Monitoring patients wherever they are and supervising their health status relentlessly is a pressing task. Inspired by this need, a group of companies recently presented a smart t-shirt with 5G connection and sensors embedded in the fabric that can capture and send real-time information about the user’s health conditions to care centers. Made of washable material without metal components, the T-shirt has biosensors capable of measuring vital signs, such as body temperature, heartbeat, respiratory rate, muscle effort, and sweat elements. The parameters are recorded in a miniaturized control unit and are converted to digital format, which can be transmitted to the user’s smartphone or smartwatch or to a remote center that will analyze the data using medical software.
Annual healthcare spending has risen to nearly US$8 trillion globally by 2020, and is projected to continue growing at 5% or more per year until 2023. In Europe, it already passes 10% of GDP and in the US 17%, according to a study by Dealroom, in partnership with Inkef Capital and MTIP. The higher incidence of chronic diseases, the increase in the average age of the population, the problems related to obesity and smoking and the increasing costs with the development of new drugs have weighed more on the pockets of consumers and governments, driving the upward trend.
Managing data centers is often seen as a task akin to balancing spinning plates – it requires finding the best balance between managing workloads and IT staff, raising efficiency, and cutting costs. More recently, this work has gained the help of a major partner – Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI promises to be a great ally in the automatic management of tasks performed in data centers, thus freeing IT professionals to perform tasks that actually require human intervention. In addition, the tools used so far tend only to provide answers to the problems that arise in these environments, but do not explore data to make predictions, reduce the incidence of problems and optimize resources, as can do the AI solutions, highlights Sean Kenney, director of KPMG.
SolarWinds MSP recently got a new name, N-able. According to the company, the move is part of the SolarWinds parent company spin-off process, initially announced in 2020 to create an independent organization focused on helping managed service providers (MSPs) serve small and mid-sized businesses. In a note released by the Channele2e website, John Pagliuca, president of SolarWinds MSP, told partners that the purpose of the spin-off is to ensure even greater investments in Research & Development, security, and customer success.
