The World After Covid-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that it had logged 1,316 positive flu cases in its surveillance network between September 2020 and the end of January 2021. During that same period last year, the CDC had recorded nearly 130,000 cases. What will the healthcare sector look like after COVID-19? The health and immunity care system for people worldwide will only look significantly different this time if, as we emerge from this crisis, we decide to take action to resolve these problems and bring about fundamental change. As Hospital care undergoes a significant transformation with clear guidelines for medical practitioners about hospital admissions during emergencies, we expect you to propose innovative process and digital transformation solutions for the healthcare industry post the covid-19 world.

On-Demand Check-ups: How can we move routine health check-ups to an online service? How can the patient own the data?

New technology has been introduced in England to help clinicians identify, for the first time, a new group of people who may be at high risk from COVID-19. Over 800,000 adults will now be prioritized to receive a vaccine as part of the current vaccination cohorts. The impact of COVID-19 on people's livelihoods, their health, and our food systems have been very significant and risky. Now is the time for global solidarity and support, especially with the most vulnerable in our societies, particularly in the emerging and developing world. Utilizing the power of technology, how can we identify the most vulnerable people with the evolution of the virus? How can your next big idea support the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of our society?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution was supposed to unfold gradually and slowly, yet the pandemic catalyzed it. Businesses simply exploring the value of digitalization realized that it would be impossible to move further, ignoring the benefits of AI, XR, and IoT, among other technologies. Some trends that appeared during Covid will disappear, but we believe many of them are here to stay. So which tech trends will become our new reality, and how can we enhance the same using cutting-edge technologies? From a business strategy perspective, you need to explore and keep at the forefront of what is happening in the world, search for unique opportunities and listen to the seller’s needs until you discover a meaningful solution.

The world is changing and what we witnessed in the last months all over the world is the creation of a stronger sense of community: people supporting each other and companies getting together to fight the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The old world is over, as its rules. The new world is going to be different, with new rules. We are looking for some creative yet super effective ideas to help the local communities from all horizons. Example: signal detection to identify warning signs, probing and prevention to actively search and reduce risk factors, damage containment to limit its spread, recovery to normal operations, learning to glean actionable insights to apply to the following incident.

According to the most extensive published study of its impact on pupils in England, children studying for exams coming from disadvantaged families are the most likely to have suffered severe disruption to their learning and motivation during the pandemic. Unfortunately, private candidates have been the real victims of this whole process. Private candidates consist of home-schooled or private tutors thought students and students studying by distance learning. The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the remarkable rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Research suggests that online learning increases information retention and takes less time, meaning the changes coronavirus has caused might be here to stay. We are looking for innovative solutions to improve the remote education experience. Design solutions that would improve and lift the educational sector and encourage people to learn new skills.
