Pharma puts Watson brain to work to speed up R&D, cut drug development costs

If we had anything approaching even a mediocre stroke association they would be working with Dr. Watson to identify drugs that need further testing to stop the neuronal cascade of death.  I know I'm pretty smart but I've only identified 177 possibilities and I can't hold a candle to Dr. Watson.  F*ck it all, you damned lazy stroke medical people, do something to solve all the problems in stroke.  Quadrilllions of neurons are dying every day because you are sitting on your ass waiting for somebody else to solve the difficult problems in stroke. Schadenfreude will eventually get you after you have your stroke and you have to try to recover with the existing pathetic non-protocols.

Johnson & Johnson and Sanofi are using IBM Watson’s computer brain/big data cruncher to support research and development. It will be used to identify new applications for drugs that have already been developed and to leaf through scientific papers that detail clinical trial outcomes, according to a statement from IBM. The partnerships follow a new development in Watson’s evolution that help it visually uncover patterns and pinpoint connections in related data to accelerate the discovery process and advance science research.
“Watson now has the ability to understand the language of chemistry, biology, legal and intellectual property, giving scientists the ability to make connections with data that others don’t see, which can lead to rapid breakthrough in discoveries,” the statement said.
