Local Processing: Running Diagnostics Without the Cloud

On-Device Inference

The rise of cloud-computing has created a privacy crisis in healthcare. Most "helpful" health apps act as data vacuums. PillPassport's Local Diagnostics engine is built differently.

On-Device Inference

We leverage WebAssembly (WASM) and device NPUs (Neural Processing Units) to execute diagnostic models. When you visualize a scan or check an EKG, the "thinking" happens locally. There is no central server receiving your biometric signatures.

The Benchmarks

  • Vertex Analysis: Instant geometric auditing of 3D medical meshes.
  • EKG Rhythms: Peak-detection algorithms running at 60fps for real-time BPM calculation.
  • Dermatology Vision: Privacy-locked image analysis for skin health.

By moving the intelligence to the edge, we eliminate the need for third-party cloud trust. In 2026, privacy is computed, not just promised.
