If we analyze the trends in artificial intelligence for the coming years, we can say that, in many ways, COVID-19 has functioned as a catalyst for the development of this technology, and it seems that it will continue to do so for some time. This makes the healthcare context one of the main AI performance scenarios, at the same time as big data and information analytics. Before covid19 AI and more specifically the branch related to Machine Learning was already giving a lot to

Covid-19 has caused the acceleration of a series of existing trends, particularly those related to e-commerce, which is constantly growing.

Historically, digital education has often been viewed as the "free version" of traditional education, or the second best option available to low-income com

3D technology has been at the forefront of the fight against Covid-19 and has helped to prevent health collapse. It also shows the potential of 'start up' frequency to innovate in this emerging sector. Faced with the need for medical supplies, 3D printing became an excellent emergency solution, enabling the immediate production of parts that were beginning to run out in hospitals. The initiative focused on respirators first, but technical difficulty and approval issues ended

The Internet of Things has positioned itself as a tool for the future to help citizens face the coronavirus era, we have all adapted to new technologies and discovered their benefits, although there is still a long way to go. As a result, COVID-19 could well have been the consecration of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT market, valued at $ 150 billion in 2019, is expected to reach $ 243 billion in 2021. Telecommuting, chain tracking, contactless payments and even a "Heal

Although we are far from winning the battle, the first countries to face the aftershock of the coronavirus pandemic begin to notice and the positive effects of the measures taken.

The use of technologies such as big data, geolocation or artificial intelligence have made possible the containment of COVID-19, providing useful insights to health organisations and Covid-19 task force teams. On one hand, these technologies are allowing governments and health systems to control the spread of COVID-19 in a fast, secure and safe way. On the other hand, they are allowing to plan the opening of confinement and avoid further contagion thanks to the identification
