Video 1. WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) –Would you trust a computer to diagnose your medical problem? What if it were a supercomputer that beat out the Jeopardy superstar Ken Jennings? Although IBM’s supercomputer Watson may not completely replace a doctor’s diagnosis, it will soon be helping some of them diagnose and choose among treatment options and medicines. Experts say this will help give patients confidence in their doctor’s decisions. Watson will be combined with WellPoint Inc., which has 34.2 million members, this year, integrating Watson’s lightning speed and deep health care database into its existing patient information. The WellPoint application will combine data from three sources: a patient’s chart and electronic records that a doctor or hospital has, the insurance company’s history of medicines and treatments, and Watson’s huge library of textbooks and medical journals.
