Watson Weekly: Revenue Wait Watcher?
January 9, 2016
I read another bit of IBM Watson public relations’ fluff. The story was “CES 2016: IBM Announces Watson as a Personal Fitness Coach.” I assume that IBM Watson’s ability to craft recipes with tamarind will go from the kitchen to the gym with aplomb.
According to the article:
The news signals the rapid adoption of Watson technology by consumers and to illustrate this, announced that Under Armour and IBM have developed a new cognitive coaching system. Watson, will serve as a personal health consultant, fitness trainer and assistant by providing athletes with timely, evidence-based coaching about health and fitness-related issues. Where Watson differs from other systems is that it determines outcomes achieved based on others “like you.” It integrates IBM Watson’s technology with the data from Under Armour’s Connected Fitness community – a vast digital health and fitness community of more than 160 million members.
I hope that IBM lifts the weight from the shoulders of IBM stakeholders who want to be buoyed on a rush of new revenues. Vast too. A consumer product?

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user
friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a great job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome.
Exceptional Blog!
