“Using a computerized decision making processes similar to IBM’s wiz computer ‘Watson’ that won the game show ‘Jeopardy,’ researchers plugged in big medical data sources and tasked it to simulate treatment outcomes for 500 patients, most of whom suffered from clinical depression and at least one other chronic condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Using data from actual patient-doctor treatment sessions, real-life outcomes were compared to simulated treatment regiments and the computer was nearly 42 percent better at diagnosing illnesses and prescribing effective treatments than human doctors.”
