Have you ever found yourself sitting for hours in a busy waiting room at the ER? It's stressful, you're in physical pain and everyone is rushing around you, focused on the massive number of other patients waiting, too. Luckily, hospitals are beginning to use machine learning solutions to streamline the waiting room process. The healthcare industry is introducing AI to combat many issues in the field. AI in hospitals can not only ease hospital patient flow, but it can also help develop pharmaceutical drugs, keep and analyze data and patient records, and even help diagnose illnesses like cancer. When people spend less time in the ER waiting room, more people can be treated in a timely manner.

Digital Transformation moved at a relatively slow pace for the past ten years, mainly focusing on improving products, employee experience and processes. But then, after COVID – 19 hit, IT decision-makers were forced to prioritize their IT initiatives in order to increase digital investments. According to IDC, over the next four years, worldwide Digital Transformation technology investment is set to reach at least $7.4 trillion and will be the first time that DX will account for the majority of IT spending – predicted to be a huge 53% of budgets. Digital transformation is a set of methodologies and tools which are used by modern companies to optimize their operational activities, such as increasing their reach power, providing differentiated service and increasing performance. However, digital transformation is not just a new department in the firm, but it is definitely a game-changer in technology's role in the corporate environment. That's why it is increasingly being seen as the 4th Industrial Revolution. "Think of digital transformation less as a technology project to be finished than as a state of perpetual agility, always ready to evolve for whatever customers want next, and you'll be pointed down the right path."-

AI, or artificial intelligence, seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue these days. While I've been aware of this major trend in tech development for a while, I've noticed AI appearing more and more as one of the most in-demand areas of expertise for job seekers. I'm sure that for many of us, the term "AI" conjures up sci-fi fantasies or fear about robots taking over the world. The depictions of AI in the media have run the gamut, and while no one can predict exactly how it will evolve in the future, the current trends and developments paint a much different picture of how AI will become part of our lives. In reality, AI is already at work all around us, impacting everything from our search results, to our online dating prospects, to the way we shop.

Have you ever wondered why supermarkets don't offer augmented reality guides to the locations of their products? Instead of criss-crossing the store, hunting for the tomato juice or the paprika, why can't you upload your shopping list into something like Google Maps and have it guide you on the most efficient route around the aisles? It's not because supermarket owners are afraid you won't make impulse purchases. It's because that sort of navigation (or wayfinder) technology is hard.
