A five-layer architecture for continuous care
Careverse integrates body-area sensing, ultra-wideband communication, spectral encoding, free space optical transport, and distributed intelligence into a unified infrastructure platform purpose-built for persistent physiological monitoring.
Five integrated layers, one continuous system
Each layer is purpose-designed to solve a specific constraint in traditional healthcare monitoring. Together, they form a complete care infrastructure platform.
Sensing Layer
Wearable or on-body sensor nodes capture physiological parameters including cardiac signals, temperature, neural activity, and movement. Sensors operate at minimal transmission power to reduce RF exposure in clinical environments.
- Multi-parameter physiological capture
- Low-power operation for safety
- Wearable and body-proximal form factors
- Simultaneous multi-node deployment

Local Communication Layer
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication enables precise short-range data transmission between sensing nodes and control units. UWB signals are inherently resistant to electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for dense medical equipment environments.

Hybrid UWB-optical communication for healthcare
The core architectural innovation of Careverse lies in the integration of Ultra-Wideband sensing with Free Space Optical communication. This hybrid approach resolves the fundamental tension in healthcare monitoring: the need for high-bandwidth, secure data transport in environments where traditional RF communication introduces interference and safety concerns.
UWB provides precise, low-power local communication between body-area sensors and control nodes. Optical links then transport aggregated data streams at high bandwidth with inherent physical security — the signal cannot be intercepted without physical line-of-sight access. This is structural security, derived from the physics of optical transmission rather than software encryption alone.
Spectral amplitude coding enables multiple data channels to be transmitted simultaneously without cross-interference, supporting scalable multi-patient monitoring environments. The result is an infrastructure that delivers high throughput, reduced electromagnetic interference, enhanced transmission security, lower energy exposure, and scalability — capabilities that traditional monitoring architectures cannot achieve within their existing constraints.
Infrastructure-grade capabilities
These are architectural properties of the platform — not feature additions to existing systems.
High Throughput
Optical communication supports data rates that exceed traditional wireless channels, enabling rich physiological data streams from multiple simultaneous patients.
Reduced EMI
Hybrid architecture minimizes electromagnetic interference in dense clinical environments where RF congestion affects equipment operation and patient safety.
Structural Security
Optical transmission requires physical line-of-sight for interception. Multi-channel encoding adds further transmission confidentiality at the physical layer.
Lower Energy Exposure
Low-power UWB sensing combined with optical transport reduces cumulative electromagnetic exposure for patients in continuous monitoring scenarios.
Multi-Patient Scalability
Spectral coding enables parallel data channels without interference. Infrastructure scales to monitor multiple patients simultaneously within a single deployment.
Facility Integration
Optical links deploy efficiently across healthcare facilities. The architecture integrates with existing clinical infrastructure rather than requiring wholesale replacement.
Designed for clinical environment integration
Careverse operates as an infrastructure layer that integrates with existing healthcare systems and workflows. The platform is designed to complement existing clinical technology — not to replace established systems wholesale.
- Facility-scale optical network deployment
- Compatible with existing monitoring workflows
- Modular sensor node configuration
- Standards-aligned data output formats
- Scalable from single-ward to multi-facility deployment
