BigField GEG Tech's insight:
A 37-year-old Indian software engineer was recently diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer which was spreading fast in both her breasts. This increased the risk of both her breasts getting surgically removed. She went to a hospital in Bengaluru where Dr. Somashekhar S. P., a top oncologist, fed her medical records and genomics data into IBM's Watson Supercomputer. In just sixty seconds Watson threw up several treatment options and gathered evidence specific to her health needs.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Scientists at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet have managed to build a fully functional neuron by using organic bioelectronics. This artificial neuron contain no ‘living’ parts, but is capable of mimicking the function of a human nerve cell and communicate in the same way as our own neurons do.
