At Medgadget we’re optimistic about the potential of IBM‘s Watson computer to improve clinical workflow and efficiency, which is why we were excited to learn about the first integration of Watson into an EMR. Modernizing Medicine has staked its claim in a relatively crowded EMR space by focusing on specialty-based medicine, such as dermatology and ophthalmology, as well as offering a structured data framework enabled by their mobile-compatible system. We spoke to the company’s CEO, Dan Cane, last year and decided to follow up with him again to learn more about the Watson integration and recap what the company does for those who have not heard about it.
