A repository of data and information does not “think” it holds vast amounts of possibly valuable material. The challenge is to access stored information that we need, when we need it and to also be able to understand this information.
One person, thinking, deciding and acting in isolation is limited by who they are, what they know and the information they have readily available to them. While there is indeed a need and value for us to think, create and work independently, the ability for groups of people to connect and collaborate has proven to be incredibly valuable.
In healthcare, we are only seeing the beginning of augmented thinking for medical decision support, medical analysis, diagnosis, information retrieval and more. We are starting to use thinking computers to analyse and process mountains of noisy data, generate and retrieve relevant health information, using the network of millions of doctors and medical technologies cheaply, quickly everywhere.
