Ribera is incorporated into Lanzadera's new Health Innovation Hub and sets two start-up challenges with Amazon and IBM

The Ribera healthcare group has set their two first technological challenges of Lanzadera's new Health Innovation Hub, aimed at looking for creative, practical and viable startup solutions regarding “remote hospitals”, together with Amazon e IBM, which act as facilitators, providing their technology and knowledge in order to generate solutions with a very wide scope.
 
 
Within this concept of “remote hospital” we can find all of those applications that, using Artificial Intelligence, IoT (The Internet of Things), voice technology or natural language processing, enable improvements to the monitoring of patients and communication with them, without them needing to go to the hospital, as well as the development of predictive models for early diagnosis.
 
Ribera already has experience with applications that take healthcare to where the patient needs it, after developing pilot startup projects in their hospitals, chosen together with Lanzadera in their corporate program. Now, within this Hub, they have gone one step further by having technology facilitators, such as Amazon Alexa and IBM, which will give support to new projects. Furthermore, the technology affiliate of the group, futuRS, has developed predictive models, such as that which warns of Covid patients that may end up in ICU, in order to bring forward decision making and avoid any deterioration.

Google gives a Digital Digital Boost ’for the economic recovery of Spain

The situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the lockdown of the population and the forced closure of businesses, has put many companies in an unprecedented situation. At the same time, staying at home has reinforced the fundamental role that technology plays in our lives, accelerating the trends that we hoped to incorporate in a much longer period of time. However, only 14% of SMBs have a digitization plan. The keys to recovery and to face future challenges are to accelerate a transformation that allows companies to diversify their services, find new sources of income and be prepared for a new normality where digital will be essential. 

For this reason, Google Spain has announced its collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism to launch 'Impulso Digital', a campaign that seeks to support Spanish companies in their digitization, especially SMBs, in addition to promoting national and international tourism and digital training.

The project also includes the "Digital Impulse platform with Google" (link: https://grow.google/intl/es), which brings together free tools, guides and training aimed at the development of companies and professionals on a single website.

This initiative is part of the commitment that Google has announced this July 1 (link: https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/grow-with-google/free-tools-and-training-help-economic-recovery-europe-middle-east-and-africa/)  to help 10 million people and companies to go digital and grow in Europe, the Middle East and Africa over the next 18 months.
