Join us for the second panel of RIoT’s online webinar, “Response and Recovery”. This panel is part of our online webinar, “How Technology & Data Combat Pandemics”.
This webinar was created to share a message of hope and progress, as leaders in the tech space convey how the Internet of Things and Data can mitigate the effects of the current COVID-19 crisis and prepare for others in the future.
RIoT has always expressed its belief in technology’s role of promoting economic growth, but now more than ever, we’d like to highlight its role in defending public health. Although living in a modern, connected world has enabled quicker spread of the virus, our modernity can also be our white knight if we start putting our advancements to better use in the public health sector.
In this second panel, hear from these industry experts:
