Unleashing the Potential of Edge Computing for Next-Generation Telehealth Services in Healthcare
The use of telehealth and high-touch clinical visits is on the rise in various sectors, as there is a growing demand for personalized, convenient, and secure experiences. In order to enhance the patient experience, healthcare organizations are utilizing Data Centers worldwide to store, manage, and process vast amounts of information from various systems and entities. Due to the increasing complexity of this data, it is crucial to structure, mine, and analyse it in order to derive valuable insights from health information.
The healthcare sector can overcome its challenges by adopting edge computing, which offers on-demand critical services and real-time data access at a lower cost compared to traditional Data Centers. Moreover, leveraging edge computing can lead to more efficient IT strategies and revolutionize patient interactions.
The advancement of telehealth services will be greatly influenced by the widespread use of IoT, wearables, smart devices, and patient monitoring systems. Local edge computing systems have the capability to store and handle the data generated by these systems, leading to enhancements in Electronic Medical Records (EMR), advanced telemedicine, medication management, digital patient monitoring, and X-ray imaging.
- Healthcare can benefit from integrating low-latency local edge computing systems.
- Real-time data processing and decision-making capabilities of edge computing have aided healthcare providers in responding to the rise of telehealth.
- Solutions such as micro–Data Centers remote monitoring software, and managed service providers can simplify and enhance edge computing management for hospitals.
