Increasing burden of chronic diseases is driving the healthcare cognitive computing market, with the rising need to manage complex and large volume of data. Complex diagnosis and treatment options of these diseases have enabled the market players to develop various cognitive computing solutions to enable faster and effective decisions by healthcare providers. Companies such as IBM Corporation are increasingly collaborating with public organizations to address the concern of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer, since these diseases have witnessed a significant increase, over a period.

According to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), people aged 65 years and above constituted approximately 11.4% of the population in 2013, and the count is estimated to increase by approximately 20% by 2050. Since the elderly generally need help in meeting their medication needs, including keeping track of their visits to the doctor, medication timings, exercise reminders, and dietary recommendations, there is ample scope for the healthcare cognitive computing market to flourish in the region.

Companies in the healthcare cognitive computing market are also increasingly getting involved in research and development to provide better healthcare solutions. For instance, in August 2016, IBM Watson aided in the detection of a rare form of leukemia in a patient in Japan. The cloud-based, AI-powered supercomputer of IBM is capable of cross-referencing and analyzing data from millions of oncology papers from research institutes all over the world.

Some of the other key players operating in the healthcare cognitive computing market include Enterra Solutions, LLC, Intel Corporation, Alphabet Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Nuance Communications, Inc., CognitiveScale, Healthcare X.0 GmbH, and MedWhat.com Inc.
