Tech- Ruling the Medical World

 Tech- Ruling the Medical World        

As it is rightly said, “Every coin has two sides” in the same manner. The pandemic showed us how powerful technology can be by ruling the medical world in the times of crisis. It not only propelled several promising medical technologies but many of them were also tested on a massive scale. Not only that but also it helped transform the unsustainable healthcare system into a sustainable one by improving communication channels between the medical professionals and the patients. Also, providing them with cheaper, faster and effective solutions.

 

“With the rapid advancement in healthcare, we now live in a world where the gadgets which were once only a dream are now a reality!”

Let’s have a look at how technology revolutionized the healthcare system:

 

1. Revolutionary Medical Devices

When it comes to gadgets, every healthcare professional has a dream to have that one powerful instrument that can diagnose and analyze any medical condition. There is a palm-sized device available in the market, which can assess ECG, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, blood pressure, and more. Other firms are working on comparable devices to track multiple vital factors, and have a camera for telemedicine. Although the currently available instruments are quite far from the anticipated medical instrument, which is a scanning device used by consumers to self-diagnose medical conditions  within seconds  and take basic vital measurements. Although, we do not have them available in the market yet but we will get there soon. We will also witness high-power microscopes with smart cell phones to analyze the swab samples and many more.

 

2. Revolutionizing drug development

Developing the new drug has never been easier, it is a lengthy and costly process including various phases of trials. However, methods ranging from silico trials to artificial intelligence can be used to improve medication development. Many companies are using artificial intelligence to develop new drug candidates and novel therapeutic solutions in record time, reducing costs and saving lives. Imagine being able to test thousands of new potential medications in minutes on billions of virtual patient models. This may be the situation in the not-too-distant future.

 

3. Nanotechnology

We aren’t far from the day when nanoparticles and nanodevices will be used as precise drug delivery systems, cancer treatment tools or tiny surgeons. We can say that we are at the beginning of the nanomedicine era, as many researchers have developed scallop-like microbots that could swim through your physiological fluids in the recent past. Smart small tablets are already being used for non-invasive, patient-friendly colon inspections. Not only that but also, researchers developed a remotely controlled electronic pill that can communicate diagnostic information or release medications in response to smartphone orders. We will see more practical examples of nanotechnology in medicine as technology advances.

 

 4. 3D-Printing  

Undoubtedly, 3D- Printing has the potential to bring wonders to the medical world in every way. We can now print bio tissues, artificial limbs, medications, blood vessels, and the list goes on, and it is likely that we will continue to do so in the future. A group of researchers have devised a method to 3D-print living skin and blood arteries recently. Furthermore, This technique also benefits the pharmaceutical business, since 3D-printed medications were approved. 

 

5. Virtual Reality

VR is not only transforming the lives of patients but the doctors too! You may be able to see surgeries as if you were the surgeon in the future, or you may be able to go to Iceland or back home while lying in a hospital bed. Virtual Reality is being used widely to teach future surgeons as well as to practice surgeries by current surgeons. Many companies have created and delivered such software programmes, which are currently in use with promising results. Talking about patients, many women have been made to wear the virtual reality headsets while in labor and it has shown to be beneficial in pain management.  

 

6. Augmented Reality

The distinct feature about Augmented reality is that users do not lose touch with reality and it puts information into eyesight efficiently. Also it proves to be beneficial for the medical practitioners as it may assist medical students better prepare for real life surgeries while also allowing surgeons to improve their skills. Medical students can learn the subject without using real bodies by using this technology, which gives them access to comprehensive and precise, but virtual, models of the human anatomy. 

 

7. Robotic Surgery

Robotic have had the influence on medical care since long, but the technology underlying it has developed tremendously. Robotic surgery is likely the most noticeable because it is less intrusive, more accurate, less prone to infection, and heals faster than traditional surgery. Image-guided robots can now see inside brain lesions without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue. They can mold a bone to suit a prosthesis with greater precision than a person could. Also the arrival of ultrafast 5G has increased the number of robotic surgeries significantly. 


We at CloudPloys make sure to provide our clients with the latest technological advancement with a vision to bring a revolution. We believe the medical revolution is a universal advancement of the human race and any innovation will be a “greater good” than one’s imagination and CloudPloys will be thrilled to be a contributor of this positive externality.

“Cloud Computing” – The New Covishield For Businesses

COVID-19 not only sabotaged people’s health but also their businesses, which came to a sudden halt. Gladly, covishield was discovered and came to the rescue of the struggling economy. “Vaccines” saved people’s lives and “Cloud Computing” their livelihood, by stagnating businesses. Reports suggested that the collaborative platforms of the company had about 20 million regular users before the pandemic, which has now reached over 44 million.

Considering all the key factors to see how cloud computing is a lifeline to businesses amid the pandemic we have outlined the following:

  • It eliminates the need of maintaining an IT setup at home

  • The cost only consists of the services & infrastructure used

  • It helps responding to the market demands on time

Not only this, but businesses also heavily rely on cloud computing for many operational strategies.

  • Helping businesses to handle changes in customer behavior

Social distancing and lockdowns were the only two measures the government used to save human lives. As a result, people started spending more time in their home, reading articles, news, making friends through social media, conducting online meetings, streaming web series and shows on OTT platforms, entertainment apps, which resulted in increasing online activities and the number of downloads.

To adapt to this changing behavior patterns of users and help businesses operate seamlessly and successfully, cloud adoption became a necessity.

  • Integrating business ecosystems 

The COVID-19 has made the world realize the necessity of embracing cloud integration and formulating strategies. For SMEs it will be playing an immensely important role in accessing the capacities of large data in the highly competitive market.

Also, it helps businesses efficiently store and manage enterprise data along with the security. Not only that, but also speeds up the processing of data and makes the creation and distribution of the new apps available to the user.

  • Helping businesses deal with the unpredictability

It helps the businesses to be prepared for unpredictable scenarios. Getting the work done remotely in different shifts like overnight, handling clients in different time zones. Not only it helped their core industry but also the educational institutions took a revolutionary change. Virtual schools made that possible. Having said that, it enabled the financial wheel to keep rolling.

Thus, “Cloud Technology” along with the Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things can help businesses in meeting all the ends. Although we know this pandemic dust will eventually settle down, the taste of digital empowerment and cloud tech will always be a dominant aspect of corporate infrastructure. We at @CloudPloys make sure that the digital revolution is upon us.

WFH

Permanent Work From Home – New HR Contract Model

The most trending HR employee contract model now includes “Work from ANYWHERE” apart from the usual “Permanent |  Full-Time | Causal | Part-Time | etc.” This model essentially allows employees to choose whether they want to be full time at the Office | Home | Office and Home.

Spotify is the latest tech company which has recently adapted this model. The company will adhere to implementing extreme flexibility even around locations, giving employees the freedom to even choose the country and city where they would like to work from. The company has decided to provide co-working space memberships for its employees who choose to work remotely and at the same time desire for a dedicated workspace. Hence, giving them the best of both worlds!!!

We are seeing more and more big-scale companies adopting the remote work model as a more permanent and concrete option due to adversities caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This framework will give more assurance to companies in leading a more persistent growth. 

With this dynamic shift in workplace concept, companies are at the forefront of reassessing their office spaces across the globe for increased perseverance, flexibility and prosperity to ensure that all of their operations, regardless of the situation, goes on unobstructedly, comfortably and efficiently. The main objective of this new employee roadmapping approach is to ensure that employees in the uncertain long-run have a permanent & backup place where they can perform with focus, collaborate without obstruction, innovate and recreate and the possibility of this should prevail whether at an office/home desk, in a conference room, a cafe or a co-working space.

Spotify is not the only tech company, there are other significant companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Twitter, Square, etc. who have considered and implemented this dynamic employee contractual setting. Salesforce recently announced to let its employees choose whether they would consider coming into the office again? While Simultaneously emphasizing that the 9-to-5 workday routine is dead. Square and Twitter are letting employees work from home #wfh FOR GOOD! And lastly Microsoft also offered its workers high flexibility to work from home.

 

 

As evidently seen that we have a rising number of companies who are proactively considering remote work as a more permanent option due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I think it is time that all companies should prepare for the same and evolve with the changing time. The world is not the same anymore. In this world only the digitally adept will survive. @CloudPloys we help companies in upscaling and proofing their business against such adversities, so please reach out for a consultation and a relaxed discussion!

ZipPay VS Afterpay – How are the two different or similar?

When we talk about buying shares the two most trending shares these days are those of Zip and After pay. But the business models of both are similar that it is hard to identify a clear distinction between the two. The buyers often cannot make a clear comparison between the two.

So here we have listed out a few key features for both:

 ZipPayAfterpay
What does the company offer? Offers buyers an instant credit of $1000 for buying products. It can be redeemed in online or other purchases. The user has the flexibility to decide their instalment repayment plan. Most flexible! Offers buyers to buy now and pay later with four split payments in equal portions deducted fortnightly from the registered credit/debit card. Most convenient! 
Buying Limit Offers an instant shopping credit of $1000 without any need for an initial deposit at the time of purchase. For any order greater than the $1000 value the buyer needs to pay the difference upfront. Offers a total transaction of up to $1000 with the first quarter payment payable by the buyer at the time of purchase. 
Fees & Charges No fee incurred if instalment is paid on time. 0% interest & $0 set up. No fee incurred if instalment is paid on time. 0% interest & $0 set up.
Late or Missed Instalment ChargesCharges $5/month after the first month for any outstanding amount irrespective of how big or small the amount is. 
This means if you pay off before the end of the first month you will never be charged a fee!
Charges $10 for a late payment. However, they do send follow-up reminder emails ahead of time. 
This means if you pay on time you will never be charged a fee!
Summarised Distinction Flexible process, no deposit required Simpler process and get to pay off faster. 
User Eligibility Only available for Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents over 18 years old. Only available for Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents over 18 years old. 
Bank Card Requirements A user must have a valid debit card and be employed with a minimum salary of $300/wk A user must have a valid credit/debit card and sufficient funds to cover the first quarter instalment.

These are the few clear distinctions which might support you in decision making amongst two crucial companies. @CloudPloys enjoy exploring such exciting & enriching topics. So if you are someone like minded and enjoyed reading this blog then stay attuned for more topics yet to be explored! 

lockdown

Is your business COVID proof? Can it survive recurring lockdowns?

Take your business ONLINE before the lockdowns take them OFFLINE!!! @CloudPloys

Melbournians were truly taken aback with the fourth lockdown with coffee & food culture being the charm of the place this recent lockdown announced on 11th February, 2021 affected the cafes & restaurants quite impactfully especially with Valentines weekend being round the corner…who knew that on Valentine’s day I would be writing a blog instead of going out for a sunny date out?

The adversity of these state restrictions sinks quite deeply into the education industry, hospitality and recreation sectors but this is something not even the Victorian Government can knowingly help but you surely can…by doing your business a favour and transitioning ONLINE as much as possible. It is understandable that there are few aspects of the business which cannot be virtual but it is better to have a cloud shield for those operations where possible.

Regardless of the fact that we are heading to something called a “New Normal” era but the uncertainty around the world with respect to such viruses can never give a surety of a definite normal. There are still some businesses for whom digital transition will be a challenge as they would not be able to speculate that which operations can actually be done online and this is where @CloudPloys come in. We listen, analyse and present you with strategic and COVID proof business solutions. We do the thinking for you, you just have to reach out!

Take example of this lockdown we know it is going to last for 5 days but are we confident that it won’t get extended ?? In a situation where the government is not certain what is coming ahead how can we as individuals have our own speculations?

Therefore, it is utterly vital that we proof our business and be ready for anything that comes at us. As a responsible business it is your liability to take the first step and as an expert it is our responsibility to give you a viable solution.

cyber security

Cybersecurity Dilemma – Securing Internet of Things (IoT) Networks

The two trending buzzwords in the IT industry that have evolved imminently are “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) and “Machine Learning” (ML). More so these two words often seem to be used reciprocally.

However, they are not actually reciprocal, but the perception that they are could lead to false information. Therefore, read this article to make an informed distinction between the two.

AI & ML both appear frequently when the topic under consideration is Big Data, Analytics, and other such tech areas which are popular throughout our world.

To loop it together, Artificial Intelligence incorporates and functions tasks using Machines in a way that we would consider “smart”.

Whereas, Machine Learning is an active application of AI propagated by the idea that we should really just be able to feed machines with data and let them learn for themselves.

But how did this idea evolve in the first place?

AI has been an aged concept even the ancient Greek mythology contained stories of mechanical men designed to mimic our own behavior. Soon after this myth, early European computers were perceived as “logical machines” and by performing capabilities like arithmetic & memory, provoked engineers to create even more smart mechanical brains.

With emergence of tech along with our adeptness in understanding how a human mind works, our concept of what constitutes AI has evolved too. Instead of focusing on increasingly complex calculations, work in the field of AI concentrated on replicating human decision making processes and carrying out tasks in ever more human ways.

Artificial Intelligences = Machines designed to act intelligently 

Are often classified into either of two fundamental groups:

  1. Applied AI – This is far more common, for example systems designed to wisely trade stocks & shares, or action an autonomous vehicle would fall into this category.
  2. General AI – This is less common than the former, these are systems or devices which can in theory handle any task. This has led to the development of Machine Learning, considered as a subset of AI, it can be thought of as the current state-of-the-art and this is where some of the most exciting advancements are happening today. 

Emergence of Machine Learning

This was provoked by two fundamental breakthroughs:

  1. Realization – This concept means that rather than teaching computers everything about the world and how to intelligently carry out tasks, it might be possible to teach them to learn for themselves.
  2. Emergence of the internet – The huge increase in the amount of digital information being generated, stored, and made available for analysis.

With these innovations in place, engineers realized that rather than teaching computers & machines how to do everything, it would be far more efficient to code them to think like human beings, and connect them into the internet to feed all of the information in the world. 

About Neural Networks

This has been the key to teaching computers to think and comprehend the world in a human like manner, while retaining the typical advantages it holds over humans like speed, accuracy and unbiasedness.

A “Neural Network” is a computer system designed to work by classifying information in the same way a human brain does. It can be taught to recognize various aspects like graphics or images and furthermore, classify them according to elements they contain.

It works based on data fed to it upon which it is able to make statements, decisions or predictions with a degree of certainty i.e. Probability. The insertion of a feedback loop enables “learning”, upon sensing whether its determination is correct or not, it modifies its future approach. 

ML Apps can smartly “read” text to analyse if the writer of the text is making a complaint or applauding. It can also “listen” to music and determine if it’s happy or sad music, and find music of the same genre. Furthermore, they are trained to even compose their own music with similar themes, or which they sense is likely to be commended by the listeners of the original piece.

About Natural Language Processing

Another field of AI “Natural Language Processing” (NLP) is another thrilling innovation in this era, and one which is heavily reckoning on ML. Elaborating the idea to different heights, i.e. we should be able to communicate and interact with electronic devices and digital information, as naturally as we would with another human being. 

NLP Apps attempt to study natural human interactions, both in written or spoken format, and communicate in return using similar, natural language. ML is used here to help machines cope with vast distinctions in human language, and train it to respond in a way that a particular audience would likely receive from another human.

7 Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Responsive Website

These days people are more inclined to access the Internet on their smartphones than from their desktops or even laptops. The increasing comfort of browsing the internet on smartphones along with rapidly declining prices of such devices is further driving the change in how we use and experience the Internet. 

  1. Gets you in Google’s good books – Google is the biggest search engine and continues to top the rankings with remarkable consistency and without any conceivable threat to its numero uno position even in the near future. Hence, it is the obvious choice for businesses to attract organic traffic to their websites making it vital to give attention to Google and how it works. Google suggests that a responsive website is a great way to attract smartphone users as it supports mobile-optimized websites. This involves the searches for general products & services but the preference for mobile-optimized services is at its highest when searches are made for LOCAL services. Google sees searches in the excess of 100 billion each day and ranks “mobile-responsive” higher in the results when searches are made from mobile phones.
  1. Reduces bounce rate – You may have a great business model and a greater website along with a favorable ranking in search results. Despite this you are still not immune to bounce rate, if your website isn’t mobile-friendly. If your users don’t find accessing your website from their smartphones seamless or convenient, you are likely to see a very high number of bounce rates. It will further drag down the rankings of your website, irrespective if your website functions seamlessly when accessed through desktops. A high bounce rate isn’t likely to get you any favors from Google and as a result this will lead to a drastic decline in your rankings.
  1. Versatility with all devices – A major benefit of having a responsive design for a website is that since the template size is created along the lines of various screen sizes, it assures that the website adjusts to the size of the device, irrespective of the width, height or screen size of the device. With technology evolving so rapidly now watches, glasses, and even TVs, are used for web browsing. Thus, emphasizing the importance of responsive websites even more prominently. 
  1. Easy management – The inclination for most online businesses towards responsive websites is driven by the multitudes of benefits of responsive websites and easier manageability is one of them. For online businesses, managing separate desktop and mobile sites is a lot of hassle. This requires separate Google Adwords & SEO campaigns to be managed for each website type which is less efficient and productive than managing a single wholesome website.
  1. Enhanced user experience – Responsive designs results in overall enhanced user experience, regardless of the type or size of the device. When content itself adjusts to the screen size of the device, users don’t have to work around with zooming in & out options, which increases their affinity towards the website. It leads to them spending more time on the website by drastically reducing bounce rates. More than half of the overall online users are expected to buy products and services from mobile websites provided it has managed to leave a positive impression on them. This is what now majority of the online businesses are aiming at.
  1. Websites speed loading – Responsive websites load faster than others with their loading time being under 3 seconds. They are much faster than websites built specifically for the desktop. Online businesses are losing out on a lot by not getting responsive web designs for their websites. In times of low attention spans and increasing user impatience, not having a responsive website means a lost game. The faster your site loads, the more they are liked by the visitors and the more is the chance of the visitors converting into customers. It also narrows down to effortless user experience, of which responsive web design remains at the core.
  1. Competitive edge – Responsive web design not only lets you keep pace with the industry leaders but also helps you get a competitive edge over your competitors who haven’t year shifted to responsive designs. Especially for small online businesses, there is an enormous competitive edge to be leveraged as the majority of these businesses don’t have a responsive web design. 

Responsive web design isn’t just a trend, it is essentially the need of the hour and the present & future of most websites. You are losing out on a lot of organic traffic, potential customers and leads if your website doesn’t offer the same features when accessed from a smartphone, as it does when accessed from a desktop. @Cloudploys we can upscale your business presence by providing you a wholesome solution for a responsive website.

COVID-19 Pandemic Reinforces Benefits Of Outsourcing

As vividly seen, the rapid outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the world has had a drastic impact on the global economy and overall business environment. 

For many small to large businesses, the virus containment measures taken have shuffled workplaces, declining revenues and in some cases, workforce reductions alongside various other effects. Implications of some impacts are temporary, while others might be long-term. 

In this scenario outsourcing operations is amongst the strongest contingency plans that business leaders must consider in these unprecedented times like these.

Currently, small and medium scale businesses are struggling harder than ever to reduce their overhead expenses while maintaining overall efficiency. As the economic landscape continues to shift, an opportunity has arisen for many businesses who have previously been hesitant to consider outsourcing operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the forefront many of the immediate and long-term benefits of outsourcing businesses functions, including:

  • Reduction of costs

The impact of COVID-19 has proven that many workers don’t physically need to be in the office to work effectively — the same goes for outsourced workers or entire departments. Outsourcing few functions reduces costs while adding highly qualified experts with a deep pool of resources, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty. Outsourcing can also mean less stress for business leaders over employee turnover or potential layoffs.

  • Security and efficiency in a virtual workforce

With many employees working from home for the foreseeable future, businesses are forced to quickly implement technology and solutions that will help them best adapt to these new circumstances. In this virtual age, migrating an organization to cloud-based softwares from desktop or server-based software allows business leaders and employees to have secure and remote access instantaneously without any hassles.

  • Increased depth of knowledge and resources

These designated experts are up to date on all the latest regulatory requirements and are continuously monitoring relevant laws and regulations to stay current on processes necessary for their clients. Having a team on call to tackle miscellaneous issues ultimately allows the company leadership to focus on management and core operations essential to business stability in the current environment.

  • Access to scalable technology

More than ever, the pressure is on for business leaders to correctly use insights and  to drive the company performance higher. Outsourced platforms can deliver real-time reports with metrics that matter to a business’s key stakeholders, allowing them to make just informed decisions.

Businesses have various competitive options when it comes to cloud-based outsourcing— it’s not one size fits all. For example, designating data entry tasks through which an outsourced provider can easily maintain a business’s records remotely at a fraction of the cost of hiring someone onsite. Another more robust option is a complete records or customer management solution, where clients have a fully equipped portal. 

In current state business owners are facing greater expectations when it comes to general compliance requirements. For many, the decision to outsource few functions is the first step toward making life easier and processes safer with the added benefits of resource savings, which allow senior leadership extra time to focus on management and core operations to make sound, logical business decisions.
