I would prefer Dr. Watson to any human doctor for my stroke care. Although the Dr. is only as good as the input supplied. And that is the major problem with stroke. There seems to be NO written protocols for stroke rehabilitation, and of course no efficacy percentages. There is so much to accomplish and we have the stroke world working on World Stroke Day - Oct. 29. What a joke and waste of time.

If a physician or a patient could tap a clinical question into a
smartphone and get an answer -- not just a list of references or
websites -- and that answer came with a 82% likelihood that it is the
"best" answer, would it make a difference in clinical care?
The
IBM Watson folks and a handful of healthcare startups are betting that
it will, and that was the theme of a daylong rollout of "Watson at Scale,"
designed to show off Watson's new global headquarters at 51 Astor
Place, where the elevators have no buttons and one can be "immersed" in
the Watson cognitive computing experience.
Most Americans know Watson as the computer that took on "Jeopardy" champ Ken Jennings and summarily defeated him.
