An early warning system for automobiles
Quality information about cars currently relies on ‘lagging’ indicators, such as warranty costs, calls to customer service numbers and dealer service records. The trouble is that this information is only available after something has happened. IBM is working on a solution that will combine data from multiple sources and provide manufacturers with an Early Warning System to identify potential problems before they become major liabilities.
Cancelable Biometrics
The use of biometrics, which uses physiological or behavioral characteristics to verify identities for security and privacy purposes, is growing. But determined identity thieves have already learned how to copy credentials from large databases. IBM Researchers are developing methods to help companies stay one step ahead, with a novel technique that distorts biometric data.
Hippocratic database technology
The rapid expansion of the Internet has accelerated the move toward the digitization of a vast trove of personal information and a growing body of regulations aimed at protecting that information from unauthorized access. To help healthcare providers, businesses and government agencies comply with these regulations, IBM's Hippocratic database technology offers an approach that supports automatic enforcement of privacy policies.
IBM mobile health toolkit – mobile health monitoring
The IBM mobile health toolkit was developed by IBM Research labs to track vital health signs, helping to limit a patient’s health risk, reduce the number of clinical visits and enhance the effectiveness of pharmaceutical field tests.

Social network analytics and business optimization (SNO)
In a corporate environment where informal social networks often dictate how work is accomplished, IBM's social network optimization tool can assist businesses in optimizing knowledge sharing among employees.
Transactional multi-site Grids
Grid computing is already successfully being used for scientific applications that require large amounts of processing power as well as computationally intensive financial applications, such as portfolio optimization and risk analysis. Applying that processing power to everyday transactions and core business processes is the next step. Learn how IBM Research is working on many of the key technologies needed to make transactional, multi-site Grids a reality.
Web-enabled Integrated Aftermarket Services
Aftermarket parts management involves a number of critical processes that often span multiple organizations and geographies in order to deliver a part to a customer on time. Seeing an opportunity to bring significant value to the challenge of aftermarket parts management, several IBM divisions are collaborating to develop an integrated aftermarket parts solution.
