Technologies that enable data storage and data-based decisions will attract investment focus from Asia/Pacific* healthcare providers. SINGAPORE, September 12, 2022 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud are the top technologies that healthcare providers in Asia/Pacific (including Japan) will be investing on in the next three years, according to the recently published IDC report titled IDC Public Sector Asia/Pacific (Including Japan) Survey, 2022 -- Healthcare Sector Analysis. The survey report focuses on healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics, and primary healthcare centers, and covers 99 respondents for healthcare providers out of a total of 421 respondents. Analysis reveals the trend of emerging technologies, hybrid working strategies, outsourcing priorities, and priority care areas as part of integrated care in Asia/Pacific. "The priorities of care providers in Asia/Pacific are undergoing a clear change, driven by their patient-centric care needs and increased focus on clinical data. While there will be an investment focus on cloud and AI by the care providers to have better efficiency and agility in handling data, there must also be a focus on structured data generation and'explainability' for AI-based solutions. This approach will ensure acceptability, adaptability, and scalability of solutions in predictive and personalized care management, moving forward," says Manoj Vallikkat, Senior Research Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Healthcare Insights.

Amazon has agreed to buy Cloostermans, a company that makes robots capable of stacking pallets in its warehouses. Amazon says it already uses Belgium-based Cloostermans' tech, which can also package products. After the acquisition closes, Cloostermans' 200 or so employees will join the Amazon Global Robotics division in Europe and likely dedicate their time to solely building tech that suits Amazon's needs. "By focusing Cloostermans's deep experience in engineering, machinery, and robotics, we will more rapidly deploy solutions in our workplace that support employees in their roles and improve safety at work, and also help reduce packaging waste," Amazon said in a press release.

Equally loved and loathed by consumers nationwide, the Panera Bread fast casual chain has announced that it plans to test out artificial intelligence (AI) at its drive-thru windows for some reason. Per a press release, Panera said that starting this week, it'll be testing an AI system made by the hospitality technology company OpenCity that's named "Tori" -- because the whole thing definitely isn't uncanny valley enough, apparently. Tori, the press release says, will be deployed at two Upstate New York locations and will take orders like a real, live person. An actual human will be the one to take customers' money and hand them their food at the window, but Tori will be the one calling the shots, it seems. "The addition of this technology at the drive-thru will help to cut down wait times, improve order accuracy and allow associates to focus on freshly preparing guests' orders," reads Panera's statement.
