Interview with Mike Rhodin, head of the IBM Watson Group. "We started a period of what I would consider in-market experimentation for the two years after the Jeopardy! match. We started working with a handful of companies that had approached us that wanted to start to experiment with the technology -- not to play Jeopardy!, but to use the underlying technology to start to solve problems. The preponderance of them were in the healthcare field. Industry luminaries like Memorial Sloan-Kettering or MD Anderson in cancer, or in general medicine, the Cleveland Clinic. They all started partnering with us to explore how we could take what was inside the Jeopardy! system and morph it into things that could be used in the healthcare profession. We did that for a couple years, and that gave us the confidence that led to the announcement in 2014 of the commercialization project and Watson Group."
