Smart cities, automated factories, autonomous vehicles, remote patient monitoring, wearable health, and exercise tracking devices, the Internet of Things, Google, Amazon, and mobile content streaming will all generate data that will be collected and stored in cloud computing systems.

The data will then be analyzed by artificial intelligence and deep learning looking for and classifying patterns and insights. Machine learning will then track changes in the trends, patterns, and insights, over time. The resulting perspectives and insights will be used to drive informed decision-making, improving healthcare outcomes, for new innovative projects, prototyping, experimentation, learning, and new business models.
