Nowadays, every industry is challenged to adapt to this new world quickly. Technology is leading the charge, starting from the online ordering systems to a video meeting. But only technology is not enough! Indeed to pivot more digital business, companies must opt for an agile backbone of a business, systems, and people that can quickly move to adopt new technology and take on what’s yet to come. Let’s dive into trending technologies transforming our lives during pandemic Covid-19.
AI/ML-based Communication
To make intelligent and informed decisions and to ensure that inadequate resources are distributed as efficiently as possible, data can be used by AI and machine learning. It assists in saving lives by reducing the stress on frontline warriors. Moreover, it will also help determine which patients are more likely to get infected from COVID-19. This would provide more substantial risk evaluations for patients to help health practitioners evaluate when and who want critical care. Machine learning techniques can help assess each patient’s most suitable treatment plan based on observational data about past patients, including their characteristics and prescribed treatments.
Virtual Meetings
This is feasible that crowds and face-to-face meetings have been redefined, especially during work from home and travel limitation scenarios. Digital conferences would be experienced again by industry. Video conference room solutions such as Google Meet, Zoom,Teksun Meet have already seen an unexpected spurt among the users. Everything is done online, from meetings of only 4-5 attendees to huge international conventions and workshops.
Digital and Contactless Payments
Many countries have initiated several steps to ensure that banknotes are clean before distribution as the cash may carry the virus. Presently, contactless digital payments, either in cards or e-wallets, are the preferred mode of payment to halt COVID-19 from spreading.
Digital payments enable customers to make goods, services, and utility payments electronically and collect incentive funds faster.

Telehealth
Healthcare managed to be a high-touch area with many special contacts, but now it seems like it’s about to become a necessity.
COVID-19 is compelling organizations to discover how they can interact with their customers without meeting them immediately and offering these advanced technologies at impressive rates.
Telehealth can be a powerful way to defeat COVID-19 spread while still giving basic primary care. Personal Wearable IoT devices can control vital symptoms. Chatbots may provide a preliminary diagnosis based on the patient-recognized signs.
Online Education
A large part of academia has gone to the internet. Online programs are driven by video conferencing through colleges, schools, and training institutes. As students study theories on their smartphones, Dedicated education programs have seen a massive spurt in development.
Drones and Robotics
Due to pandemic COVID-19, we learned how much we depend on human expertise to make things work. The pandemic’s main sections that got drastically affected are labor-intensive businesses like retail, food, manufacturing, and logistics.
COVID-19 experienced a solid drive to use robot usage and robotics work. The robots have been practiced in new weeks to clean areas and deliver food to those affected areas.
Satellite-based asset tracking solutions
There will be an increase in remote asset tracking solutions at many global locations where mobile network coverage is inconsistent.
In these areas, portable things like trains, buses, fishing boats, etc., travel continuously. The satellite connection will broadcast and get data from a central control location in the shortage of mobile network connectivity.
Supply Chain 4.0
The pandemic COVID-19 has made warnings to the global supply chain. Some plants are shut down with quarantine and distancing orders.
However, food and personal protective equipment requirements are soaring; some countries have placed various export bans on those products. This loss of data clarity and variety, and versatility have made modern supply chain processes exposed to any pandemic.
These are vital technologies such as Cloud computing, Big Data, Internet-of-Things, and blockchain, creating a more sound supply chain management network for the future by enhancing data quality and encouraging data sharing.
In Closing
The entire world has been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, a virus that has hit many people. During this condition, we all have learned the importance of digital technologies. We should attempt to promote digital technology and develop solutions to tackle similar future pandemics. That needs the companies’ adoption of digital systems and innovation and support from large enterprises and governments.
As the growing usage of technologies has resulted in the increasing demand for these trending technologies, we at Teksun Inc strive to deliver you with design and development of IoT-based solutions for various healthcare industries, Automotive, Agritech, Industry 4.0, Drones & Autonomy and many more.
