IBM and health startup docdok.health are using big data and apps to tackle lung disease
IBM Research is collaborating with health startup docdok.health to develop technologies to help patients and doctors manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The project, named CAir, will begin clinical trials in Zurich next year. Participants in the trial will wear Internet of Things (IoT) devices to record symptoms, which will be accessed by doctors using docdok.healths platform. The data collected will be analyzed using IBMs artificial intelligence (AI) software to detect patterns and correlations. The goal is to improve patient care and prevent exacerbations of the disease. The collaboration aims to make healthcare more data-driven and patient-centric, allowing doctors to focus more on patient interaction. The technology is still in its early stages but shows promise for the future of healthcare.
