The Hidden Risks of Assuming Everything’s Fine
It had been a quiet week. No calls, no alerts, no texts about prescriptions or appointments. Just the kind of silence that usually feels like everything is okay. By Sunday evening, you finally reach your mom. She answers on the second ring, her voice calm but a little...
The Hidden Risks of Assuming Everything’s Fine
In caregiving, silence often feels comforting — a sign that everything is fine. But as more older adults live alone and families grow farther apart, “no news” can hide early signs of decline. Small shifts in daily movement, routine, or energy happen quietly between calls and visits, long before a crisis becomes visible. This blog explores why the “no news is good news” belief persists, why it can be risky, and how gentle, continuous awareness can offer families peace of mind and seniors greater safety without sacrificing independence.

How Does WiFi Motion Compute Its Data: Edge vs. Cloud Computing?
With over 30 billion IoT devices expected by 2025 and over 120 zettabytes of data generated annually, edge and cloud computing are crucial for managing data efficiently. Real-time processing needs in autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and AI advancements highlight their importance. Edge computing reduces latency by processing data closer to its source, essential for 5G networks and applications like Wi-Fi Sensing. ISPs must balance edge and cloud strategies to optimize efficiency and address cost concerns. Cognitive’s WiFi Motion demonstrates this by running motion detection on the edge. This article explores the distinctions between edge and cloud computing, Cognitive's approach, and considerations for ISPs in the IoT era.
