<\/strong>For many white collar workers, remote work has become the norm over the past year as businesses across the world shuttered their offices in response to the pandemic. Although questions remain about the long-term viability of the WFH model, the pandemic has prompted some businesses to reconsider the necessity of having physical working spaces, raising questions over the fate of the office in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employees might not want to return to pre-covid norms: <\/strong>Some 80% of people surveyed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/organization\/our-insights\/reimagining-the-office-and-work-life-after-covid-19\">McKinsey<\/a> indicated that they enjoy working from home while 41% said they have been more productive than before. A separate survey conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/siepr.stanford.edu\/research\/publications\/how-working-home-works-out\">Stanford University<\/a> in May found that 55% of US workers wanted some mix of home and office work, if only to spare them the stress of a daily commute, while only a quarter of people polled by <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/311375\/reviewing-remote-work-covid.aspx\">Gallup<\/a> said they wanted to return to the office post-covid. There\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/nbloom.people.stanford.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/sbiybj4746\/f\/wfh.pdf\">data from well before<\/a> the outbreak of covid-19 that suggests there are productivity gains to be seen in partial WFH schedules, often for simply providing a quiet environment for workers to focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some companies are reviewing their need for office space:<\/strong> In June, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/ratings\/en\/research\/articles\/200609-covid-19-accelerates-structural-shifts-in-global-office-real-estate-and-reits-11521088\">S&P Global<\/a> said it expected the crisis to cause a structural shift in demand for office space, causing a gradual decline as some companies make covid-era contingency measures permanent. The WFH trend, it said, \u201ccould ultimately erode tenants' demand for traditional office space and dampen overall occupancy and rent levels.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-results-realestate-idUSKCN24N2NL\">A number of large firms in the US<\/a> plan to cut back on office space in the coming year, and almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-54461218\">three-quarters of financial services companies<\/a> in the UK are considering doing the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The situation in Europe is slightly different<\/strong>, where new lease agreements with several major companies haven\u2019t been disrupted by the pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/europe-lease-deals-suggest-traditional-office-will-endure-in-post-covid-world-11592913601\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a> reports. \u201cThe demise of the office is exaggerated,\u201d said Jack Pringle, director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for architectural firm Perkins & Will, who suggested that business will struggle to attract top talent offering WFH.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But rather than abandon offices completely, most are likely to adopt a hybrid model:<\/strong> Even with widespread vaccination efforts on the horizon it seems likely a hybrid model will become the course of action for most businesses for the foreseeable future. There are still some perks to having in person interactions, especially for collaborative projects and team building, but meetups may become more selective in the future, rather than the norm. Businesses will tailor their schedules differently over the coming period depending on their particular needs, but for a lot of places it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/briefing\/2020\/09\/12\/covid-19-has-forced-a-radical-shift-in-working-habits\">has become clear<\/a> that a lot of work can be done remotely and workers are often happier doing it that way.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/pandemic\/\">pandemic<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/work\/\">Work<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"568490\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"568490\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">THE DE-GLOBAL ECONOMY<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/12\/31\/deglobalization-after-covid-19\/\">\r\n                            Deglobalization after covid-19                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/12\/31\/deglobalization-after-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The report also found that trade activity has rebounded more quickly than expected since the spring, reaching only 3-4% lower than its pre-covid levels. While this could be a temporary phenomenon due to restocking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.hsbc.com\/navigator\/report?pid=HBEU:GY:2139:GLB:XEG:COP:1120:001:NAV20_CP:\">HSBC expects<\/a> global trade to rebound in 2021, with some adjustments to supply chains as companies look to hedge against future risks by expanding to multiple bases and sourcing more of their materials locally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For emerging markets like Egypt<\/strong>, a deglobalized economy could impose serious limitations on growth, particularly for industries that are heavily reliant on imported materials. The global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/09\/convergence-threatened-by-deglobalization-covid19\/\">export to GDP ratio<\/a> had already been declining, falling 5% from the global financial crisis in 2008 to 2020, and indicating a regression in trade-linked growth. This could inflict a heavy blow on developing economies playing catch up with their Western counterparts by relying on export-led growth. On the other hand, AUC\u2019s Sherif Kamel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mei.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-10\/Rethinking%20Egypt%27s%20Economy.pdf\">writes<\/a> that deglobalization could present an opening for Egypt\u2019s manufacturing industries as regional businesses look for suppliers that are closer to end markets, allowing Egypt to act as a gateway to Africa and to entrench itself more firmly in regional supply chains.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/china\/\">China<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/deglobalization\/\">deglobalization<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/the-de-global-economy\/\">THE DE-GLOBAL ECONOMY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"568492\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"568492\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/12\/31\/568492\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-568492\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-568492 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p class=\"web-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2020\/3\/Wealth-Enterprise-April-Issue-1600px.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"enterprise\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>CIB now fits in your pocket <\/strong>to help you manage all your financial needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CIB is advising all its customers to stay at home whenever possible<\/strong>, to help slow the spread of covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>In these unusual times, <strong>the safety and wellbeing of our customers is our top priority.<\/strong> <strong>Our mobile banking app makes it easy<\/strong> for you to manage all your banking needs from the comfort and safety of your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobile banking is the easiest and most convenient way <\/strong>to conduct all your banking transactions.

and hardest-hit industries by the pandemic has been travel.<\/strong> As worldwide lockdowns grounded business and leisure travellers alike, the sector may be undergoing permanent changes as people rethink flight safety, business travel, and their holiday destinations of choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We might need an immunity passport to travel:<\/strong> The future role of \u201cimmunity passports\u201d \u2014 a certificate proving that you\u2019ve been vaccinated against the coronavirus \u2014 may well become a necessity for future travellers. The airline industry, decimated by the pandemic, has become a vocal supporter of the idea. The industry\u2019s global trade association, the International Air Transport Association, is working to introduce a similar sort of scheme dubbed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/en\/programs\/passenger\/travel-pass\/\">Travel Pass Initiative<\/a>, which would enable governments to share testing and vaccination information and travellers to use an app to verify they have been tested and vaccinated against the virus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For now it remains unclear how widely adopted immunity passports will become.<\/strong> The World Health Organization has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2020\/12\/11\/do-we-need-coronavirus-vaccine-passports-to-get-the-world-moving-again-euronews-asks-the-e\">delivered confusing messaging<\/a> on the subject, saying they won\u2019t be recommending them while collaborating with countries such as Estonia to set up their own program. Airlines will no doubt require them regardless of departure point and destination while rights groups have raised issues over data privacy, and called for providers to build protection into the technologies. It is also likely that the market will fragment as the IATA and others join travel health app <a href=\"https:\/\/commonpass.org\/\">CommonPass<\/a>, a pioneer in the field that displays whether users have tested negative for covid-19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The future of business travel is up in the air:<\/strong> If nothing else, the pandemic has taught professionals the expediency of a video conference over a long-haul flight for business meetings. While the chiefs of major airlines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-covid-pandemic-could-cut-business-travel-by-36permanently-11606830490?mod=hp_lead_pos10\">optimistically claim<\/a> international business travel will return to normal, other prognosticators like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/11\/17\/coronavirus-bill-gates-says-more-than-50percent-of-business-travel-will-disappear-long-term.html\">Bill Gates<\/a> say nearly half of it will remain a thing of the past. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-covid-pandemic-could-cut-business-travel-by-36permanently-11606830490?mod=hp_lead_pos10\">WSJ analysis with industry experts<\/a> suggests anywhere between 19-36% of air travel simply won\u2019t be coming back. Business travel has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/travel-logistics-and-transport-infrastructure\/our-insights\/for-corporate-travel-a-long-recovery-ahead\">history of slower recovery<\/a> than leisure travel after economic downturns, with regional travel and in-person client meetings returning first. Unfortunately, fares for corporate travel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-covid-pandemic-could-cut-business-travel-by-36permanently-11606830490?mod=hp_lead_pos10\">subsidize leisure travel<\/a>, so the pain felt by one will impact the other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Staycations could be here to stay:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisismoney.co.uk\/money\/holidays\/article-8806139\/What-does-future-travel-look-like-pandemic.html\">Booking firms<\/a> are already adjusting to a new reality where holidaymakers are less likely to look to far-flung corners of the world for their holidays in favor of destinations closer to home. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tamarathiessen\/2020\/05\/07\/post-coronavirus-most-americans-want-to-travel-at-home\/?sh=470aa1b55546\">Most people in the US<\/a> are opting for vacations at home, holiday booking sites in the UK have seen a surge in searches for domestic destinations, and the Australian hospitality industry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2020-10-19\/tasmanian-tourism-operators-make-most-of-covid-19-opportunities\/12779602\">has received plenty of new business<\/a> from locals forced to cancel overseas holidays. Some are turning to local wellness trips and engagement with local communities, and purposeful skill learning during time off is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2020\/10\/22\/staycations-and-sustainability-projects-how-luxury-travel-is-changing\">on the rise<\/a>, and the environmental consciousness of these efforts is an added bonus.

The use of digital payments and remittance transfers, digital savings, deposits and lending, and so-called InsurTech have all surged this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbs.cam.ac.uk\/faculty-research\/centres\/alternative-finance\/publications\/2020-global-covid-19-fintech-regulatory-rapid-assessment-study\">a survey<\/a> of regulators by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and the World Bank. The poll of almost 1.4k fintech firms in 169 countries showed digital payments volumes increased by an average 13% and wealth management services up 11%. The Middle East saw the strongest growth, up 40% on average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pandemic might have been what was needed for Egypt\u2019s financial inclusion plans as Egyptians became much more fond of everything electronic.<\/strong> In Egypt, policymakers have been pushing for financial inclusion for several years, and the pandemic seems to have given their initiative a shot in the arm. The number of mobile wallets in Egypt <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/59863ee4-eef6-4b7f-9026-052fd6d8536b\">jumped<\/a> at least 17% between March and October, CIB saw <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/81bc11b1-602f-4daa-8921-19bd0ff333ce\">a 100% y-o-y increase<\/a> in the number of internet and mobile banking transactions in a single month, and the number of Egyptians shopping online <a href=\"https:\/\/nilefm.com\/digest\/article\/5743\/egyptians-increasingly-turn-to-e-commerce-to-avoid-crowds-\">broke records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regulators around the emerging world moved fintech higher on their agendas:<\/strong> Nearly two-thirds of EM regulators now view fintech as a priority, and over half of the advanced world\u2019s policymakers say the pandemic has provided further impetus to the pre-covid trend towards digital payments, the study found. More than three-quarters of central banks in emerging markets (81%) and 70% of banks in advanced economies see it as positive for advancing financial inclusion objectives. On the flipside, the growth of fintech is likely to invite a lot more scrutiny from policymakers concerned about its potential to facilitate money laundering and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is covid accelerating the push towards national digital currencies? <\/strong>Since the pandemic, we\u2019ve also heard of at least three plans to accelerate the launch of national digital currencies.

More than 1.5 bn children lost out on valuable teaching time as schools closed, forcing education leaders and teachers to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/news\/beyond-disruption-digital-learning-during-covid-19-pandemic\">get creative<\/a> with new technologies, and governments to accelerate investment in digital infrastructure to keep curriculums on track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s not just the medium that may change:<\/strong> We\u2019ve written a lot this year about how technology may make brick-and-mortar schools less essential to the learning process (see the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/archive-wealth\/back-school-pandemic-edition\/\">October Your Wealth<\/a> issue, for instance). But the pandemic may also encourage other fundamental changes to the education system, more indirectly influenced by technology.<\/p>\n<p>Sami Nassar, a professor at the National Egyptian E-Learning University, says the crisis only makes it more important for policymakers to shake up the subjects we teach to our children. Speaking during <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/sites\/default\/files\/synthesis_report_future_of_education_webnair_1.pdf\">a UN event (pdf)<\/a>, he called on Arab governments to place far greater emphasis on digital literacy and teaching advanced technological skills that will be vital to the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teachers may face an identity crisis: <\/strong>Rising technology also means teachers will need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/03\/4-ways-covid-19-education-future-generations\/\">rethink their roles as educators<\/a> as more students than ever access knowledge with a click of the button. Instead, teachers will need to teach children skills to navigate the huge amount of information they meet through skills such as critical thinking, debating, and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There could be many left behind in a future of digital learning: <\/strong>Remote education requires things that may not be readily available in many families: access to a machine and suitable supervision, preferably in a quiet, undisrupted place. Technology <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/feduc.2020.00082\/full\">is not equally distributed<\/a> on a global or local scale and in many domestic situations parents might not be able to afford staying at home with their children. Although 2020 has seen a significant expansion of edtech in Africa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cgdev.org\/blog\/why-covid-crisis-not-edtechs-moment-africa\">only 19 mn<\/a> of the continent\u2019s 450 mn children are actually using it, and the majority of these are watching TV shows. In Egypt, only <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/cbf2013d-1302-44d3-b23d-c85312ebcafc\">around 8 mn people<\/a> are subscribed to ADSL services out of a population of 100+ mn and many children in rural areas don\u2019t have access to a laptop or tablet to attend lectures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The silver lining:<\/strong> An increasing digital divide could put pressure on policymakers to increase spending on education, providing rural communities the digital infrastructure they need to access remote learning resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s not forget the benefits of the classroom:<\/strong> Positives of distance learning aside, children are losing out on valuable social experiences that they would get in a physical classroom. Face-to-face interactions influence a child\u2019s performance, morale, and productivity and sitting in front of a screen all day for education and leisure could have a negative impact on their development. <strong>\u201c<\/strong>Distance learning can never fully replace the physical classrooms. Schools are much more than places for learning. They provide social networks, safety and well-being for children and youth,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/news\/beyond-disruption-digital-learning-during-covid-19-pandemic\">says Finland\u2019s education Minister Li Andersson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The classroom isn\u2019t about to become a relic of the past: <\/strong>This goes to show that, while technology may provide better pedagogical tools and easier access to information, it\u2019s hard to imagine that schools will face an existential crisis any time soon. Rather, most of us are likely to settle into a new reality of blended learning, with technology playing a greater supplementary role to in-class learning.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/education\/\">Education<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ict\/\">ICT<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/infrastructure\/\">infrastructure<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/technology\/\">technology<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"568500\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"568500\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">HEALTH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/12\/31\/covid-helped-get-healthcare-out-of-hospitals\/\">\r\n                            Covid helped get healthcare out of hospitals                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/12\/31\/covid-helped-get-healthcare-out-of-hospitals\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

McKinsey research shows that telehealth providers have seen patients increase 50-175x in the US since the beginning of the pandemic, potentially leading to USD 250 bn of revenues in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artificial intelligence, point-of-care diagnostics, and wearable biometric monitoring:<\/strong> These core technologies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/custom-media\/a-vision-of-healthcare-in-a-post-covid-19-world\/\">will help<\/a> transport healthcare outside of the hospital, make it more affordable, and pave the way for faster detection. AI will help to democratize medical care by using large amounts of patient data and best-practice evidence to guide diagnosis and treatment. Point of care diagnostics using biochips or other technologies facilitate better disease diagnosis, monitoring, and management, reducing costs and accelerating access to appropriate treatments. And wearable biometric monitoring devices will allow patients and medical providers to remotely monitor their medical status, allowing for safe medical care at home or in other decentralized care sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s talk Egypt: <\/strong>Covid-19 has shown that changing societal, environmental, demographic, and technological patterns are straining global health systems capacity and running the risk that they become unfit, Egyptian doctor Mohamed Kamel writes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/20905068.2020.1789391?needAccess=true&\">Alexandria Journal of Medicine<\/a>. Kamel says that integrating more digital technologies such as telehealth, mobile apps, sensors, and rehabilitative robotics into the country\u2019s healthcare system will be critical in addressing health challenges coming out of the pandemic. The use of technology is just a part of a large-scale plan by Kamel to overhaul the country\u2019s healthcare system, which would see more financing, an end to market fragmentation, and a rethink of how medical staff are taught and trained.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ai\/\">AI<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/health\/\">health<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/telehealth\/\">telehealth<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":568485,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-568484","wealth","type-wealth","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"5819bd24-4ca8-4222-90e6-43f1bdc700ff","teaser":"","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2020\/12\/527.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
