New technology is changing business in many important ways. It is creating more opportunities for businesses to serve their core objectives and administer services more effectively. It is also having ripple effects on how businesses manage their resources and engage with the public. Here are a few examples of fields where innovation is generating the most substantive changes.
Healthcare Is Moving Forward
Digital transformation for healthcare services is making treatment and administrative services more manageable for providers. At the same time, it is enabling patients to become more actively engaged with treatment and conscientious about what they can do in their individual capacity to work towards better health.
Digitizing patient records is allowing for more streamlined communication between providers, and that gives them a way to collaborate with a greater level of meaningful collaboration in order to treat patients as a whole.
Diagnostics are also evolving dramatically, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging is soon likely to be outmoded by digital imaging that gives physicians and diagnosticians much clearer views of what is happening inside of a patient. Nano-X has already received approval for a revolutionary, portable x-ray machine that eliminates geographical barriers to care that affect an enormous percentage of the world’s population. They are poised to obtain approval for an even more groundbreaking device that performs a similar but superior diagnostic function to that of an MRI, and it does this using a portable, open-air device.
Telemedicine is another amazing example of the impact that technological advancement is having in healthcare. It is prompting a growing number of individuals to seek out care and stay engaged with primary care providers, specialists, and behavioral health therapists.
Disruptive Technology Is Shaking Up Wall Street
Of all of the industries that are seeing a prolific change from emerging tech, it is important to consider the massive waves that it has had for companies engaged in wealth management and investment counsel.
Investment funds geared entirely towards innovative technology such ARK’s ETFs have become incredibly successful by recognizing the prospective growth of disruptive companies that most mutual and pension funds have overlooked. Nevertheless, these stocks have seen a significant downturn over the past year. This trend has started breaking.
Part of the appeal of disruptive tech stocks is that they are immensely volatile. Shortsellers and day traders are drawn to the possibility of reaping gains of twenty percent or more. At the same time, disruptive tech stocks from companies pursuing remarkable innovations are appealing to long-term investors who are willing to wait to take profits and also take ups and downs in stride along the way.
Small pharmaceutical and biotech stocks have typically been seen as being among the most volatile sectors, largely due to the fact that the companies undertaking the most revolutionary research can go years and years before generating profits and positive earnings per share. However, so many of these companies’ clinical trials have produced extremely promising, life-saving results. Retail traders and investment firms alike see phenomenal growth over the next five years.
AI Is Determining Which Companies Will Win Over Consumers
Giant corporations algorithms and AI dominate internet traffic. When you look for content on a search engine or streaming provider, algorithms decide what you will be most likely to consider interesting. Now, AI is advancing one step further and it’s actually creating that content. In fact, many marketing experts predict that the vast majority of content produced within the next two years will be AI-generated.
Lastly, it is important for everyone to remember that in order for any of the exciting technological advancements happening now are going to enrich people’s lives, advancements driving sustainability have to come first. If the energy and climate crises continue worsening at their current rate, all businesses and innovations will sustain irreparable harm.
