CognitiveScale has two products utilizing machine learning: Engage, which supports customer engagement, and Amplify, which augments worker expertise and process intelligence. Wellframe uses mobile technology to communicate with patients and help them manage both acute and chronic illness. "The initial introduction of machine learning in healthcare was slow to catch on as healthcare organizations struggled to gain the expertise to understand the relevant data, create algorithms and consume the applications across their organizations. Embedding machine learning in applications is allowing the democratization of the technology," said Cynthia Burghard , research director, Value-Based Healthcare IT Transformation Strategies . The study, IDC Innovators: Machine Learning Coming of Age in Healthcare, 2017 (Doc #US42826817) profiles healthcare IT vendors with an innovative technology or a groundbreaking new business model or both. The IDC Innovators research document examines healthcare IT vendors who utilize machine learning for their solutions, with revenue of less than $100 million with a product, service, or business model with a specific use case.
