NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- IBM ( IBM ) achieved a feat two years ago when the tech giant's Watson supercomputer beat two human champions in the Jeopardy TV quiz. Now keen to bring high-end computing to the corporate masses, IBM unveiled the first commercial Watson-based technologies on Friday. The company picked the lucrative health-care sector as the launch pad for this effort, teaming up with health-insurance firm WellPoint ( WLP ) and New York's prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Care Center. "We chose health care as a starting point," said Manoj Saxena, general manager of IBM's Watson Solutions, during the New York launch event. "We believe it's ready for transformation in the context of big data and analytics -- we believe that Watson will change the way that medicine is taught, practiced and paid for."
