IBM sold the remains of the Watson Health division off as a new company called Merative in late 2022.
There were a few people who were still keeping the Explorys systems running to that point (particularly the Explore application), but those systems were finally decommissioned also in late 2022. Although effectively dead from a business standpoint since 2018, Explorys finally breathed its last. Of the very few that remained, most were let go from Merative.
Phytel, another Watson Health acquisition, was also sunset in 2023 by Merative after being mortally wounded by Watson Health.
The Cleveland Clinic demolished the old Cleveland Playhouse complex in 2023, which is where Explorys was from 2012-2016, and 8501 Carnegie is now a parking lot. So much potential, so much history, now gone like it never happened. Explorys is dead, long live Explorys.
