Topcon has joined IBM’s Watson Health medical imaging collaborative, according to a press release.
Watson Health is comprised of 16 partners, including academic medical centers, health systems, ambulatory radiology providers and imaging technology companies. The partners will provide Watson with insight from a variety of sources, such as medical imaging data, electronic health records, radiology and pathology reports, lab results, doctors’ progress notes, medical journals, clinical care guidelines and published studies.
IBM plans for Topcon and its subsidiary companies to train Watson on relevant ophthalmic imaging needs.
