In 2021 we witnessed tech trends accelerate in response to the ‘living with Covid’ world. In the past two years, we have learned the lesson that the world needs to adapt quickly to our new reality. In 2021, all the industries are focused on operational agility more than ever before. In the same context let’s take a walk through to the technology corridors of different verticals.
If we talk about Education, the future of education looks as promising as ever before. The two years of the pandemic have paved the way towards newer possibilities and innovative dimensions in learning.
The education industry stood up with the help of technology and catered to the needs of the children. In the year 2021, many schools could not reach the very remote locations of India due to the lack of basic infrastructure facilities for electricity and internet availability.The year 2022 needs to get to the homes of the remotest location of India, not just on paper but physically too, so that education does not just remain as basic but more employable.
Similarly, when it comes to Startups, 2021 is seen as the year when India closed the tech loop. The policy and the technology startup ecosystem converged resulting in unprecedented value creation. 2021 also closed a successful decade-long technology democratization movement.
2022 will supercharge this trajectory. Some trends that will come to the fore are:
-
Metaverse everything
-
Cryptocurrency and blockchain
-
Vertical e-commerce (VEC)
-
Financialisation of the internet
-
Consolidation in tech-enabled sectors
Healthcare experts have identified many healthcare technology trends for 2022 that they anticipate will empower healthcare professionals to continue pushing towards delivering quality care for all. Looking to 2022, healthcare providers themselves will be among the first to strengthen and formalize training to research and promote telehealth best practices to their clinical teams.
In 2022, hospitals will be looking more closely than ever at the effectiveness of infection prevention and control (IP&C) programs powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to better monitor patients in real-time with quick infection risk identification and early clinical intervention.
-Building trust in an age of digital information overload
-Telemedicine becomes a fixture of the healthcare landscape
-Resilience is key to retaining the nursing workforce
-Unstructured health data helps researchers build health equity
-AI reduces healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)
– Quality improvement accelerates evidence to implementation
 -Virtual simulation and technology transforms nursing education
As we observed Technology has already nudged us towards building the intricate and yet fulfilling concept of Smart cities, thanks to the penetrating reach of IoT (internet of things) solutions in our day-to-day lives. In 2022, the common goal is to set up technologically driven cities by using voice activation methods and sensors. It goes without saying that futuristic smart cities would be extra efficient in more ways than one, as these cities mostly operate by collecting and analyzing data. Smart cities would surely be imagined with a transportation system devoid of any kind of pollution. Although, even as we are still realizing the aim to set up smart cities. There is always more to smart cities than just making life easier for the people. Another primary vision that comes with smart cities is using energy efficiently for a better future. As years go by, the conversation around solar energy has surely found momentum and that’s also one of the ideal ways to use the energy effectively. Not just that, with the introduction of IoT based technology we can enable energy conservation as well.
-Judicious Use of Resources
-Smart Transportation:
 -Energy Efficiency:
-Smart Surveillance
-Instant Feedback of Citizens
As we are becoming acquainted with IoT-based technology, the fervent aim to build smart cities has never been more clear. In 2022, we need to center our conversations around the features that smart cities can extend with the help of IoT-induced technology. As we go deeper into the subject, we would be able to grasp the significance of smart cities in economic growth along with better living standards for the citizens.
