Avnet’s SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway is Powered by Raspberry Pi

Late in 2021, Avnet introduced their SmartEdge Industrial Internet of Things Gateway, which is powered byRaspberry Pi. This gateway has best-in-class pricing and offers a level of simplicity accessibility and capability that can only come from the unique features of a Raspberry Pi-based solution. The SmartEdge is based on the Raspberry Pi’s Broadcom BCM2837 SoC, a 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 that delivers better performance along with power efficiency.

The VEGA-300 Series is Built for AI at the Edge

Advantech’s VEGA-300 series AI acceleration modules are built for AI at the Edge. They provide highly efficient add-on modules in different form factors including M.2, mini PCIe and PCIex4. They can be easily integrated into existing systems. The integration is seamless and will simultaneously reduce CPU workload. The Edge AI Suite software allows users to quickly enable AI inference on edge devices.

Next Generation Innovation SmartingPro Portable EEG uses Bluetooth 5.0

M Brain Train, a research team from Serbia has developed next-generation innovation with the Smarting series of Electroencephalograph devices, that are portable, and can be used indoors, outdoors, or for hyperscanning. The applications for this range of devices are home care, outpatient, ambulatory care, experimentation in psychiatric or neuroscience research or as a teaching tool.

The Development of the Internet of Medical Things

The world of technology is rapidly moving into places that have been up until now labeled in a kind of catch-all phraseology. Take the Internet of Things (IoT), for instance, up until now the term IoT meant all types of connected devices. Now there is Industrial IoT (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), and now the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the network of interconnected medical devices, hardware infrastructure, and software applications used in the information technology of healthcare.

Sometimes this interconnected ecosystem had been referred to as the IoT in Healthcare. IoMT allows wireless and remote devices to communicate in a secure setting over the internet, in order to allow for the rapid and flexible analysis of medical data, usually from a patient to a medical facility. According to the latest market data, IoMT is a major factor in market development, in the healthcare markets. Deloitte's recent survey on the healthcare market reported that IoMT is expected to grow from $41 billion in 2017 to $158 billion this year (2022).

IoMT is focused on specific healthcare and medical applications. There is a wide range of applications in this market sector, in-home, on-body, community, in-hospital, and many research areas. There are still some unique regulatory, technical, privacy, and legal challenges because of the wide-ranging number of stakeholders involved in the ecosystem. There is no denying, IoMT is here to stay, irreversible and undeniable.
