Can AI be used to improve patient experiences? This week, Technology Now explores how AI is being used to streamline data collection in the healthcare industry, how data should be treated to avoid bias in AI, and the benefits this brings to patients. Derek B. Howard, Programme Manager for the HPE Digital Health Foundry Programme, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Derek B.

How do you keep a computer running non-stop?
How do you keep a computer running non-stop? This week Technology Now explores the world of fault tolerant computing. We dive into how fault tolerance works, what industries use it, and why such a useful form of computing isn’t as ubiquitous as we might expect. Casey Taylor, Vice President and General Manager HPE Nonstop Compute tells us more. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Can we build technology today to defend against the threats of tomorrow?
Can we build technology today to defend against the threats of tomorrow? This week, Technology Now concludes a double episode on post quantum cryptography and explores the subject of firmware, why it’s imperative that it be protected against quantum attacks and why a simple update can’t solve every problem. Nigel Edwards, Director of the Security Lab at HPE Labs, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

How are governments reacting to the threat of quantum computers?
Why do quantum computers pose a threat to governments? This week Technology Now starts a two part dive into quantum computing. In this first episode, we ask: how are governments preparing to mitigate the threat posed by a hypothetical quantum computer which could be invented. Ken Rich, Federal CTO at HPE tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Why do sports teams care about technology?
How do sports and technology go hand in hand? This week, Technology Now explores how sports teams use technology both on and off the field. We examine the history of sport analytics, and how technology is utilized to help training, find opponents’ weaknesses, and even discover new talent going forwards.
