Digital Health mobile apps and connected medical devices are rapidly changing how patients learn, monitor, diagnose and treat disease. Even in these early days of the digital transformation of healthcare, connected medical devices and digital services are winning reimbursement as “digiceuticals” by payors and insurers. However, the critical need going forward is how to measure, compare and prove these new tools and digital biomarkers are safe, effective and valuable at scale, not just in the USA but globally, across geographies, cultures and health systems.
In today’s dynamic landscape, manufacturing and supply chain operations face increasing complexity, driven by global risks, environmental considerations, and rapid technological advancements. The upcoming MIT ILP Lead Edge Webinar, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, will explore critical challenges and emerging strategies shaping the sector's future. Topics will include managing supply chain risks, evaluating environmental impact scenarios, and leveraging AI and digitalization to improve operational efficiency and resilience. The webinar will also address approaches to carbon footprint mitigation and the role of accurate carbon accounting in advancing sustainability objectives.
It’s easy to think that digital business success depends on becoming more mobile, social, and analytical. But that barely hints at how digital technologies are changing business. SMACIT (social, mobile, analytics, cloud, internet of things)—and more recent technology arrivals like artificial intelligence, robotics, and biometrics—are ridiculously affordable, easy to use, and powerful. Anyone can acquire and use these technologies—your customers, your employees, your partners, your competitors (and your future competitors). Consequently, you will never generate a competitive edge by simply adopting some digital technology. How will companies create competitive advantage digitally? Speed and integration—the antithesis of what most established companies are designed for. Thus to become more agile and integrated, companies must not only use digital technologies effectively, they must fundamentally redesign themselves. Drawing on examples such as Philips, LEGO, Schneider Electric, and BNY Mellon, we describe how big, old companies are designing themselves for digital success.
Technology Trends to enable Supply Chain digitalization Advanced Demand Analytics and its Impact on Business Performance Implementation: Global Retailer Requirements for Success
Moderator: Randall Field Speakers: - Sertac Karaman (17 minutes) "The path towards autonomous vehicles on our roads" - Sanjay Sarma (17 minutes) "Digitalization of the mobility value chain: opportunities and implications"
Over the past decade, new digital technologies have re-defined mobility in urban areas through new on-demand mobility services offered through a sharing economy model. This session will explore future opportunities associated with digital transformations of the mobility value chain and will assess the implications linked to these transformations from a strategic perspective. In particular, the technological foundations of in-vehicle digitalization will be explored for the case of autonomous vehicles, with a focus on assessing current technical implementations and potential technical solutions.
