IBM Watson Case Deploying Cognitive Computing Software in an Oncology Unit

Name Course Instructor Date
The discussion questions revolve around the IBM Watson case deploying cognitive computing software in an oncology unit for support of clinical and research purposes found on page 635-639 of your textbook. What are the big data under consideration in this scenario an how do you see those data being used by IBM Watson to generate value?
IBM Watson’s big data and analytics are big data solutions that support decisions and develop capabilities. IBM Watson is utilized in oncology research where there is access to large volumes of data making it easier to retrieve patient information, analyze this information, evaluate the treatment options, and support evidence-based decision making (McBride & Tietze, 2019). However, there is a need for the staff members to be well trained to use IBM Watson and for the performance improvement team to monitor progress and improve patient outcomes
The big data considerations include using applications, analytics, and computing to accelerate oncology research as it is a data-crunching technology capable of processing large volumes of data....
