IBM Commercial: Data Analysis and Predictions for Smarter Healthcare Decisions

http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/index.html?cm_mmc=agus_brsp2hp-20100301-106aw01w-_-v-_-datababyviz-_-youtube At Toronto Hospital, IBM helps doctors evaluate data from patient records. Real, volunteered, patient data was used to create the data visualizations depicted in this spot. Through data analysis, doctors can identify danger signs and make intelligent decisions to prevent life-threatening infections.

This is a baby. A baby generating data in a neonatal ward. Every heartbeat. Every breath. Every anomaly. From over a thousand pieces of unique information per second. Helping doctors find new ways to detect life-threatening infections up to 24 hours sooner. On a smarter planet, analyze the data and you can predict what will happen faster. So you can do what they’re doing in Toronto. And build a smarter hospital. Let’s build a smarter planet.

Why Data Matters: Extracting Insights, Making Better Decisions

Today, people and machines together create new data at a rate 8 times the amount of data in all of the libraries in the U.S. IBM helps businesses identify trends from data to make intelligent business decisions. Data analysis helps businesses see clearly.

Jai Menon: Every day we are creating 15 petabytes of new data. That’s 8 times as much data as there is in all of the libraries in the United States combined.
Julia Grace: Facebook is data, tweets are data, conversations are data
Jai Menon: It’s not just the data that’s authored, it’s not just the data that people create on their own, it’s also machine generated data.
John Cohn: Were at a really interesting inflection point where we now can get enough data together and enough compute power together and enough bandwidth together in real time or near enough real time that I can do something about it.
Julia Grace: How do you collect and tailor information so as that you can consume it quickly and efficiently and work smarter.
Jeff Jonas: As you get more data and you start weaving it together you actually start assembling things you get actual pictures, your’e not staring at pixels anymore, you actually see chunks of the puzzle.
Julia Grace: If we can analyze and mine this data then we can understand it. And if we can understand it then we can understand trends about it.
Jeff Jonas: How do you do that in billions of rows of data? in real time? to service missions from advertising to healthcare to financial services.
Jai Menon: We’ve got examples of working with companies where we were able to reduce by 50 percent the churn in their customer base by looking at these kinds of analytics.
Jeff Jonas: Really smart organizations are already making sense of what they know as they come to know it. And then make really fine grained decisions, accurate decisions.
John Cohn: That is going to yield benefits in everything, medicine, ecology, resource management even entertainment, and that’s whats the great thing by the smarter planet
Jeff Jonas: So a lot of organizations feel overwhelmed by data, but the reality is they have seen nothing yet.
John Cohn: You know the more we instrument the world, the more sensors we put out the more data we collect you know you might think we would get inundated but it actually it’s the opposite the more data you have the clearer you see.

Honda Develops New Personal Mobility Device With the Goal of Co-existing in Harmony with People World’s first drive system that enables movement in all directions

TOKYO, Japan, September 24, 2009 – Pursuing the concept of “harmony with people” Honda has developed a new personal mobility technology and unveiled U3-X, a compact experimental device that fits comfortably between the rider’s legs, to provide free movement in all directions just as in human walking – forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally. Honda will continue research and development of the device including experiments in a real-world environment to verify the practicality of the device.

Honda has unveiled an electric personal transporter they say may be the future of indoor transportation in Japan.

IBM Commercial: Identifying Patterns in Data Reveals Insights into the Future

http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/index.html?cm_mmc=agus_brsp2hp-20100301-106aw01w-_-v-_-future-_-youtube IBM helps businesses extract insights from data to predict what will happen next and allow for intelligent business decisions.

IBMer Julia Grace: People get excited about tomorrow. I love yesterday. Yesterday holds the answers. On a smarter planet, we can compare trillions of pieces of data about the past with what is happening now to help anticipate infectious disease, potential blackouts, when a delivery will arrive. I use the past to predict the future. I’m an IBMer. Let’s build a smarter planet.

IBM Commercial: Making Sense of Data On A Smarter Planet

http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/index.html?cm_mmc=agus_brsp2hp-20100301-106aw01w-_-v-_-perceptions-_-youtube IBM helps businesses analyze disparate sources of data in real-time, helping transportation and banking industries make smarter decisions.

IBMer John Cohn: We are surrounded by information. Human beings use their 5 senses to understand the world. On a smarter planet, organizations now have the same ability to analyze data from multiple sources and make sense of it instantly. Banks can anticipate credit fraud. Trains run with fewer delays. The more types of data we understand, the smarter we become. I help organizations sense the world around them. I’m an IBMer. Let’s build a smarter planet.

IBM Commercial: A Smarter Planet Relies On Data Analysis

http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/index.html?cm_mmc=agus_brsp2hp-20100301-106aw01w-_-v-_-anthem-_-youtube Understanding data patterns is important to industries like healthcare, transportation and energy and utilities. For that reason, efficient data management and analysis is essential to a Smarter Planet.

Voiceover: Our planet is alive with data. It’s generated by cars on a freeway. Patients in a hospital. Electricity in the grid. The more we understand data, the more answers we find. Patterns are easing traffic in over 400 cities. Finding disease 50 times faster. Reducing energy costs by 10%. On a smarter planet, we can analyze all the data we now see to make the world work better. Let’s build a smarter planet.
