This is a great example of what happens when the public and private sectors partner to address homelessness. Together, the City of Reno, ServiceNow, and NewRocket created a new mobile app that helps outreach workers provide critical resources to unhoused individuals in real time. It's a blueprint for cities globally. It's one centralized application connecting disparate systems. It's the power of our platform and AI. It's also the power of goodwill. Thrilled to see this story in the running for SXSW 2025. With your vote, we can see it take the stage - and hopefully, see more cities put AI to work for people. https://lnkd.in/e7V5ZqGa

How can technology best support community health initiatives? With physical inactivity contributing to major health challenges like diabetes, depression, and dementia, we’re exploring how tech like GeoTag can get people moving in a fun, engaging way. GeoTag uses NFC technology to turn outdoor spaces into interactive games, encouraging physical activity through friendly competition and rewards. But we know that tech alone isn’t the solution—it’s how we implement it and who we collaborate with that will make the biggest impact.
