In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, communities worldwide have been leveraging technology, particularly edge AI, to foster resilience and ensure safety. The Coral team, under the direction of Billy Rutledge, is at the forefront of this movement, advocating for intelligence at the edge to facilitate real-time, privacy-preserving solutions. Innovations like occupancy monitors in Belgium, wearable health devices in India, and hygiene compliance tools in US hospitals demonstrate the practical applications of Coral's technology. Additionally, Coral has partnered with global initiatives like the COVID-19 Detect and Protect Challenge to encourage the development of affordable solutions in developing countries, further supported by reduced prices for Coral products. These efforts aim to empower developers globally to create impactful solutions while maintaining accessibility and affordability in emerging markets.
