Part 1: IBM's research labs are like a candy shop for technologists. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, we take a look at Artemis and Blue Spruce, tools used for healthcare analytics and real-time collaboration.
Fantastic applications and continued leadership by IBM to develop technology solutions.
I agree, danish.sultan, with your assessment. The only additional comment I would make about the physician use, is that as I see the application in an ICU, the physician would actually be supported by nurses and technicians that are currently reading the monitors. This would give more tools to them to alert the doctors proactively with changes in condition.
Thank for sharing this information. The Blue Spruce idea is very appealing. Although there are some other solutions of the same kind already in the market but IBM has come up with some really innovative additions. It is interesting to see options like adding on-the-fly comments and pointers (as he did on the x-ray).
For Artemis, I would say, while it looks promising and a step ahead, I am not sure if it is user-friendly enough to be adapted very easily. We cannot expect medical staff and doctors to be that much technologically minded to make great use of a system like this. That means there is plenty of room for improvement as far as usability is concerned.

As customer expectations shift and business becomes more complex, companies must become more agile to cope with what IBM VP Paul Brunet calls the "new normal." See how IBM customer, American Well, is using technology to technology to build smarter business processes and new healthcare services.
Just like businesses, cities compete in a global marketplace. By leveraging technology, they can use information to engage their communities, deliver better services, and lure prospective citizens.
When it comes to innovation, midmarket firms frequently lead the way. Take the budding field of personalized medicine, where forward-looking organizations like New Jersey's Coriell Institute are laying groundwork for a new generation of drugs that will be uniquely tailored to each individual patient. A small nonprofit with fewer than 200 employees, Coriell is leveraging IBM technology to create a next-generation "DNA bank," a critical tool for constructing tomorrow's "smart" medicines and treatments
An ever-increasing number of businesses are using social software to enable project managers to efficiently connect to individuals, groups of people and even entire communities. This ability to share knowledge and efficiently leverage people’s interests and skillsets enables companies of any size to remain flexible and agile when it comes to developing new products and ideas. We visited the IBM Research facility in Cambridge, Mass., for a 21st Century take on the old adage: It’s not what you know, but who you know.
As organizations become more global, opportunities to enter new markets and offer new solutions will drive future workforce investment, regardless of the region. In a new study from IBM, some 700 HR executives offer insights into the future of workforce management and leadership in a dynamic global marketplace. We sat down with IBM's VP of HR for workforce analytics to explore these issues.
Like profitability and market share, business agility is something that every company strives for. But in today’s economic climate, with businesses operating in a highly challenging and ever more complex environment, how flexible you are and how rapidly you can respond to new opportunities and adapt to new challenges may well determine the success or failure of your enterprise.
IBM is a company known for its ability to help other companies streamline their processes and become more agile. To get more insight on this, we sat down with Nancy Pearson, IBM’s vice president for BPM, SOA, and Websphere marketing.
