In healthcare, AI-powered diagnostics are enhancing accuracy in identifying conditions ranging from mental health issues to early cancer detection [4].
Digital Transformation in Daily Life
The trend of dematerialization continues to reshape consumer behavior, with physical products increasingly giving way to digital services [1]. This transformation is particularly evident in the hospitality sector, where AI-driven personalization and contactless services are becoming standard features [5]. The Consumer Technology Association’s CES 2025 is showcasing how AI is revolutionizing workplace efficiency and driving innovation across industries [3].
Smart Technology Integration
The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to create more interconnected environments in 2025, with smart technology becoming increasingly prevalent in both business and consumer settings [5]. Industry experts anticipate the emergence of ‘ambient background smart tech’ and predictive analytics, fundamentally changing how organizations operate and make decisions [6]. In the healthcare sector, this manifests through enhanced telehealth capabilities and remote patient monitoring systems [4].
