Overview
Project-CARE is a smart Emergency Room triage and decision-support system built on a distributed edge-to-cloud hybrid architecture. It keeps triage running even when connectivity drops — targeting 100% uptime for the moments that matter most.

The Problem
ER triage tools that depend entirely on the cloud fail exactly when they are needed: during network outages or surges. Lives depend on the system staying available locally.
Architecture
- Edge tier — on-prem inference and triage logic that continues to function fully offline.
- Cloud tier — aggregation, model updates, and cross-site analytics.
- Hybrid sync — edge nodes reconcile with the cloud opportunistically, so no data is lost during partitions.
Tech Stack
- AI/ML triage models
- Edge devices (IoT) + cloud backend
- Resilient, partition-tolerant sync
Highlights
- Demonstrated continuous triage through simulated network failures.
- Decision support that ranks incoming patients by acuity in real time.
