FN Media Group Presents Oilprice.com Market Commentary
LONDON, Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The mega-industries of energy, healthcare, and digital advertising aren't just ripe for disruption … they're already being shaken to the core by tech advancements that were thought impossible just a short while ago. Mentioned in today's commentary includes: Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Zoom Video Communications Inc (NASDAQ:ZM), Trade Desk Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD), Quantumscape (NYSE:QS).
For the energy industry, solid state batteries could change everything. And it's not a moonshot, anymore. These are the next-gen saviors of the battery industry, and by extension, the entire EV segment.
Billions of dollars are pouring into advanced technology that is no longer in the realm of pure imagination. It's being commercialized as we speak, and the auto industry's giants are piling in. And the healthcare industry, broken and severely challenged as it has been, isn't just being disrupted--it's being digitally rewritten. Telemedicine was soaring even before the pandemic. Now it's explosive.
Continued advances in digital technology, imaging, gene editing (no longer fiction), and AI are threatening to completely sideline annual doctor visits, according to the Wall Street Journal. Your next doctor might end up being an AI brain that thinks like thousands of doctors at once.
In 2020 alone, wellness apps were downloaded 1.2 billion times. Beyond that, the market for big data analytics in healthcare could be worth up to $68 billion by 2025. The tech stocks behind that will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the era.
The Battery Revolution
Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) has been an exciting stock for early-in investors to own, but it's built on a foundation that makes every bit of sense in today's EV battery market.
Li-ion batteries come with a suite of clear disadvantages, including capacity, peak charge deterioration over time, overheating, and the necessity for serious cooling systems. That's not to mention their penchant for exploding or catching on fire if damaged or compromised.
Because of that, the holy grail for EV makers is now the solid-state battery, which uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid or polymer, and can deliver two to 10 times the energy density of lithium-ion. They're more powerful, without consuming the extra space. And they should be able to charge faster.
BIg Auto is all over this, with the latest headlining news being Toyota's (NYSE:TM) $13.6 billion investment commitment into the space. But betting on Toyota isn't going to land an investor any massive rewards … betting on a smaller company focused solely on solid state could.
That's QuantumScape, the California-based development-stage company that is working towards the commercialization of solid-state lithium-metal batteries for EVs and other applications (think: energy storage).
Artificial Intelligence: The Next Frontier In Medicine
American healthcare is broken, and digital offerings are a major element of the fix, but the North American based Treatment.com International Inc. (TRUE; TREIF) takes things quite a few steps further with its answer to big tech for healthcare, with the most sophisticated Global Library of Medicine AI platform that thinks like a doctor because it's been trained by hundreds of them, from all over the world.
The AI is "Cara", the brains behind Treatment's Cara Health mobile app that provides consumers with symptom checks, personalized health assessments, and full-on healthcare and wellness management from actual doctors--without stepping into an office … and without paying a dime. This is the AI bridge that connects wellness, telemedicine, pharma, and health products all in one place. It even lets users manage healthcare for their entire family.
Cara asks you questions about your symptoms and then sorts through millions of pieces of information that include historical medical cases, demographic data, and advances in medical knowledge. The end result is a more accurate recommendation than any other digital tool in the world. And it can all be integrated with Apple Health Kit, Apple Watch, and FitBit.
Cara's AI has been so effective, in fact, that the University of Minnesota Medical School licensed it to test medical students. And, yes, the basic app is free. But there are impressive revenue streams for Treatment.com here.
In the world of mobile apps, once the upfront costs of development and AI learning are paid for, it's all revenue, all the time. The company anticipates that consumers will pay for recommendations through premium app subscriptions and a series of upcoming plugins for everything from dermatology specialty segments, to cardiology.
There are three revenue-generating avenues here: corporate licenses, health and wellness products, and university medical school training. But the biggest value here is that Cara is a goldmine of data … Cara's access to health trends can help insurance providers and governments to provide better health services. And the market for big data analytics in healthcare could be worth an astounding $68 billion by 2025.
Treatment.com (TRUE; TREIF) was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange on April 19th, 2021. Right now, it's valued at around $170 million. That could soon change: It's not on major radar just yet, but when it launches on the market in late November, it could prove highly disruptive.
Why? Consider this: WebMD is valued at $2.8 billion right now. Demand for its services is soaring. Yet, it doesn't even have AI and functions largely as a glorified search engine with no medical support. This is what healthcare consumers want … and right now, Cara is the only sophisticated AI that can give it to them.
With the majority of Americans completely overwhelmed by a healthcare system that is impossible to navigate, we think this launch will ping some very serious radar not just because it's meeting a very clear and soaring demand and has its own medical library with a sophisticated, doctor-trained AI that the company plans to scale up to ~10,000 disease diagnoses known to man …But also because it will have access to a healthcare data goldmine that everyone in the industry will want to get its hands on, massive growth runways, and proprietary IP that could become worth billions.
Transforming The Digital Advertisement Industry
This isn't just about social media anymore. By far the fastest-growing segment of the digital advertising industry is "programmatic advertising", which promises to put ads directly in front of consumers using high-speed computers and the ultimate in algorithmic science. And Trade Desk Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) is experiencing a major growth spurt right now. Trade Desk helps advertisers buy digital ads across publishers in an advertising world that has gotten overwhelmingly big.
This stock has already been one of huge rewards for investors who have stuck with it long enough. Since it went public in 2016, investors could have seen gains as high as 4,000% on this one. It isn't likely to give new investors the same kind of return, but market sentiment and basic company fundamentals suggest it still has room to run.
Bonus: The Tech That's Changing Everything
Zoom Video Communications Inc (NASDAQ:ZM) dramatic rise to popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the growing need for video communications in not only the workplace, but also in the healthcare sector. By keeping people connected without going into the office, Zoom may have just contributed to helping slow the spread of COVID-19. And it didn't stop there.
Zoom Video Communications has continued its pursuit of keeping the world safe and sound by partnering with healthcare practices. One, in particular, Pike Creek Psychological Center, has used Zoom to consolidate telehealth, phone and chat using zoom. Judi Willetts, Ph.D., the center's co-director highlighting some of its own issues, including connectivity issues, limited functionality with other programs, and more. "Zoom could solve the telehealth problem, plus three other problems that hadn't even gotten on to my agenda, and I realized it was comparable, price-wise. I thought it was nothing short of a miracle," Willetts said.
While many might overlook Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a major player in the world of healthcare, its iWatch and associated applications are invaluable tools in monitoring individuals' health. It is innovations like these that will help shape the future of medicine, and in turn help humanity live healthier, happier lives.
From its efforts to increase access to COVID-19 vaccinations to its Fitness+ app, Apple Inc. is making waves in the future of health. In fact, just recently, the company announced that it will be expanding Apple Fitness+ services to include a number of new workouts, group sessions and even meditation features. "We are excited to be introducing new workouts that bring Fitness+ users more options to stay active and motivated, plus immersive guided Meditation experiences that are approachable for all and easy to fit into your day. With new ways to work out together or alone — and coming to more countries later this year — we can't wait to welcome even more people to experience Fitness+."
Like Apple, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), the parent company of Google, is making major waves in the world of health and wellness. From its COVID-19 initiatives to its FitBit product, Google is committed to helping the world live its healthiest life. Perhaps even more importantly, however, it is working on key technology that will help physicians optimize their time and make better choices along the way.
Google's Care Studio is a brand-new software solution that will help doctors digitalize patient records while keeping this important data private and secure. In a note from the company's blog, Google explains, "Care Studio streamlines key clinician workflows so that teams can quickly get the information they need to care for patients. It brings together patient records from the multiple EHRs an organization uses – giving clinicians a centralized view of patient data and the ability to search across these records."
