Being a former IBM'er, I can tell you this, there is nothing altruistic in their motives. They invest billions into research with plans to reap the rewards. Health informatics, in Canada is brutal to say the least. See eHealth disaster. IBM employs some really intelligent people who intent to capitalize on this situation.
- drcode 13y agoTo clarify my remarks, I don't really have a problem with a profit motive... my argument is more that you could make money from (1) coming up with better treatments and selling them or (2) extracting poorly allocated resources from the government. We need fewer health care projects that are the latter.
