Chery's New Energy Models Will Be Equipped With ADAS Technology to Enter the European Market - Business Wire

Optimized 3nm process achieves 45% reduced power usage, 23% improved performance and 16% smaller surface area compared to 5nm process

The leaders of Samsung Foundry Business and Semiconductor R&D Center are holding up three fingers as a symbol of 3nm celebrating the companys first ever production of 3nm process with GAA architecture.

Samsung Electronics, the world leader in semiconductor technology, today announced that it has started initial production of its 3-nanometer (nm) process node applying Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architecture.

Multi-Bridge-Channel FET (MBCFET), Samsungs GAA technology implemented for the first time ever, defies the performance limitations of FinFET, improving power efficiency by reducing the supply voltage level, while also enhancing performance by increasing drive current capability.

Samsung is starting the first application of the nanosheet transistor with semiconductor chips for high performance, low power computing application and plans to expand to mobile processors.

Samsung has grown rapidly as we continue to demonstrate leadership in applying next-generation technologies to manufacturing, such as foundry industrys first High-K Metal Gate, FinFET, as well as EUV. We seek to continue this leadership with the worlds first 3nm process with the MBCFET, said Dr. Siyoung Choi, President and Head of Foundry Business at Samsung Electronics. We will continue active innovation in competitive technology development and build processes that help expedite achieving maturity of technology.

(From left) Michael Jeong, Corporate Vice President; Ja-Hum Ku, Corporate Executive Vice President; and Sang Bom Kang, Corporate Vice President at Samsung Foundry Business are holding up 3nm wafers at the production line of Samsung Electronics Hwaseong Campus.

Samsungs proprietary technology utilizes nanosheets with wider channels, which allow higher performance and greater energy efficiency compared to GAA technologies using nanowires with narrower channels. Utilizing the 3nm GAA technology, Samsung will be able to adjust the channel width of the nanosheet in order to optimize power usage and performance to meet various customer needs.

In addition, the design flexibility of GAA is highly advantageous for Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO),1which helps boost Power, Performance, Area (PPA) benefits. Compared to 5nm process, the first-generation 3nm process can reduce power consumption by up to 45%, improve performance by 23% and reduce area by 16% compared to 5nm, while the second-generation 3nm process is to reduce power consumption by up to 50%, improve performance by 30% and reduce area by 35%.

As technology nodes get smaller and chip performance needs grow greater, IC designers face challenges of handling tremendous amounts of data to verify complex products with more functions and tighter scaling. To meet such demands, Samsung strives to provide a more stable design environment to help reduce the time required for design, verification and sign-off process, while also boosting product reliability.

Since the third quarter of 2021, Samsung Electronics has been providing proven design infrastructure through extensive preparation with Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE) partners including Ansys, Cadence, Siemens and Synopsys, to help customers perfect their product in a reduced period of time.

Together, Ansys and Samsung continue to deliver enabling technology for the most advanced designs, now at 3nm with GAA technology. The signoff fidelity of our Ansys multiphysics simulation platform is testament to our continued partnership with Samsung Foundry at the leading edge. Ansys remains committed to delivering the best design experience for our mutual advanced customers.

We congratulate Samsung on this 3nm GAA production release milestone. Cadence worked closely with Samsung Foundry to enable customers to achieve optimal power, performance and area for this node using our digital solutions from library characterization to full digital flow implementation and signoff, all driven by our Cadence Cerebrus AI-based technology to maximize productivity. With our custom solutions, we collaborated with Samsung to enable and validate a full AMS flow to enhance productivity from circuit design and simulation through automated layout. We look forward to continuing this collaboration to achieve more tapeout successes.

Siemens EDA is pleased to have collaborated with Samsung to help ensure that our existing software platforms also work on Samsungs new 3-nanometer process node since the initial development phase. Our longtime partnership with Samsung through the SAFE program generates significant value for our mutual customers, by certification of Siemens industry-leading EDA tools at 3nm.

Through our long-standing, strategic collaboration with Samsung Foundry, we are enabling our solutions to support Samsungs advanced processes, helping our mutual customers significantly accelerate their design cycles. Our support for Samsungs 3nm process with GAA architecture continues expanding, now with our Synopsys Digital Design, Analog Design and IP products, enabling customers to deliver differentiated SoCs for key high-performance computing applications.

Q: Our agency has many technology contracts -- not only a GDS contract but also lots more, including those for our accounting and reporting system, phone system, quality-control-checking system, auto-ticketing system, online credit card merchant system, online booking system, data-protection system, etc. It seems as if we are going to see more and more of these contracts as the travel agency business evolves. I have always found these contracts very one-sided, and I don't know where to start in trying to make them less so. Any advice for me?

A: Technology contracts are indeed almost always one-sided. They are also full of strange terms that few people other than lawyers can understand, like "non-sublicensable," "consequential damages" and "waiver of subrogation."

I don't think that they are written this way on purpose. What has happened is that the first lawyers to draft such contracts used terminology from the Uniform Commercial Code that every state has adopted, and later drafters have imitated each other by using the same terminology again and again, even where it does not apply.

The first tip that I have for you is this: The contract probably does not even attempt to describe the features of the service that you are buying. If it doesn't, you need to have the vendor add those descriptions as an addendum to the contract, along with a promise that the system will work according to those features. Typically, you can find them on the vendor's website, so the contract should include the descriptions that you find there.

Second, if you have never used the system before, don't let the vendor tie you up for a multiple-year term with no way for you to terminate the contract if you are dissatisfied. Ideally, the first contract that you have with a new vendor should allow you to terminate it on 30 or 60 days' notice for any reason. If that is not acceptable, then try to limit the contract term to one or two years at the most.

On the other hand, if you have been doing business with the vendor for years or know of the vendor's reputation for good service, then my advice is the opposite: Get as long a contract term as you can in order to protect against price increases, along with language protecting against price increases during the term.

Third, be wary of automatic renewal clauses. Most of my clients are probably unable to keep track of the dates by which they must give the vendor notice of nonrenewal, so they get stuck for another one- or multiple-year term. Unless you are one of the minority of business owners who can keep track of nonrenewal notice deadlines, you are probably better off without automatic renewals.

Fourth, try to get a "service-level agreement," which is an addendum listing vendor response times to calls and emails with questions or complaints plus a right to terminate (or penalties on the vendor) if the vendor fails to meet the standards.

Coming to grips with your travel agency's technology contracts - Travel Weekly

As traditional offline and paper processes fail to keep up with demands for speed and visibility, some freight and logistics companies have incorporated new high-tech solutions to streamline operations. But many have also been hesitant.

With changes accelerating and investment pouring in, freight forwarders need to start digitizing now to remain competitive and thrive in the imminent digitized logistics environment.

Emerging technology leaves an uneven playing field

For decades, many freight forwarding companies did not feel the urgency to adopt new, emerging technology outside of their operating systems. Instead they held on to their current and proven processes, not wanting to risk the potential complications and downsides that can come with integrating new tech like losing the human touch to their services.

But the pressure to digitize is growing and seems to be coming from all sides.

I think there are a couple of really key forces driving digitization, said Julian Alvarez, CEO of logistics technology startup Logixboard. Over the last few years, theres been a lot of digital freight forwarding companies, or leading digital first forwarders, coming into the space who are raising a lot of venture capital and ultimately changing the end-user expectations of what working with a freight forwarding company should look and feel like.

Many traditional freight forwarders hold onto the belief that these digital-first forwarders are not able to execute, lacking the expertise and networks to back their sophisticated technology. Whether or not this belief is true, as one leading digital-first forwarder begins transitioning from their current CEO to former Amazon Head of Worldwide Consumer, Dave Clark, it would appear significant investments are being made into operational excellence in order to dispel this belief and quite possibly the competitive advantage currently held by traditional freight forwarders.

These investments in the industry, along with COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions, have all served to increase the demand from freight forwarder customers for more visibility and a better digital customer experience.

Those that have responded to these pressures to improve the customer experience appear to be benefiting from it. Those that have resisted are quickly becoming at risk of falling behind.

Finding even ground

Letting technology maximize productivity and combat operational inefficiencies will be a benefit for both freight forwarding teams and their customers.

According to Alvarez, technology should be viewed as a way to enhance the human touch and customer experience, not replace it.

The digitization of customer-facing applications is not going to be stopped, Alvarez said. If you look five to 10 years out, everyone is going to have to have a platform where they can service their customers online in a really seamless way. There are companies that believe in making that change now and there are others that believe they can wait. Ultimately, they will all have to make that change. Its just a matter of how much pressure theyll have to feel first.

He also added that lagging technology restricts growth. Many companies are not able to scale up because, without adding more people, older processes are not able to accommodate for additional clients.

Despite efforts to make the process as seamless as possible, leveling up your technology requires change and change can be challenging. A lot of care and attention needs to be placed on making the transition with minimal disruption to the business and a short time-to-value for the new tech. Partnering with companies like Logixboard that understand the best processes for change management is critical, Alvarez said.

Winning with technology

The freight forwarding companies that are behind in technology possess the expertise to remain competitive. All they need now are the proper tools.

While the foundations of good customer service stay the same, customer expectations and the way we deliver great service are constantly shifting, said Jason Fowler, president of Air and Sea, a transportation company that provides complete multimodal shipping and logistics solutions. Digitizing our customer experience is helping us evolve and enhance, and its also helping us get a foot in the door with more new business.

Logixboard offers a direct integration dashboard that puts everything freight forwarders need for their customers in one place, including tracking, visibility, invoicing, reporting and more. The company helps freight forwarders and customs brokers worldwide modernize and digitize their customer offering in order to level up and exceed growing expectations in the fast-paced market.

Logixboard integrates with customers existing technology, using the system that houses their data and complementing it with third-party data to deliver a customized, seamless and modern interface to customers.

Digitizing ensures that traditional freight forwarders are able to combine their existing expertise and networks with new technology to create a competitive advantage. Or, at least an even playing field to stand on.

The urgency of leveraging technology to compete - FreightWaves

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) The unmistakable sounds of gunfire, around 12 shots, were picked up on a Vivint SmartHome Security System around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Newport News Police say bullets flew through the air around the 300 block of Deputy Lane in the Courthouse Green neighborhood.

That is a sound no one wants to hear near their home. The good news is no one was hurt. The bad news is no one has been arrested.

Three videos from the Vivint show four masked men running back and forth; you can hear gunfire in rapid succession, then the men duck behind a white car. We dont know what they heard, but whatever it was made them duck and cover.

I thought they were up to something with the masks on and everything, George said as he explained his Vivint system that sees and hears all that appears in front of it with a very wide-angle field.

I was upstairs, and I heard some gunshots and then I came downstairs, and everyone was running around and seeing where the kids were, said Jeanette who also heard the shots. They were yelling for the kids.

Every three or four days we hear gunfire, so this is nothing new. We call police, let them know whats going on, they say, yeah, we will send someone out.

10 On Your Side went door-to-door getting reactions; however most werent home and many of those that were made it clear theyve had enough.

We are moving. We are moving. Virginia is not where I want to be anymore. I dont want my kids taking the trash out at night. We are very shaken up, said one neighbor.

10 On Your Side has learned that Newport News Police put up a camera, that was working Tuesday night. The Courthouse Green Neighborhood will be the next to get ShotSpotter Technology.

One of the largest mistakes a lot of scientific minded individuals is to think that evolution means progress, but evolution is not progressive. Theres no forward motion with evolution. Theres no end-state that evolution works towards. The next iteration of man is not necessarily better or worse than the generation before itit only has a conglomeration of genes that led towards the optimization of survival.

Theres going argument that technology and human evolution go hand-in-glove. That technology adds an extra dimension to us, expanding on what we are as a species.

Regardless of where we may sit, here are five companies trying to find their own ways into our consciousness, and trying to link success to progress.

Grayscale Investments hasnt quite exhausted all of its efforts to get the United States first Bitcoin spot ETF past the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Now the company has filed a petition for review with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to challenge the SECs ruling to deny conversion of their Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX:GBTC) to an ETF.

Grayscale supports and believes in the SECs mandate to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets and facilitate capital formation and we are deeply disappointed by and vehemently disagree with the SECs decision to continue to deny spot Bitcoin ETFs from coming to the U.S. market. Through the ETF application review process, we believe American investors overwhelmingly voiced a desire to see GBTC convert to a spot Bitcoin ETF, which would unlock billions of dollars of investor capital while bringing the worlds largest Bitcoin fund further into the U.S. regulatory perimeter. We will continue to leverage the full resources of the firm to advocate for our investors and the equitable regulatory treatment of Bitcoin investment vehicles, said Michael Sonnenshein, Grayscales CEO.

Grayscale has set up individual companies with a number of different cryptocurrency assets in mind. Investors buy shares in the company, which rise or depreciate in value as the asset does. Its functionally an ETF without needing to be an ETF. A few of the assets under custody include Ethereum (OTCQX:ETHE), Bitcoin Cash Trust (OTCQX: BCHG), and fourteen more. Its a way for investors to get exposure to the asset without the hassle of actually owning it.

The company has been pursuing this objective since 2013, periodically filing registration documents with the SEC and having them rejected. Grayscale isnt the only company involved heresince 2013, theres been a virtual lineup of companies ranging from Van-Eck to Valkyrie and everyone in betweentrying to be the first to get a spot ETF past the regulator. Even as other Bitcoin derivatives, such as ProShares Bitcoin Futures ETF from last year, started making the rounds.

As Grayscale and the team at Davis Polk & Wardwell have outlined, the SEC is failing to apply consistent treatment to similar investment vehicles, and is therefore acting arbitrarily and capriciously in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There is a compelling, common-sense argument here, and we look forward to resolving this matter productively and expeditiously, said Donald B. Verrilli, Jr., Grayscale senior legal strategist and former U.S. Solicitor General.

Well see if theres any forward progress after this tactic.

GBTC is way down following Bitcoins collapse. It closed at $12.06.

LQwD Fintech (TSXV: LQWD) (OTC: LQWDF) launched 17 international routing nodes on the Lightning Network, which puts the company in a position to pick up revenues from leveraging these routing fees on the global payments network.

Two years ago, Bitcoin hitting $19K would have wonderful. This time last year, it would have been terrible. This year it is. But thats the nature of cryptocurrencys volatilityand especially Bitcoin, where whales may resurface without warning and unload a substantial amount of Bitcoin back onto the market.

That causes some companies and investors alike to back away. Maybe strategicallylike pulling your BTC into cash and waiting for bottom to buy back in and get more for less while you wait for the next bull runand maybe not. Other companies recognize that buying and building when low means revenue later.

Right now, the Michael Saylors of the world. Hes the CEO of Microstrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) who found himself in some trouble with potential margin calls due to firms big-time bet on Bitcoin. Now hes doubled down and bought $10 million more Bitcoin. Maybe LQwD Fintech and Microstrategy know something the rest of the market doesnt?

Since launching our first Lightning Network node in November 2021, LQwDs nodes have already routed over 72 BTC and over 36,000 transactions, which is extremely encouraging in these early stages. We are making excellent progress establishing LQwD as a serious network participant, and in coming months, we will launch the LQwD business-to-business platform (now in beta), which also allows retail customers to take advantage of the economics and efficiencies of the network, said Shone Anstey, LQwD Fintech Corp. CEO.

LQwD is a Lightning Network Service Provider (LSP) focused on development the Bitcoin Lightning Network payment infrastructure with the overall goal of accelerating the progress towards widespread Bitcoin adoption. The idea is to develop institutional grade services in support of the network to drive improved functionality, transaction, capability, user adoption, utility and to resolve the pesky Bitcoin scaling problemwhich is what the Lightning Network was invented for in the first place.

LQwDs routing nodes extend through 16 countries including:

Lightning Network continues to make forward progress with total network capacity climbing 138 per cent since last year, according to Bitcoin Visuals. The company anticipates this trend to continue despite market trends, as larger enterprises and exchanges like Kraken, Robinhood, Twitter and the Block cash app have all integrated Lightning Network capabilities. Arcane Research predicts that the Lightning Network could support up to 700 users by 2030.

Shares are down a half a penny and closed at $0.11.

We need to seriously rethink the way we think about the metaverse. Its been sold to date as a digital playground where users can build their own playhouses using non fungible tokens bought from OpenSea, and where its entirely possible to spend $400,000 on a plot of land to be next to Snoop Dogg, or some other celebrity. Its that kind of fluff that creates hype and makes it difficult to envision the possibilities for progress inherent in the technology.

Now Siemens and NVIDIA (NASDAQ.NVDA) have extended their partnership to enable the creation of the industrial metaverse and increase use and development of AI-driven digital twin technology that will help progress their industrial automation to a whole level.

This type of metaverse isnt going to be the same as Decentraland or The Sandbox, which are retail playgrounds. Theres no NFTs, no Snoop Dogg, and no non-industrial access. Instead, the two companies are connecting to build the NVIDIA Omniverse, which is a platform for 3D-design and collaboration. This is a virtual space where companies can gather to build and test physics-based digital models from Siemens and real-time artificial intelligence from NVIDIA to help companies make decisions.

Photorealistic, physics-based digital twins embedded in the industrial metaverse offer enormous potential to transform our economies and industries by providing a virtual world where people can interact and collaborate to solve real-world problems. Through this partnership, we will make the industrial metaverse a reality for companies of all sizes. For over a decade,our digital twin technology has been helpingcustomers across all industries to boost their productivity and today offer the industrys most comprehensive digital twin. When Siemens Xcelerator is connected to Omniverse, we will enable a real-time, immersive metaverse that connects hardware and software, from the edge to the cloud with rich data from Siemens software and solutions, said Roland Busch, president and chief executive officer, Siemens AG.

NVIDIA invented the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999, which basically kicked off the progress that led to the PC gaming market, redefined the way we think about computer graphics and fired up the era of modern artificial intelligence. Siemens AG in contrast is a tech company focused on finding progress in the industry, infrastructure, platform and healthcare sectors.

The particulars of this partnership make a certain sort of sense. It combines technologies and ecosystems from each company to bring the industrial metaverse into fruition. The NVIDIA Omniverse is an AI-enabled, physical simulation and industrial-scale virtual world engine that helps produce completely live digital twins. NVIDIAs AI, used by over 25,000 companies all over the world, is the engine behind the Omniverse.

This partnership brings together complementary technologies and ecosystems to realize the industrial metaverse. Siemens is uniquely positioned at the intersections of the real and digital world, information technology and operational technology. The Siemens Xcelerator platform connects mechanical, electrical and software domains across the product and production processes and enables the convergence of IT and OT.

NVIDIA Omniverse is an AI-enabled, physically simulated and industrial-scale virtual-world engine that enables for the first time full-fidelity live digital twins. NVIDIA AI, used by more than 25,000 companies worldwide, is the intelligence engine of Omniverse in the cloud and autonomous systems at the edge. NVIDIA Omniverse and AI are ideal computation engines to represent the comprehensive digital twin from Siemens Xcelerator.

Shares dipped $3.83 today and closed at $151.59.

Neurosense Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NRSN) received results from a biomarker study it performed to evalutate the potential of their combination drug for Alzheimers treatment, CogniC.

The biomarker study found several biomarkers associated with Alzheimers, which could theoretically indicate CogniCs action mechanism is effective in targeting pathways involved in the disease. These include miRNA dysregulation, lysosomal dysfunction and impaired autophagy.

Having identified these promising biomarkers, which have the potential to be modulated by CogniC, we are now preparing to carry out a clinical proof-of-concept study in conjunction with a leading AD clinic. The study is expected to commence in 2023, said NeuroSense CEO, Alon Ben-Noon.

Neurosense Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company working on finding treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, the most common being Alzheimers, Parkinsons and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Results have revealed high levels of a type of type of protein called TDP-43 in people who suffer from Alzheimers. TDP-43 is involved in processing molecules called messenger RNA (mRNA), which serve as the genetic blueprints for making proteins. These findings provide support that TDP-54 pathology is a large part of Alzheimers, thereby reinforcing the evidence in Alzheimers research about the role of that particular protein in neurodegenerative pathologies. TDP-43 has shown up in 57 per cent of Alzheimers cases, and aggregates of the protein have been shown to be cytotoxic in vitro and in vivo.

NeuroSenses combination therapy platform, which is the basis for CogniC, has already demonstrated TDP-43 in a Phase IIa clinical trial biomarker study in ALS.

Shares rose 23.4 per cent today and closed at $3.38.

The question of whether or not cloud computing is the next stage of computer progress is still up for debate, but if it does turn out to be the case (and its looking to be in that direction with each passing month), then thats going to make Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) the bona-fide king of this particular castle.

The latest news involves Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), which expanded its strategic partnership with Oracle to include Metallic digital management as a service (DmaaS) on Oracle Cloud.

Were excited to partner with Commvault and enable our customers to restore and recover their most mission-critical cloud data. Data protection and compliance requirements are necessities in todays business environment, which is why were confident that OCIs built-in, always-on security features combined with Metallic DMaaS will provide additional peace of mind for our joint customers, said Clay Magouyrk, EVP of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Commvault is a data-management software company involved in providing a software-as-a-service based intelligent data services platform for storage, protection, optimization and use of data. The companys software can be used for data backup and recovery, cloud and infrastructure management, as well as retention and compliance.

Metallic and OCI bring price-performance, built in security and recovery and management for enterprise customers looking to advance their OCI transition. Metallic DmaaS also helps protect client data from corruption, unauthorized access and other threats across sectors of business, including insurance, financial services, manufacturing and defense, especially as it pertains to ransomeware and cyber-attacks.

Commvault shares are down $1.08 and closed at $62.90.

Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Marketto surpass USD 315. 6 billion by 2031 from USD 90. 1 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 13. 4% in the coming years, i. e. , 2021-2031. .

New York, June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Market: Segmented: By Technology, By Application, And Region Global Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends For 20192021 And Forecasts To 2031" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06288805/?utm_source=GNW Product OverviewAnti-counterfeiting technologies offer techniques for determining if a product is real or counterfeit, or has been subjected to fraudulent activity. They may utilize a variety of methods to accomplish this, such as attaching remote sensors to items or embedding hidden identifiers within them, but they essentially provide one or more of the following functions: authentication, tracking/tracing, and anti-tampering/anti-alteration. Anti-counterfeiting technologies differ in terms of the combination of important activities they perform, the techniques they use to do them, and their mode of inspection whether they can be verified using human senses or require the use of a specific instrument.

Market HighlightsGlobal Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Market is projected to register a notable CAGR of 13.4% by 2031

Factors such as increased free international trade for pharmaceutical and cosmetic items, as well as low drug regulation, have resulted in the counterfeiting of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, which has had an impact on the industry. If there are no proper representations, such as their identity or source, medical and cosmetic products are considered to be counterfeited. Several anti-counterfeit technologies, including overt, covert, and track & trace technologies, are employed to reduce counterfeiting of these packaged products. In the worldwide market, this element generates demand.

Global Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Market: SegmentsAuthentication Packaging Technology segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

On the basis of Technology, the global Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Market is fragmented into Authentication Packaging Technology, and Track and Trace Packaging Technology. In past years, the Authentication Packaging Technology was the largest revenue generator, and it is expected to expand at a significant rate over the forecast period. Authentication packaging technology includes inks and dyes, holograms, watermarks, and taggants, among others. A watermark is a character or image encoded on the package surface that contains authentication information.

Pharmaceuticals segment is expected grow with the maximum CAGR during 2021-31

Global Anti Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Packaging Market is classified on the basis of application into Cosmetics and Personal Care, and Pharmaceutical. The pharmaceuticals application generated the most revenue and is expected to expand significantly throughout the projected period. The pharmaceutical packaging industry is facing challenges as the rise of unrestricted medicine commerce encourages counterfeiting. Pharmaceutical packaging makes use of multiple technologies, including covert, overt, and track-and-trace technologies like RFID and Bar Code.

Market DynamicsDriversHigher presence of low value and high volume manufacturing nature of the market

The prevalence of the high volume, low-value manufacturing nature of the market is the cause of the severe counterfeiting efforts. The cosmetics and personal care industrys trends are currently transitioning from high-end beauty goods to everyday skin care items marketed in local markets. The threat of counterfeiting in the cosmetics and personal care business would grow as a result. Furthermore, when the pharmaceutical business decentralizes in terms of manufacturing and the small-scale personal care industry emerges, manufacturers control over the supply chain is eroded, increasing the likelihood of counterfeiting.

The rise in innovative technologies for verification is entering the market

Most of the innovative technologies for verifying the authenticity of cosmetics are being developed and are making their way to market. The growing usage of such technology by global cosmetics producers is driving up demand for anti-counterfeit cosmetics packaging around the world.

RestraintSignificantly priced Track and Trace Technologies are majorly challenging the market

Traditional authentication technologies such as holograms, inks, and dyes are used to safeguard most low-cost product categories. The markets growth is being hampered by the prohibitive cost structure of track and trace technology, as well as the complex processes required in tracking products.

The patient engagement technology market is expected to grow from US$ 21,354. 38 million in 2022 to US$ 59,003. 21 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18. 5% from 2022 to 2028.

New York, June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Patient Engagement Technology Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Component, Therapeutic Area, Delivery Mode, Application, and End User" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06289926/?utm_source=GNW Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and obesity, the surge in government initiatives, and the growing number of start-ups are likely to fuel the patient engagement markets growth.

Patient engagement refers to anything that allows healthcare organizations to communicate with their patients, such as using an online patient portal.However, patient involvement is more than just interactive technology such as a portal or automated message.

Moreover, the medical procedure scheduled for patients is critical in assuring patient satisfaction.Technology increases service quality and ensures safety.

Wireless technologies have been built around the hospital environments through which patients and healthcare providers can manage personalized data.According to a white paper issued by UbiCare, patient engagement system usage reduces [length of stay (LOS)] by 25% per day for hip replacement patients and 13% for knee replacement patients.

For instance, in 2021, an innovative patient engagement program, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), was implemented at university hospitals (UH), which yielded notable results. According to a news release, it led to shorter hospital stays, less use of opioids, fewer post-surgical infections, and lower costs for patients. The program included pre-operative counseling to set expectations with patients and families, optimizing pre-operative and post-operative nutrition, minimizing the use of narcotic pain relievers after surgery, promoting early mobility after surgery, and getting patients healthier. ERAS was first implemented at UH Cleveland Medical Center and used at all hospitals across the UH system. Further, in May 2022, the program won the Patient Engagement Best Practice Award from the Ohio Patient Safety Institute for 2021.Patient empowerment through enhanced health knowledge, timely appointment scheduling with doctors/caregivers, increasing adherence to recommended medical treatments, and rising interaction with providers via online tools are advantages of patient engagement technology solutions.These solutions are adopted based on the level of patient empowerment they provide.
