IoT, Edge Computing, and Digitalization in Healthcare

The digitization of healthcare is accelerating, driven by AI and empowered by Edge Computing. Rising IoT adoption and exploding health data volumes are enhancing efficiency and patient experiences while cutting costs. Meanwhile, privacy concerns and stricter regulations are shifting focus from cloud to Edge Computing, enabling faster, safer, and more reliable healthcare solutions.

What is an Edge Database, and why do you need one?

Edge Databases are a new type of database rising to the needs of the decentralized Edge Computing topology. They deliver specific feature sets making it easy for application developers to implement edge solutions quickly and successfully without being detered or even stopped by fundamental functionalities like fast local data persistence and decentralized data flows (Data Sync).

Why do we need Edge Computing for a sustainable future?

Centralized data centers consume a lot of energy, produce a lot of carbon emissions and cause significant electronic waste. While data centers are seeing a positive trend towards using green energy, an even more sustainable approach (alongside so-called “green data centers” [1]) is to cut unnecessary cloud traffic, central computation and storage as much as possible by shifting computation to the edge. Ideally, Edge Computing strategies use efficient technologies like ObjectBox to harness the power of already deployed available devices (like e.g. smartphones, machines, desktops, gateways), making the solution even more sustainable.

Green Coding: Developing Sustainable Software for a Greener Future

Every line of code – scaled up to hundreds, thousands, or even millions of devices (desktops, smartphones, tablets…) worldwide – has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Digitization helps to save CO₂ – many experts agree on that. But things are not that simple, because the creation of software and its use contribute to greenhouse gas emissions too.
All code creates a carbon footprint. Software development and use affect the environment from the energy consumed while running to the associated electronic device waste. Choosing a sustainable architecture matters, but developers also can make a difference with green coding, creating envrionmentally sustainable software. And those that build developer tools can help even more so.

Why database performance creates business value

* database speed is the key to compute more data faster and make data -based decisions speedily
* database speed translates into ressource efficiency – saving ressources (like battery, CPU, memory) saves money and reduces waste 
* database speed affects end user response rates significantly – smooth and fast user experiences keep people happy and more productive

What is Edge Computing?

Today, over 90 percent of enterprise data is sent to the cloud. In the next years, this number will drop to just 25 percent according to Gartner. The rest of the data is not going anywhere. It is being stored and used locally, on the device it was created on - e.g....
