Manipal Hospitals is the first healthcare provider in India to adopt Watson for Oncology, a comprehensive technology platform for enhancing oncology treatment in our country. Manipal Hospitals is a pioneer in oncology care and treats thousands of cancer patients every year in its cancer care centres. With this deployment of IBM Watson for oncology by Manipal Hospitals, the overall expertise expects multi-fold growth in the health industry.

Watson for Oncology is a powerful cognitive technology platform that applies natural language processing and machine learning to assist oncologists and their care teams in addressing cancer treatment efficiently. IBM Watson is designed with a unique capability to analyze a patient’s medical record to help identify personalized treatment options using clinical evidence. It can understand the content in a file which is used to make inferences using Native Language Processing. It can also analyze the case information, and identify a prioritized list of treatment options based on Memorial Sloan Kettering expertise and training.

With IBM Watson, our medical experts at Manipal Hospitals can apply their decades of experience to interpret the clinical information of patients.

Also, all cancer patients in India can avail of the services of Watson for Oncology in these 5 simple steps.

  1. Provide patient details via an online form
  2. Upload relevant documents as per the checklist
  3. Make online payments
  4. Avail of a complimentary video consultation with a Manipal Oncologist

Overall, Manipal Hospitals’ adoption of IBM Watson for Oncology is expected to revolutionize the cancer care industry by delivering better and more advanced oncology treatment to all cancer patients.
