The new digital age we are living in is completely different from the previous ones that humanity has experienced, as the pace of change is faster than ever. The continued reduction in the cost of available technologies creates significant opportunities to be exploited, but also threats as traditional industry boundaries expand, creating new competitive pressures for businesses regardless of industry. The significant reduction in the cost of computing power, data storage, the use of broadband services and other individual technologies are driving an exponential rate of change that transcends industry and geographic boundaries, creating opportunities in many industries, including Biomedical and Healthcare .
