The demand for multi-factor authentication (MFA), requiring additional proof of identity beyond a simple username and password, is gaining acceptance worldwide. Financial organizations are facing the reality that customer experience, from registration to login, preferences, and beyond, is the new battleground. The rising number of identity thefts and breaches, as well as the increased use of IoT/BYOD devices, are driving up demand for MFA. Face recognition, voice analysis, and iris recognition are used by organizations to authenticate and verify employees.

Brain monitoring is fundamental in understanding how our brain works and in determining the root cause of neurological disorders and general brain functioning. New-generation brain monitoring technologies continuously record brain activity in a clinic or at a patient's home. These sensor-generated devices are part of an emerging field that will improve disease management and diagnosis for those with conditions such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rightly touted as the future of technology. Many of our devices are already operating under the core principles of the IoT – connectivity and interoperability – and these features are only going to become more prevalent. From smartphones that can control our light bulbs, to our home security systems that work seamlessly across entire households, the IoT is here to stay.

4D imaging in healthcare has evolved to such a great extent that today, it has become a fundamental imaging modality across the entire continuum of healthcare . The potential roles of imaging are being developed across clinical research and drug development to support medical experts in selecting and providing the most effective and appropriate line of treatment; thus, saving a huge number of lives each year.

Access to safe drinking water is one of the great challenges of modern times, to which there is no definitive answer. Freshwater sources are declining at an alarmingly fast rate. Demand is outstripping supply, which means the global population could be faced with a grave shortage of drinking water very soon. With climate change accelerating the depletion of our freshwater reserves, the need for new sources is clear.

Bronchitis is a common condition in which the lungs become inflamed. The name stems from the destination of the condition which exists within the bronchial tubes. Bronchitis usually is nothing to worry about and presents itself as the common cold with typical signs and symptoms being: coughing, wheezing, dyspnea, chest congestion, mucus discharge, sore throat, chills, and fever.

AI is set to infiltrate almost every aspect of our existence. Almost no corner of humanity will go untouched by its impact, with entire industries recalibrating their operations to make way for intelligent technologies. Artificial Intelligence that uses Machine Learning (ML), data analytics, Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and computer vision algorithms will revolutionize many aspects of healthcare, but notably the mental health industry.

Most people have heard of fintech in some form or other. It’s an industry that’s being increasingly identified as the future of finance: in 2021, FinTech received investments of nearly $226 billion, and the North American market alone is projected to reach $258 trillion by 2027, according to the latest report by BCC Research. Knowing about fintech is one thing. Understanding its global importance is the next. But comprehending the ins and outs of this industry is the crucial final step for those operating within the industry - or hoping to make an entry.

Fermenting is an ancient method of food preservation. It involves the conversion of certain food properties into another compound through the addition of a microbe like yeast. Sourdough bread, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt – these universally beloved foods are all derived from fermentation.

Wireless medical devices are the future of healthcare. Allowing for the remote monitoring of patients, up-to-date information as well as an overall better treatment plan from physicians, these devices are changing the landscape of modern-day medicine. Of course, when technology utilizes wireless features, its connectivity is what deems the product a success or failure. If the connectivity elements aren't prepared to host a large number of users, or don't have a cyber-attack plan in place, these products will not fit the bill for the various applications within the healthcare industry.
