Promoting digital transformation in waste collection service and waste recycling in Moscow (Russia): Applying a circular economy paradigm to mitigate climate change impacts on the environment

Digital transformation of health quality services in the healthcare industry during disruption and society 5.0 era

“…According to Klinker et al ( 9 ), Marques and Ferreira ( 10 ), Maiurova et al ( 2 ), Pappas et al ( 3 ), Ricciardi et al ( 4 ), and Tortorella et al ( 1 ), big data combines very large amounts of information and various formats, namely from the use of social media, e-commerce, online transactions, financial transactions, as well as identifying trends and business patterns in the future. According to Maiurova et al ( 2 ), Pappas et al ( 3 ), Ricciardi et al ( 4 ), and Tortorella et al ( 1 ), in the healthcare industry, big data can provide several advantages, including lower medical error rates, facilitating preventive healthcare, and more accurate predictions for recruiting human resources (e.g., by helping hospitals and clinics predict an increase in the number of patients over a given period of time). Hermes et al ( 11 ) thereby helping management decide to increase the number of staff at that time.…”

“…Existing medical devices include heart rate detectors, exercise trackers, sweat discharge measuring devices, tools to measure blood sugar levels, and oxygen levels. According to Filgueiras et al ( 12 ), Maiurova et al ( 2 ), Pappas et al ( 3 ), Ricciardi et al ( 4 ), and Tortorella et al ( 1 ), big information gathered from big data and other sources (such as social media) can help companies to develop health recommendation services to patients. This is what is called predictive health care, where we can now predict what diseases and disorders may become epidemic in the future.…”

“…According to Maiurova et al ( 2 ), Pappas et al ( 3 ), Ricciardi et al ( 4 ), and Tortorella et al ( 1 ), in addition to telemedicine, several other health technologies in the industrial era 4.0 that have been developed and utilized by various service facilities include artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT (internet of things), and robotic services. Many health companies view technology not only as an infrastructure but also as a strategic asset.…”

“…According to Maiurova et al ( 2 ), Pappas et al ( 3 ), Ricciardi et al ( 4 ), and Tortorella et al ( 1 ), the use of health technology among consumers also opens up opportunities for patients and their families, so that it is easier to get information and understanding about diseases, treatment options, and to easily access and choose hospitals or health facilities that suit their needs. By realizing the benefits of this digital transformation, more and more companies operating in the health sector, including hospitals, are taking the initiative to adopt this digital transformation into their management systems to produce better quality health services.…”

Role of digitalization in environment, social and governance, and sustainability: Review-based study for implications

“…Concerning the environmental impact of digitalization, Maiurova et al (2022) analyzed two cities in Germany (Berlin and Moscow) and claimed that digitalization is a revolutionary factor in reduced municipal solid wastes and greenhouse gas emissions, conservation of raw material, employment generation, and enhances the efficiency of energy and machinery. Where the existing literature reveals that traditional fossil fuel consumption is directly linked to enhanced emissions ( Abumunshar et al, 2020 ).…”
