Smartwatches that track the health of patients and send out an alarm if they fall down, anti-loss alarm chip, and apps that convert mobile phones into a television remote were just some of the innovative technologies on display at BengaluruITE.Biz 2016, a flagship event of Karnataka government. Hundreds of startups and technology companies pitched their products and services to an audience of top business executives, government officials, and investors at the event held in Palace Grounds here. Industry stalwarts said they had come together on a single platform because information technology was changing significantly and they needed to equip themselves with future technologies to stay relevant. Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-founder of Infosys, India's second-largest software exporter, said these significant changes are creating new opportunities such as autonomous vehicles and telemedicine. "We require new tools and techniques to create and manage new knowledge," said Mr. Gopalakrishnan.
