IBM is centralized, and they need patient ID medical cards to be able to apply neural network learning. The only way to be able to do that is to buy private hospitals or analytical firms and acquire medical records of patients. They did so in 2016-2017 , they bought for $2.6 billion, a medical analytics firm, BUT it is projected that they would need to spend around $135 billion to gather "big data" for ANN learning to be efficient in Watson Health.
Safe to say, not even Apple or Google is ready to spend that much just to lift the project and just begin to introduce it to the masses, much less IBM.
Thats where Skychain comes in! Decentralization.
Skychain is the alternative. And this technology is going to revolutionize healthcare.
Think about it. What are the 2 BIGGEST technologies that are going to drive human civilization forward, what is the future?
Its Artificial Intelligence and blockchain. In every industry/aspect of our society.
Skychain is starting with medicine.
Imagine a SciFi movie where the doctor inputs all of the patients data in to a computer and the the computer tells the doctor everything thats wrong with the patent and what to do to prevent it. Like Star Trek.
That is coming. Undeniable, just like electric cars, fusion power plants, space travel, it is the future.
There is no competitor in this field except for IBM. Thanks to IBM we now know this technology is possible, they proved the concept. But it is not them who will make the tech mainstream.
