How edge computing can benefit digital care solutions

The amount and type of data generated by sensors and other intelligent devices in technology-enabled care solutions call for a high level of reliability and low latency. By using edge computing in care solutions, solution providers can lower data latency and optimize communication processes.

What is edge computing?

Edge computing is a method of processing and storing data locally on a gateway and thereby closer to the device from which it is gathered. As a result, application support and speed are accelerated as the data do not need to travel to a cloud for computing.

Uninterrupted real-time data

Edge computing is especially beneficial for care solutions where having real-time data is crucial. Avoiding latency issues is essential, as they can affect the reaction time in case of emergencies. A solution running on edge computing can make sure a call for help is delivered to the emergency contact instantly – instead of waiting for the signal to travel to the cloud and back.

An extra privacy layer

Integrating an edge computing gateway into a home care solution provides it with an extra layer of security and privacy. Filtering and processing data locally can reduce the amount of sensitive information that needs to be sent through the network. This makes edge computing an invaluable feature for all solutions that deal with private customer data, such as home care systems.

Cost-effective and sustainable

Integrating edge computing in your home care solution saves bandwidth and reduces the costs for cloud services and data transmissions. At the same time, as fewer data travel to and from the cloud, the load on the communication networks and CO2 emissions are reduced.

To ensure that solution providers get the best data environment for their technology-enabled care solution, Develco Products offers edge computing gateways. The Squid.link gateways are white label products, and they enable the launch of a secure, high-quality care solution based on edge computing in a short time.
