'Allergy Insights with Watson' is The Weather Channel's latest AI-powered tool developed to tackle seasonal allergies. The new tool makes use of IBM's patented machine learning AI, Watson, to more accurately predict the incidence and persistence of allergy symptoms. To deliver these predictions, Allergy Insights with Watson draws from weather data, environmental data, and anonymized health data which creates a comprehensive breakdown of allergy contributors rather than relying solely on reductive pollen counts.
Allergy Insights with Watson provides a highly accurate 15-day allergy forecast with a detailed summary of specific local allergens. The Weather Channel's website, which hosts the allergy forecasting tool, also features a number of allergy management tips and allergy-related news articles. Outside the website, the Allergy Insights with Watson is available on The Weather Channel's iOS and Android apps.
