When facing a life-threatening health crisis, it might sound good to have an intelligent supercomputer help inform your care, especially one that’s been trained by some of the worlds’ top oncologists. That’s the goal for IBM’s new AI-based technology, which was brought to TMU hospitals last year.

Spotlight spoke about the technology and its applications with Dr. Chun-You (Jim) Chen, radiation oncologist, self-taught programmer, and Chief Medical Information Officer at Wanfang Hospital. Dr. Chen created and continues to develop Wanfang Hospital’s “One Page” patient information system, and is in charge of clinical adoption and EMR system integration of Watson for Oncology in the Taipei Cancer Center of Taipei Medical University.
