than costly storage in a traditional data centre, healthcare professionals and manufacturers will have the information they need immediately to hand. On the healthcare side, a doctormay need to assess symptoms against the patients’ history and compare with previous treatments, and manufacturers may need to alter the production process to eliminate a single ingredient that the patient is allergic to. In both examples, the data must be available at a moment’s notice to be able to provide a treatment rapidly. There are still ongoing discussions about the best way to make use of
this large data set with ‘smart data’, using artificial intelligence to assess data and extract meaningful information. But even if this is the future of personalised medicine, it will still require high amounts of computing power, making it a perfect placement for Edge Computing.
For healthcare providers and medicine manufacturers to effectively offer personalised medicine, there has to be a level of data-sharing. This always comes as a big worry for companies as healthcare data is strictly protected, and companies that don’t adhere to GDPR regulations will face huge fines of up to 20 million or 4% of worldwide turnover for the preceding financial year – whichever is higher. Edge Computing again offers a solution here by having the computing
power, either in the manufacturing facility or in the office of the healthcare provider, to keep critical data secured and stored locally. Never being sent to the cloud or data centre, all data sharing will be between two secure locations, reducing the attack plane for hacking. The right deployment also enables ‘Always On’ availability which is critical
for securing data from cyber threats and dreaded data loss. Achieving this high level of cyber protection can ease the worries on healthcare providers and manufacturers, leading to more effective personalised medicine that can be delivered quickly. Moreover, there are a multitude of benefits that Edge Computing can provide to manufacturers of pharmaceuticals.
Personalised medicine is the future of healthcare, not only for patients, but for the extended benefits to manufacturers and the NHS. The main stumbling block to making this possible is the proper collection, storage and analysis of data that is always available and always protected. Edge Computing is a key stepping stone to providing personalised medicine
because vital data sets are more inherently secure. Having the right computing infrastructure is a vital first step for the healthcare industry to start really exploring the full potential of personalised medicine as they seek a scalable solution – and Edge Computing is exceptionally well placed to deliver the flexible, reliable and secure platform it needs. Stratus Technologies provides best-in-class Edge Computing platforms for
