CareBand Secures Patent for Edge-Computing Wearable Platform

CareBand has been awarded a U.S. patent for its edge-computing wearable platform, which processes health and safety data locally over low-power networks, according to a press release.

CareBand has secured a U.S. patent for its innovative edge-computing wearable platform, as announced in a press release. The patent, numbered 12,290,339, covers an architecture that uses edge processors, neural accelerators, and LPWAN radios to convert raw sensor data into actionable insights without relying on power-intensive cloud connections.

The patented system features a dual-chip design that pairs a machine learning inference engine with a sub-GHz LPWAN microcontroller. This setup allows the device to transmit only high-value events such as falls, wander risks, and hazardous gas spikes, making it suitable for applications in dementia care, lone-worker safety, and industrial hazard alerts.

CareBand's platform is compatible with multiple low-power wide-area network protocols, including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox, Amazon Sidewalk, and satellite LPWAN. This compatibility ensures that the device can operate efficiently in various environments, providing continuous monitoring with extended battery life.
