Customer Experience and Customer Engagement Market to Surpass $100 Billion in Annual Worldwide Revenue by 2026, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

Customer experience (CX) and customer engagement (CE) initiatives continue to be a major priority for organizations around the world, especially in light of the significant changes and disruptions to customer relationships that emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a new report from Dash Research, this level of focus is leading to brisk growth in the market for CX/CE technology platforms. “While CX improvements are largely driven by organizational change management, software is increasingly being used to support these initiatives by managing and making available the plethora of customer data that is captured and aggregated from a variety of sources,” says principal analyst Keith Kirkpatrick. He adds that some of the key drivers of market growth include pandemic-related shutdowns and reopening, increased focus on omnichannel customer interaction capabilities, the rise of customer centricity, and the elimination of functional silos within organizations. Dash Research forecasts that global CX/CE revenue will increase from $63.6 billion in 2021 to $100.3 billion by 2026. The market size experienced a 13.5% decline between 2019 and 2020 due to economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but spending has recovered in 2021 and is projected to reach 2019 levels again by the end of 2022.

Healthcare Industry’s First Carbon Tech Platform Launched by Zasti

Zasti

Zasti, an advanced analytics enterprise that offers carbon tech solutions and strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values to the United States healthcare marketplace, announced it is collaborating with Change Healthcare (NASDAQ: CHNG), a health care technology leader. The two companies are aiming to build efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions generated by the healthcare industry. Combining billions of data points from Change Healthcare with Zasti’s AI technology allows users to Assess, Target, Optimize, and Monitor ( ATOM TM ) carbon emissions. “Working with Change Healthcare to deploy ATOM throughout the healthcare industry will allow organizations to be more efficient as decarbonization strategies are considered and implemented” explained Krish R. Krishnan, Zasti’s CEO. “The healthcare industry is responsible for a tenth of all greenhouse gas emissions, making it a focal point for stakeholder scrutiny”. Zasti’s ATOM provides precise measurement of direct and indirect carbon emissions via a proprietary healthcare carbon database. With this data, carbon emission hotspots are identified using pre-designed algorithms providing uses with an AI-driven decarbonization strategy. “The power of our collaboration is combining real-world data that is already processed by Change Healthcare with Zasti’s ATOM platform,” said Tim Suther, senior vice president and general manager of Data Solutions at Change Healthcare. “A provider’s carbon baseline can be quickly established with visibility into how individual procedures and activities contribute to carbon emissions. The ATOM platform then provides benchmarks and actionable insights to reduce those emissions. Real-time data-driven actions can then facilitate carbon emission reductions.” Zasti’s ATOM AI technology offers solutions that achieve continuous optimization and offsetting of carbon emissions. It also tracks the real-time progress of emission reductions through a user-friendly dashboard that integrates with accounting, sustainability, and disclosure details. Dr. David Chang, leading cataract surgeon at the Peninsula Eye Surgery Center in Northern California shared his perspective by stating, “The carbon footprint of the healthcare sector in general, and the operating room in particular, is surprisingly large. We have an important opportunity to make an impact by being more green and by reducing needless OR waste.” “Like all industries today, healthcare too must accelerate the decarbonization process. No industry, especially healthcare, is immune from the responsibility to strive for achieving net-zero emissions. Nor can an industry dodge the looming regulations imposing a plan and the actions moving toward net-zero emissions”, Krishnan, also a Delegate to COP26, stated. “Our collaboration with Change Healthcare is a major step in revolutionizing the healthcare industry by making it sustainable.” About Zasti The Zasti proprietary carbon emission metrics database and AI platform offer a granular, accurate baselining of emission and configurable ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) compliance reports. The Zasti AI analytics suite provides management teams with fact-based, real-time, actionable insights that deliver meaningful progress toward meeting decarbonization goals.

Helping Seniors Feel Less Isolated and More Connected

YourUpdateTV

The ongoing pandemic has increased the likelihood that seniors feel more isolated, making tech-savviness both essential and a determinant of health. Recently, Senior Director at Care.com, Jill McNamara, teamed with YourUpdateTV on a satellite media tour to discuss the importance of getting seniors actively engaged online through technology. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/nNHYsVdQjZY The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge our aging population in numerous ways. They are feeling more isolated than ever and helping them stay engaged and socially connected has never been more important. According to Care.com’s 2021 Senior Care Outlook Survey, while aging in place remains their preference, the prolonged crisis has increased their desire to have more help at home. This results in a dire need to hire help with tasks within the home, such as meal preparation and light housekeeping. Both of these pandemic challenges are making tech-savviness essential and a key determinant of our seniors’ emotional and physical health going forward. This is why Care.com, the world’s leading online platform for finding family care, and GetSetUp, the largest social learning platform that helps older adults learn new skills and have new experiences, are collaborating to offer live online caregiving classes, such as how to find and pay for the care they need. Through this partnership, GetSetUp and Care.com will help older adults overcome any fears and reluctance they have in using tech to enhance their overall well-being.

Powering Through a Sore Throat: Understanding the Symptoms and Seeking Relief

YourUpdateTV

From a first date to a big audition, to an important presentation, having a sore throat can easily put a damper on important moments and your everyday life. Recently, Family Medicine Physician, Dr. Jennifer Caudle, teamed with Mucinex and YourUpdateTV on a satellite media tour to discuss how to relieve sore throat symptoms. With another cold and flu season upon us, we know the impact of symptoms like cough, body aches, fever and more can really impede on our everyday lives. Recent findings show that sore throat pain is one of the top three most debilitating symptoms alongside fever and migraine. To better understand the impact sore throat pain has on people’s lives, Mucinex surveyed 2,005 U.S. adults in partnership with One Poll* about their experiences coping with it. Despite this, 55% of people are most likely to “power through” a sore throat—meaning they would continue working, going to school, running errands, completing housework, etc. while dealing with difficult sore throat pain. While cold and flu season can be so unpredictable each year, there are many over-the-counter medications that can be of help in relieving those unpleasant symptoms. For instance, Mucinex recently introduced Mucinex InstaSoothe, a new product line of lozenges and sprays designed to numb, soothe and relieve that sore throat pain. The lozenges contain ingredients like Hexylresorcinol (also known as Hex), a local anesthetic for topical use on the mucous membranes, which helps to deliver that ‘numbing’ effect to throat and mouth, providing that much needed relief. The holiday season adds more to-dos and pressure, causing us to set high expectations and race to accomplish tasks. According to Dr. Caudle, if your energy is low, simply rest and take the time you need to focus on important tasks. Keep those vitamins handy and be sure to fuel your body with the right nutrients to help maintain a healthy immune system. Finally, for those of you back at work or school, be sure to bundle up in the colder weather, wear a mask, wash your hands and remember to continue social distancing. People must use over-the-counter products as directed. If your symptoms persist, you should contact your healthcare professional and get checked out if deemed necessary. For more information on how to power through this cold and & flu season, visit Mucinex.com. About Dr. Jennifer Caudle: Dr. Jen Caudle is a board-certified family medicine physician and associate professor in the department of Family Medicine at Rowan University-School of Osteopathic Medicine. She appears regularly as an on-air health expert for local and national news outlets, including ‘The TODAY Show’, CNN, FOX News, PBS, Fox 29 Philadelphia News, and many others. Dr. Jen’s health articles have been published in The Daily Beast, CNN.com, and ABCNews.com, among others. Dr. Jen graduated with honors from Princeton University and earned her medical degree from UMDNJ – School of Osteopathic Medicine. About the Survey*: This random double-opt-in survey of 2,005 Americans was commissioned by Mucinex between August 26 and August 30, 2021. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research ( AAPOR ) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research ( ESOMAR ).

Microban® International Announces a New Range of Antiviral Technologies

Microban International

Microban International, the global leader in antimicrobial solutions, odour control and residual sanitisation/disinfection solutions, is pleased to announce a new range of antiviral technologies that are proven to reduce viral loading on products and surfaces. Microban has long been a trusted partner in a wide range of sectors – from consumer and healthcare to industrial and construction – and this announcement adds to the versatility of the company’s technology portfolio. Microban ® technology can be incorporated into various materials during manufacturing, becoming part of the product’s structure to provide inherent and enduring protection from microbes. Recent data demonstrates that new antiviral technologies from Microban conform to both ISO 18184 – which assesses the antiviral performance of treated textile products, such as woven and knitted fabrics, fibres, yarns, and braids – and ISO 21702, which measures activity in treated plastics and other non-porous surfaces. Thorough testing was performed to evaluate the efficacy of each product type against many viruses, including bacteriophage Phi6, an important surrogate virus for SARS-CoV-2. The results showed that articles treated with these technologies can now benefit from reduced viral loading* by up to 99 %. Antiviral technologies from Microban inhibit the viruses’ ability to remain viable on surfaces. The modes of action vary, disrupting the structure of either the outer protein coat – to prevent viruses from recognising or binding to host cells – or nucleic acid payload, to prevent viral replication. This gives manufacturers a valuable product feature and provides consumers with added peace of mind. Michael Ruby, President of Microban International, explained: “We are excited with the latest results confirming the antiviral activity of our new technologies. Assessing antiviral efficacy in treated products to a standard that meets the complex regulatory landscape is an arduous process, but we have been confident throughout that our innovative solutions conformed to the rigorous ISO standards. Our world-class research team and global in-house regulatory department worked diligently to ensure that the technology is recognised as effective and compliant across various markets, to support partners with their claims and give customers even greater confidence in products protected with Microban antiviral technology.” Following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a monumental upsurge in demand for antiviral technology in products and it is readily acknowledged that Microban was not the first in the industry to make antiviral claims. Instead, the company invested a considerable amount of time and resources to ensure that its antiviral technologies were not only scientifically proven to be effective in reducing viral loading on surfaces and products, but that they could also be used in a regulatory compliant manner by brands and manufacturers across a variety of territories and product types. Microban is committed to being a reliable and trusted industry leader, and its unrivalled regulatory expertise can help to ensure that partners are aware of the implications that antiviral claims can have on their product types in the countries where they are being sold. For more information on Microban’s new range of antiviral technologies and registration requirements in your territory, visit www.microban.com/antiviral/technologies or contact your Microban representative. *Antiviral efficacy may vary depending on substrate type, application dosage of the treatment, impurities, and application procedure. Only Microban antiviral technologies that are registered with US EPA and are EU BPR compliant are being offered for sale. In the US, antiviral technologies may only be incorporated into products that are or will be registered with the US EPA. Contact your Microban representative for further information.

VinFuture foundation hosts public dialogue about "Renewable energy & new materials for the future" with Nobel-Winning professor

Vingroup

VinFuture Foundation will hold its Online Science Dialogue series’ second installment discussing “Renewable energy and new materials for the future" on November 12th, 2021. The Dialogue will see the attendance of world-class scientists, most notably Professor Konstantin (Kostya) Sergeevich Novoselov, a Nobel Prize laureate in Physics. The event is aimed at bringing science and technology closer to the general public with solutions that have high real-world applicability. HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 8 November 2021 - This November, VinFuture 's Dialogue is titled "Renewable energy and new materials for the future" and centers around foundational knowledge and applications of new energy and materials in humanity's response to the global energy crisis. As part of the program, young scientists will also have chances to converse with world-leading scientists, and to discuss the opportunities and challenges they encounter in their start-ups, thereby bringing research projects into industrial production and out into the world. Most notably, leading the discussion on "Future materials" will be the Nobel Prize laureate in Physics - Professor Konstantin (Kostya) Sergeevich Novoselov. As the youngest scientist to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics since 1973, Prof. Novoselov has a global influence in condensed matter physics and nanotechnology. His achievements with graphene - the strongest ultra-thin material in human knowledge - promise to deeply change the fields of Science and Technology, Industry, and Medicine. Prof. Novoselov is currently a Fellow of the Royal Society, a member of the US National Academy of Science, as well as the National University of Singapore's Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor and Director of the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials. Since 2014, Prof. Kostya Novoselov has always been featured as one of the most cited scientists globally and as part of the world's top 0.01% in the field of Science and Nanotechnology (PLOS, 2021). Professor Nguyen Thuc Quyen, Director for Polymers and Organic Solids, Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), will speak at the Dialogue on the topic of solar energy. With more than 418 research projects and 24 patents on renewable energy, electronic - organic devices, solar cells and photovoltaics, etc., Prof. Thuc Quyen was one of the world's most influential scientific minds and Top 1% Highly Cited Researchers in Materials Science according to Thomson Reuters and Clarivate Analytics for 5 consecutive years, from 2015 to 2019. Dr. Corey Hoven, Founder and CTO of Next Energy Technologies, will bridge the gap between scientific research and practical application. His company has successfully commercialized smart windows that can generate electricity for high-rise buildings using solar energy. VinFuture's Science Dialogue series aims to provide a space for open dialogue with the public, spreading the values of "science at the service of humanity" and contributing to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Dialogue gives special attention to undergraduates, postgraduates, scientists, and young technology entrepreneurs in Vietnam and around the world. They will have the opportunity to share new perspectives, discuss breakthrough ideas, and raise their concerns about research topics or start-up projects and innovations in order to be discussed and addressed by the guest speakers. Dr. Le Mai Lan, Vice Chairman of Vingroup and Representative of VinFuture Foundation, shared: "Through the public dialogue series, we hope that leading scientists and researchers around the world can share their great contributions to the public in easy-to-understand language, turning science into a familiar and inseparable part of people's lives. At the same time, we would like to inspire youth to take on responsibility for pressing global issues, thereby encouraging them to pursue scientific research to find solutions." Previously, in September 2021, the first dialogue titled "How Science is Changing Global Health?" was successfully organized by VinFuture Foundation with the participation of world-leading scientists in the field of health management, such as Prof. Ezekiel Emanuel (Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, USA), Professor Alta Schutte (Principal Theme Lead of Cardiac, Vascular and Metabolic Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia),...
