TY - JOUR AU - Dr. Syeda Farhath Begum AU - Sannnella Prabhaker AU - Athira Pradeep K PY - 2026 DA - 2026/01/11 TI - Analyzing the Role of Edge Computing in Enhancing AI Applications in Healthcare JO - Global Journal of Engineering Innovations and Interdisciplinary Research VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - This research investigates the role of edge computing in enhancing artificial intelligence (AI) applications within the healthcare sector. By comparing edge computing to traditional cloud computing, the study focuses on key performance metrics such as latency, bandwidth consumption, data privacy, real-time processing efficiency, storage costs, and response time for critical alerts. The results demonstrate that edge computing significantly reduces latency and bandwidth usage while improving data security and real-time processing capabilities, making it a superior choice for AI-powered healthcare applications such as diagnostics, predictive analytics, personalized medicine, and remote patient monitoring. The findings highlight the potential of edge computing to address the growing demands of AI in healthcare by providing more efficient, secure, and responsive solutions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency in healthcare environments.
