Summary

The document describes a healthcare panel discussion from the ConnectONLINE developer conference, focusing on how Couchbase Lite and Sync Gateway are utilized in edge computing to enhance patient care in remote areas. The panel featured representatives from Molo17, Binary Bridge (BackpackEMR), and Arthrex, who discussed their innovative use of Couchbase technology for healthcare solutions. A hypothetical scenario involving a hiker with broken legs on a remote mountain illustrated the applications' capabilities. Molo17's Zulu.E facilitates communication between first responders and hospitals, capturing vital data even without internet connectivity. BackpackEMR provides offline data synchronization in mobile clinics, ensuring seamless patient care. Arthrex's surgical devices use Couchbase Lite for data storage and synchronization, enabling efficient surgical procedures. These examples demonstrate how Couchbase's edge computing solutions improve healthcare delivery by ensuring data availability and privacy, regardless of connectivity, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
