THE ROLE OF EDGE COMPUTING & IOT WITH PATIENT CARE IN HEALTHCARE

 

With growing technology, Healthcare is benefitting even more withfrom accessing patient’s data. The role of Edge Computing and IoT is transforming Healthcare by personalizing and improving patient’s healthcare. Edge Computing puts workload closer to the location where it’s generated rather than depending on centralized data server. This eliminates the latency and increases the security of data because a health professional will get access to data directly from the server. On the other side, IoT connects different devices like smart watches and fitness trackers to the internet whereby all these devices collect and share real-time health information with doctors.

How Edge Computing and IoT are improving Healthcare:

Real-time Monitoring:

Thorugh the use of IoT, wearable devices like smart watches or fitness trackers monitors’ patients’ heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. Edge Computing helps these devices process data quickly to give immediate feedback. If the device notices anything unusual, it can notify doctors or patients right away.

Reduced Data Delays:

Hospitals use various devices to monitor their patients, such as smart beds and imaging machines. Instead of sending all the data to central server, Edge Computing allows this data to be accessed by the devices on-site. This reduces data delays and delivers timely and accurate information to the Doctors.

Cost Efficiency:

Devices that track health metrics regularly reduces the need for in person health care visits that helps in lower healthcare costs. By accessing data from an onsite server, Edge Computing reduces the cost of data transfers for hospitals and it also helps their systems work more efficiently.

Data Security:

In healthcare, IoT devices continuously collect sensitive data and are connected to the internet. To maintain data security, IoT employs encryption and strong authentication protocols. On the other hand, Edge Computing access data from a local server, thereby reducing the risk of data interception during transmission.

Personalised Healthcare:

IoT devices continuously monitor and collect health data from patients in real time. It helps healthcare providers understand the special health patterns of patients and makes personalized treatment easier. Edge Computing makes this process better by giving data to healthcare providers quickly while keeping data safe, so they can suggest more accurate treatments.

The integration of IoT and Edge Computing has made a big impact on healthcare by simplifying patient data management and improving patient healthcare. These technologies allow real-time monitoring of patient’s health data, reduces latency of data and provides data security, so that healthcare providers can recommend personalized and effective healthcare to patients.
