Blockchain-based startups, like Blockaid, which is a partner of MetaMask, have managed to raise $33 million in October, despite the bear market. According to Messari’s report, the overall funding in the crypto industry has decreased to the levels of 2020, with $2.1 billion collected over 297 deals in the third quarter of 2023. Investors are now more careful when it comes to investing, searching for projects that have tangible real-world applications.

Additionally, Cointelegraph’s VC roundup showcased various projects that raised capital in the same month.

AI Healthcare, AI in Healthcare and AI Technology

AI healthcare is an emerging field that is rapidly gaining traction. AI-powered robots are being used to automate tedious tasks, such as collecting and analyzing data from medical records. AI can also be used to diagnose diseases, predict treatments and improve patient outcomes. Web 3.0 startups are leveraging AI technology to create innovative solutions for healthcare, such as virtual assistants and telemedicine.

Web 3.0 is also known as the Semantic Web, which is a set of technologies that allow machines to understand the meaning of data. This technology is being used to create AI-driven healthcare solutions, such as natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. NLP can be used to understand patient conversations and provide personalized recommendations, while computer vision can be used to detect abnormalities in medical images.
