IBM will develop the base Watson healthcare technology on which WellPoint's solution will run.
Watson, named after IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, is a computing system built by a team of IBM scientists who set out to accomplish a grand challenge – build a computing system that rivals a human's ability to answer questions posed in natural language with speed, accuracy and confidence. In recent years, few areas have advanced as rapidly as health care. Medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, chronic heart or kidney disease are incredibly intricate. Google set to revolutionize mHealth and medicine with Google Glasses?

Twine Sensor Allows You To Easily Create Internet Connected Systems. Twine has just started its journey on Kickstater, looking to make the jump from concept to manufacture and is a new device which has been designed to allow you to easily connect things and monitor them from the Internet.
Allowing you to create Internet connected systems and objects anywhere you have WiFi. Twine is low-power hardware device that works with real-time web software to make networked physical computing simple and versatile, say its creators. Twine is equipped with a wireless module tightly integrated with a cloud-based service, together with on-board temperature and vibration sensors, and an expansion connector allowing you to connect additional sensors if required.
Watch the promotional video after the jump to see it in action. Its developers explain how Twine has been designed to work: “The Spool web app makes it simple to set up and monitor your Twines from a browser anywhere. Biometric technology in action. Printable transistors usher in ‘internet of things’ How will we design products for the Internet of Things? As revolutionary as the mobile ecosystem is, it’s the interactions of more-intelligent connected devices with people outside the context of phones or computers that will drive more innovation, says Mark Rolston, the chief creative officer at Frog Design. Rolston, speaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference on Monday in Seattle described a future where devices become more contextually aware, thanks to embedded and connected sensors. Computers — the boxes that we consult in the form of tablets, mobile phones and desktops — are wonderful, but they take away from what it is to be human and to really connect with one another.
So the challenge and opportunity that lies ahead is how to get the computers out of computing, said Mark Rolston, the chief creative officer at frog. Speaking at the GigaOM RoadMap conference in San Francisco, Rolston took the audience through a vision of omnipresent computing. Siri: Say hello to the coming “invisible interface” 1Executive Summary After solely using a Google Android phone for nearly two years, I recently added an Apple iPhone 4S to my stable of smartphones.
Not because of the new dual-core A5 processor, advanced 8 megapixel camera sensor or retooled antenna design, however. What sold me on Apple’s latest handset wasn’t hardware at all: It was the promise of an “invisible interface” through Siri, the iPhone’s personal assistant software. Siri is arguably the first working example of how everyday people will interact with connected devices in the near future. Opportunistic Programming. Take a d.school class.
