Contact centers have experienced overwhelming strain since the onset of the pandemic and for many organizations this chaotic trajectory has continued. In the travel industry, for example, airlines are currently facing record-breaking call volumes and their service agents are struggling to deal with a surge of inquiries.

Pure Accelerate 2019 comes at a pivotal time in Pure Storage's evolution from a flash storage pioneer to a publicly traded company with more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Flash vendors are grappling with uneven prices for NAND flash -- a scenario some analysts predict will linger for at least the next several years. Pure Storage all-flash storage is not out of the headwinds, although it appears to be weathering the storm for now. After back-to-back quarters of stalled flash sales, Pure all-flash revenue jumped last quarter. The company signed up more than 450 new enterprises, bringing its total customer base to around 6,600 paying customers.

One of the largest growing demographics in the EU is individuals aged 65 and over, and two thirds of this group are in situation of multimorbidity, i.e., perons who suffer from two or more chronic diseases. The ineffective treatment of multimorbidity has been pointed out as an urgent problem to address by the Academy of Medical Sciences in a recently released report. As part of an EU H2020 funded project called ProACT, our team at IBM Research – Ireland is working with partners in academia and industry to find new ways to use IoT, AI and cloud technologies to advance self-management capabilities and home-based integrated care for Persons with Multimorbidity (PwM). The ProACT project is investigating ways wearable, home sensors and tablet applications can be used to help persons with multimorbidity, as well as their support actors, which include informal caregivers (e.g. The project includes proof-of-concept trials in Ireland and Belgium, involving national health services, with a number of patients equipped with wearable and home sensors, and their support actors.
