Recently, ScienceSoft has come up with an AI integrated system that will be helpful in easy surgery of the brain tumors without affecting the other parts of the brain.

Advanced Blockchain

Today, most of the transactions are done through digital means. This has also led to an increase in digital fraud and phishing activities. On the other hand, advanced options such as Blockchain help in safer transactions due to super encrypted data and extremely transparent systems.

Due to the safety and reliability that Blockchain offers, it has been now adopted by a number of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, public sectors, and many others. Also, it has been estimated that the Blockchain Market may reach up to the annual revenue of $20 billion.

The benefits of the Blockchain process are discussed here.

These are website applications that offer the same features and same experience to the users as mobile applications, without even installing them on the phone. The demand for such web apps is on the rise by now due to a number of benefits that they offer.

● The very first benefit is its user-friendly experience. These progressive web apps are known to run much faster than mobile websites pages or even the responsive pages. Also, these pages can show some content while offline and hence it does not crash in the case of a bad server.


● The best thing about these progressive web apps is that they can match up to any screen size and resolution. Thus, the owner does not have to create a website and an app separately. This can help in a huge way in cost-reduction.

Forbes’s PWA page opens up much faster than its actual site. This is because the PWA is a progressive web app and it comfortably opens up on the mobile as well as computer.

Low-code Development

Today, most of the small business houses and start-up companies are making use of low-code development. The method is convenient because the developer just has to drag and drop without creating codes for the application. The method offers a good number of benefits such as:

● Lesser time taken for the development of the applications

One of the best case examples can be noticed by the energy company Schneider Electric. The software developers at the company created 60 new applications in just a time period of 20 months with the help of the low-code development technique.
