Of all the possible futures, online consultations and sharing of health data over cloud, incl. prescriptions would be a win-win for both patients and healthcare professionals. It’ll bring efficiency to the process, which can be further improved even more using AI. #DigitalOMC22
AI/ML is transforming every industry. In the context of healthcare, I expect automation of most jobs, remote consultations, sharing data through cloud, use of robots in surgeries, not in the absence of a “human” doctor, of course. But the possibilities are endless. #DigitalOMC22
Coupled with the IoT, digital healthcare will have enormous potential & is expected to reduce wait times & increase efficiency with automated systems. Costs are a problem now, but they should go down with automation. However, in practice, it’s highly unlikely. #DigitalOMC22
Using cutting-edge technologies to aid humanitarian efforts in catastrophic events, #Microsoft has led the way for corporations investing & contributing to such projects as part of their CSR initiatives. #DigitalOMC22
When the Indian ride-sharing business #OlaCabs acquired food delivery firm #FoodPanda they offered customers to order their meals during rides! Adds to the fun! #DigitalOMC22
Blurring boundaries between different markets helps companies acquire a larger customer base. People who usually shop at #Dunnes would order from #Lidl to have their food delivered if Dunnes doesn’t move to online deliveries. Just an example but you get the idea! #DigitalOMC22

Even before the pandemic, I was shopping groceries online. While others saw this as a shift, it was routine for me during the “stay at home” times. I don’t know the trailblazer but every chain, #Dunnes, #Supervalu, #Tesco and more have hopped on the trend.

The consumer kind of “consents” to have their data used whenever they sign up on a new application or use a device. The consent prompt is just a formality that most users do not even care to read. The agency still lies with the companies that run these device #DigitalOMC22
I get ads on Instagram and Facebook on home furnishings when I search “table lamps” on Google. What’s worse, they know I like pineapple on pizza! 🙈 #DigitalOMC22
While wearable tech has its own usefulness, I cannot see how its benefits to the users are comparable to the benefits that firms that collect data through these devices enjoy. There’s definitely an imbalance in the data ecosystem. Profits > Health, in this scenario #DigitalOMC22
There’s this new data ecosystem that we’ve become a part of, where one #Google search will trigger an algorithm on #Facebook or #instagram to show us targeted ads. And as #meta says, they’re an advertising company, making full use of all the data available to them. #DigitalOMC22
It is interesting how people can sell artworks through NFTs. Really establishes the fact how we’re no longer limited to “physical” ownerships of things. #NFTCommunity#DigitalOMC22
A NFT is simply a digital asset that lives on a blockchain and it's nothing but data. It represents any real-world object like music, a video or any piece of internet we own which we can sell or buy. Definitely a good way to make value of our data. #DigitalOMC22
Ownership of their own data would give consumers greater say in how they use or how they let others use it. Online activity or health statistics monitored using smart devices can be either used for personal benefit or sold to research groups or start-ups to study. #DigitalOMC22
In today’s world, where data is a resource that organisations can exploit for their own advantage, these organisations are at an equally huge risk of being cyber attacked. I do believe consumers should have autonomy over their data and who they share it with. #DigitalOMC22
Companies like #Uber & #airbnb have made it easier to connect customers to service providers but their opaque surveillance algorithms keep gig workers in the dark about how their services are rated, making work stressful #DigitalOMC22
The idea that you can own and sell someone’s legacy in the form of virtual tokens is bizarre. Someone sold a Pokémon card as NFT the other day. And people bought it?! While blockchain tech is considered secure, do you think NFTs are here to stay? #DigitalOMC22#NFTs
At the onset of #COVID19 governments all over the world developed applications and systems to track covid positive patients and people who might’ve come into contact with them. The system wasn’t as successful but it did help identify, isolate and probe hotspots. #DigitalOMC22
One of the most recent controversies in data driven market is the #Facebook data breach of 2021 where data of 533 million users was leaked/stolen online as per #BusinessInsider#DigitalOMC22
