Seufert advises RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG on cooperation with IBM's "Watson"

 

Seufert Rechtsanwälte advise the German hospital company RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG on entry into the IT-based patient control with the help of the IBM artificial intelligence system "Watson".

The objective of the cooperation with IBM is to facilitate already at the pre-hospital phase a data-supported patient navigation appropriate to the inpatient or outpatient care required and so prevent expensive false referrals. In addition, "Watson" is also intended to support therapy decisions by recommending treatment.

The support system will initially be tested at the "Centre for unnamed and rare illnesses" of the Marburg University Hospital. The test phase will then be assessed and made accessible to other hospitals of the group.
