…should only be conducted if deemed necessary. AI can gain info, process it, and provide the output to the patients and care team members via machine learning algorithms. The right combination of AI and predictive analytics technologies can also assist in optimizing hospitals’ operating efficiencies, increasing asset utilization, and maintaining required equipment disinfection. Internet of Things (IoT) IoT-enabled thermometers could potentially be used to take patients’ temperatures from a distance. Similarly, patients can take their own temperatures and upload their data via mobile devices for virtual monitoring by their care team. This enables healthcare providers to efficiently collect more data…

…part of the overall solution to benefit from these gains – businesses need to also consider how automation can augment the workers’ experience whilst also transforming productivity. Improving productivity does not just mean directly within production, but also how this naturally filters through and impacts other connected areas of the business. By undertaking a process review, a company can better understand where automation can be effectively deployed to gain both productivity improvements and to release staff to take on other tasks. Companies can automate mundane, repetitive and highly manual tasks – such as driving around a warehouse, picking items and…
