In the ad, Dr. Sikon speaks to Watson to prepare for an upcoming patient encounter by reviewing the patient’s medical record. Watson accesses the medical record, and says it compared lab results with notes on prior treatments, as well as cross-referenced the information with medical journals.

Dr. Sikon, board-certified in internal medicine, is the chair of the department of internal medicine and geriatrics at Cleveland Clinic.
