The technologies identified by the team are expected to reach a commercial adoption at different times in a range spanning 2 to 10+ years as shown in the graphic. Let’s take a look at those expected to reach commercialisation level over the next 4 years.  I already mentioned in the …

As described in the previous post, the team ended up in identifying 19 technology predictions that ordered in terms of likelihood of success are as follows: Remote Healthcare & Wearables: Remote healthcare with advanced wearables will enable patients to obtain remote medical assistance, physicians to perform procedures and consult with …
