify potential conditions and practice evidence-based medicine in the treatment of animals. The Aberdeen Veterinary Clinic is one of the first practices to adopt Sofie to enhance point-of-care decisions for its patients. Aberdeen's veterinarians simply access the Ask Sofie tab, where they can type in simple, direct questions based on initial patient consultations. See it in action here.
Travel & Hospitality: Go Moment is using Watson to power its mobile guest engagement app, Rev1. Rev1 uses Watson's natural language processing and Q&A capabilities to help hotel concierge and front desk staff quickly address guest needs and inquiries. The Line Hotel in Los Angeles is one of the first to offer the new platform, which went live in March.
Mental Health: To improve the delivery of online mental health treatment, Talkspace is using Watson to better match patients with licensed therapists. Once a prospective patient has opted in, the new online platform gives therapists insights about their personality, thinking style and emotional stress prior to providing clinical decision support and during consultations.
Engineering: ENGEO is using Watson for its GoFetchCode app to bring expertise to engineers world-wide and help them make critical decisions. Whether in developed countries, the developing world, or following a natural disaster, practitioners need to have access to expertise around infrastructure. Leveraging Watson's cognitive capabilities, users can tap into engineering expertise, asking questions in natural language with answers at their fingertips.
Personalized Health: Welltok, a member of the new Watson Health ecosystem and one of IBM's first direct investments to seed Watson innovation, is helping Centura Health give individuals with heart conditions personalized guidance to help manage and optimize their health via its Caf Well Concierge app. Powered by Watson, the app gives consumers relevant and actionable recommendations based on their health conditions, interests and goals.
Personalized Health: hc1.com is empowering healthcare professionals to deliver highly personalized patient care and service through hc1 Patient Insights, an app powered by IBM Watson that analyzes patient interactions to tailor future engagement based on personality insights. Eskenazi Health, an Indianapolis based health system, will leverage the app to acquire
