Urgent treatment decisions are made at unpredictable times, requiring access to real-time patient data and environmental context to ensure the best outcomes. Erosion of trust in the healthcare system occurs when treatment is not effectively informed by an individual’s personal preferences, medical history, and current situation. Advances in artificial intelligence, ubiquity of wearable devices, and access to low-latency computing resources mean we have the ability to sense and monitor every step of the patient's journey.

 

During the height of the crisis, many individuals found themselves in a transition of care without family and/or friends at their side to inform and influence medical care decisions. Thus, COVID not only highlighted the importance of advance care planning for healthy adults, patients, and their families, but it also heightened medical professionals' expectations for seamless data access to this critical information. Healthcare organizations can unlock the full potential of edge computing to deliver improved patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
