AUTONOMOUS DRIVING TECHNOLOGY: COMMERCIAL VIABILITY AND FUTURE ROADMAP

    “Self-driving cars have been a long time in the making. However, it is now within reach, and the pressure is on to fulfil the vision. There is a lot of excitement about autonomous vehicles hitting the streets in the near future, thanks to continued technological advancements, increased funding, and increased public awareness.” Policymakers and urban planners in leading cities are also looking to cooperate together with manufacturers, transportation providers, engineering suppliers, and logistics operators in order to align legislation for testing and mass deployment. It works both ways. The amount of money being invested in autonomy has jumped from millions to billions, so it's understandable that the public and private organisations providing the funds are concerned about the ROI. There's a lot to play for, and while there's been a lot of change in recent years, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about protection, social effects, business models, and efficie

SMART TRANSPORTATION- THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY IS HERE!

  The word “smart” isn’t only about intelligent individuals. Instead, everyday things in our lives like lighting systems, digital wearables, and mobile applications are readily becoming “smart” every passing year.  The concept came into existence in the early 2000s when smart homes, home automation began to increase in popularity. It suddenly became an affordable option and, therefore, viable technology for consumers.  With the changing technological landscapes, these big chances also promised improved transportation in every form. The rising issues related to congestion rates are pushing the need for an improved transportation system. Surprisingly, many studies and surveys value the global intelligent transportation system at more than $25 billion. Are you still thinking about how smart and transportation are related? Let’s talk about that before.  Smart Transportation:  What is it? It refers to a perfect amalgamation of technology and management strategies into transportation systems

WIRELESS HEALTH HEADING TOWARDS CONNECTIVITY FUELED DECADE

  Remember the times when you had to wait for even hours to get an appointment with your doctor? The times when you had to book an appointment over a phone call? Technology isn't the same anymore. The modern-day healthcare industry is changing for the better.  Telemedicine, electronic health records, big data, and AI have completely revolutionized healthcare for both patients and the provider. The aim is to make healthcare more: Efficient Effective  Affordable  Moreover, rapid changes in the communication and electronics industry it is propelling the healthcare industry to evolve. The idea is to make patient information accessible to healthcare providers.  This wireless connectivity is thought to provide considerable benefits to the healthcare industry. How? Well! Global leaders believe that it can help increase savings by improving productivity and outcomes. In fact, as per a study, this connected wireless system can easily add around $400 billion to the global GDP by 2030. To giv

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING - HOW IS IT BENEFICIAL FOR BETTER CLINICAL DECISIONS

  Until a few years ago, one had to use a bag of words to solve or win a challenge. You remember Siri, right? If it had been 2011, it would face some challenge to understand a non-American accent. But if you switch to 2021, there is no issue like that anymore.  That’s how natural language processing technology evolved over the years. However, from a semantic process standpoint, consumer data is remarkably easier to understand. So, if we say it is pretty beneficial for the healthcare industry, many leaders would be doubtful.  And why not when clinical data such as physician notes, emails, or specialist images are more challenging to capture via an automated process. One needs to have the profound clinical knowledge to develop something equivalent to a training set.  Having said that, the healthcare space is quite interested in NLP applications because of its role in improving accuracy levels. For instance, Minneapolis-based Allinas Health opted for NLP technologies. And it was able to d

HOW WILL A SHOCKED HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY EMERGE POST PANDEMIC?

  The definition of this word changed entirely after the deadliest pandemics of all time hit the world by surprise. This health crisis is now pushing the world towards global restructuring. While some organizations are looking for survival solutions, others are trying to position and sustain themselves in the “new normal” world.    Undoubtedly, no one knows when things will get back to normal. Even if they do, they will no longer feel like the normal that we always cherished. Clearly, like other industries, healthcare companies had to take a step back and pave the pathway to create strategies that could help them survive the virus outbreak.    The aim is to create an environment that allows both providers and customers to engage with each other without worrying about contracting the virus. Hence, in this unprecedented new reality, healthcare organizations have developed the following measures to stay ahead of the curve.    Keep reading, and you’ll find out more about the measures!   RE

Disruption Factor Driving The Behavioral Health

  Totting up a global figure isn’t easy! But it won’t be wrong to say that the world is facing a mental health crisis. And the pandemic triggered the numbers exponentially. What we’ve seen isn’t only the disruption in care but also a new onset of conditions.  And guess what? This is happening across the world, irrespective of socioeconomic status, age, or background composition. Shockingly, there is a 50% rise in the prevalence of behavioral-health conditions, leading to an additional spend in the US alone after the onset of the pandemic. Imagine, if there were global data, the number would be in billions. You might be thinking. Right? People have faced such situations before as well! People have faced job loss or other economic uncertainty before as well.  But the impact is way more now! Let’s go over some statistics about mental health to understand the severity of the situation.  Up until 2017, more than 250 million people were suffering from depression, approximately 284 million wi

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION TOOLS ARE THE FUTURE OF THE MEDIA INDUSTRY - WHY?

  The breakthroughs and popularity of VFX heavy genres.  If you consider the top-grossing movies in the last decade, the majority of those films were loaded with visual effects. It's what viewers even look forward to. However, if you think VFX is only limited to Hollywood, you are highly mistaken.  For instance, if you looked at Breathtaking storms or the Mars landing of Perseverance, they used some cool visual effects to build excellent content. Studies even confirm that using such immersive effects like AR or CG can pull the viewers towards TV once again.  In fact, in the month of July, Samsung Electronics announced a partnership with CJ E&M, one of the leading media groups in Asia. They will be combining micro-LED technology to create a virtual production market.  Engage With Us :-   engage@pukkapartners.com That's something to look forward to! The higher accessibility of game engines and studios. Even before the concept of virtual production came to the forefront, digit

PU ELASTOMERS: ONGOING TREND OF REPLACING CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRIES

  Polyurethane Elastomer - A Dynamic Material Polyurethane Elastomers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be tough, resilient, long-lasting, and powerful, stiff, flexible... They can also be vicious as well as elastic. An elastic polymer, which is frequently reduced to the elastomer, is the technical word for a polymer that has both viscosity and elasticity. Because of their exceptional resiliency, polyurethane elastomers have begun to be used in the production of a variety of automotive and machinery parts. Fenders, fascia, trim, interior and external vertical panels, doors, chassis fairings, and window surrounds are all made from polyurethane elastomers. They're also commonly found in tires and wheels as a component material. Elastomeric in nature refers to a produced part that comprises elastomers. Polyurethane Elastomers Have Many Advantages Elastomers provide the most durable and damage-resistant molded products due to their elastic nature. Heat, oils, chemicals, a
