IBM today announced the launch of a new suite of healthcare information sharing and analytics technologies at the Guang Dong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which combines the strengths of TCM and Modern Western Medicine (MWM). The system incorporates IBM’s advanced semantics technology which allows it to understand and analyze the scientific meaning of specific terms even when other terms are used in patient records.
