In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare IT, delivering robust, secure, and efficient solutions is critical. At deepc, we are not just keeping up with technological advancements—we are redefining the landscape with our deepcOS® platform. A key component of this transformative journey is our adoption of the Rust programming language, a decision driven by our commitment to delivering unparalleled performance, security, and sustainability.
The deepcOS® platform heavily relies on Rust, a programming language renowned for its modern design, innovative capabilities in memory safety and concurrency, and its cost efficiency. This choice gives us a great advantage in the healthcare AI sector, where security and performance are paramount. Here’s why:
Rust’s unique ownership and borrowing system eradicates many common memory management and concurrency issues, while its type system combined with zero-cost abstractions prevents buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences, and data races. Unlike other languages that rely on garbage collection or manual memory management, Rust ensures memory safety at compile time. This not only reduces runtime overhead but also eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities, enhancing the security of our platform.
2. Endorsed by Industry Leaders and Governments
The significance of Rust is underscored by endorsements from key stakeholders such as the White House, NIST, Microsoft (1), Google (2) and AWS. The White House, in its 2024 Technical Report (3), emphasized the critical role of memory-safe programming languages like Rust in improving cybersecurity. Similarly, NIST highlights Rust as a safer alternative for software development (4), while AWS leverages Rust for its exceptional energy efficiency (5).
Performance is a cornerstone of healthcare IT, where real-time processing and analysis can make a life-saving difference. Rust offers performance on par with C, enabling our platform to deliver high-speed computations with minimal energy consumption. This leads to cost savings for our clients and aligns with deepc’s commitment to sustainability. Rust's unique position in the programming language landscape becomes evident when considering its exceptional balance of safety and speed. Unlike other languages that sacrifice performance for safety or vice versa, Rust stands out by offering both without compromise.
Healthcare IT systems face unique challenges:
Rust’s design philosophy addresses these challenges head-on:
