Watson enhances qualifications
Since 2011, the IBM Watson supercomputer has begun its work in the health sector: in cooperation with the medical organizations WellPoint and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, it seeks to help physicians diagnose diseases and choose treatment methods.
But, like any doctor (and all of us) , Watson needs constant professional development, and he goes to the Cleveland Medical School Clinic .
At the Cleveland Clinic College, medical students teach Watson more accurately and effectively diagnose and prescribe treatment. At the same time, students themselves receive new skills in using innovative technologies such as Watson in their future profession.

“Tomorrow's doctors will use new tools and technologies to supplement their own knowledge and experience in the field of medicine. Technology will never replace a doctor, but it can make us better. ” James Stoller, MD, chairman, Institute of Education, Cleveland Clinic.
College students, in determining what a patient is ill with, and how to treat it, use a simple visualization technique, schematically showing the causal relationship between the patient's symptoms and potential diagnoses.
IBM researchers based on such records create the WatsonPaths program, which is both a learning tool for the supercomputer and for students.
In the process of learning, the program gives a description of the patient and what he complains about. Students and Watson, building logical chains (for example, clumsiness in movements and trembling in the hands may indicate ataxia), try to make the correct diagnosis.
After completing the assignment, students compare their findings with the findings of a computer. If the solution patterns and, as a result, the answers are different, students can add additional comments. One of the most certainly useful features of the program is the ability to teach Watson to read the necessary meanings of words, thus improving his ability to correctly “understand” natural speech.
If the student’s answer matches that of Watson, the relationship between “cause and effect” is highlighted in bold, indicating the most probable chain.
When performing tasks, the supercomputer is guided by huge volumes of medical books and magazines loaded into it.
As a result of the training, the researchers expect that Watson will not only be able to collect and process all available data on a particular problem and give a correct diagnosis, but also that he will be able to show doctors in a convenient and simple way the chain of reasoning and the sources on which he gives the answer .
