Timeline

Themes

Healthcare

COVID has accelerated the adoption of digital healthcare Services. Access to digital information and communication technologies are resulting in increased demand for services in remote health care management. The range of services would include remote health monitoring and diagnostics, virtual doctor appointments, access to medical specialists, personal health apps and patient education. Use of technologies like wearable devices, fitness trackers, mobile apps and real-time audio/video communication will play a pivotal role. These digital solutions have the potential to lower costs, ease pressure on a stretched medical system and make health care accessible to remote areas. A post COVID world will also see the health care professionals embrace remote technology solutions to provide online therapy services and see a surge in the demand for remote digital solutions in the space of eldercare.

You are expected to come up with innovative solutions built using IBM Cloud for process and digital transformation for the healthcare industry.

Education

Education in the post COVID world would see the technology enabled redesigning of the experience for educators and students. Schools and universities will see adoption of blended learning methodologies with an increased focus on online learning content and remote learning methodologies. Technology enabled solutions will revamp Learning Management Systems and simplify tasks like attendance tracking, designing question papers and grading/assessments. There is a need for creative ways to bridge the digital divide and make education accessible for students in rural areas too.

Propose innovative strategies such as smart ed-tech solutions powered by AI to create personalised learning experiences with focus on student engagement through immersive experiences using Virtual Reality and Gamification using IBM Cloud.

Future of Work

The Future of Work is Hybrid and will present opportunities to bring in new ideas and technology innovations in the workplace. There will be an emergence of productivity tools to automate administrative tasks, improve collaboration, teleconferencing and optimise workflows. We’ll see automation of software engineering and business processes powered by an infusion of AI. Submit creative solutions that use smart technology powered by sensors, data analytics and digitalization.

Leverage the power of IBM Cloud to accelerate your ideas that will help us reimagine the workplaces to drive cost savings through energy management, space optimisation and a touchless office. 

Customer Experience

Businesses will focus on leveraging technology and innovation to elevate customer experience in the “Next Normal.” Digital adoption will accelerate across consumer businesses - from banking, travel to retail.There will be an enhanced in store experience with deployment of frictionless “scan and go” solutions augmented by AI store assistants to answer customer questions. Hyper-personalisation of marketing campaigns based on data analytics and new age communication channels, AI powered Conversational Chatbots and adoption of AR/VR will create deeper engagement with customers.

We are looking for innovative solutions that can help deliver an elevated omnichannel customer experience. Innovation is only a "thought" away. Here is a huge runway to take-off your ideas with IBM Cloud.
