It is said that 5G will change everything, among which 5G medical health is an important application field of 5G technology in medical health industry.
With the arrival of the official commercial use of 5G and the full integration and application of cutting-edge technologies such as big data, internet plus, artificial intelligence and blockchain, 5G medical health is showing more and more powerful influence and vitality, which plays an important supporting role in deepening the reform of medical and health system, accelerating the construction of “Healthy China” and promoting the development of medical and health industry.
So, how will 5G change the medical industry? The following medical PCB factory xiaobian takes everyone to see the application of 5G medical health in the segmentation field.
1. Remote consultation
China has a vast territory and uneven distribution of medical resources, so it is difficult for residents in rural or remote areas to obtain timely and high-quality medical services.
Traditional teleconsultation uses wired connection for video communication, which has high construction and maintenance costs and poor mobility.
The high-speed characteristic of 5G network can support 4K/8K remote high-definition consultation and high-speed transmission and sharing of medical image data, and enable experts to conduct consultation anytime and anywhere, improve the diagnostic accuracy and guidance efficiency, and promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources.
2. Remote ultrasound
Compared with CT, magnetic resonance and other technologies, ultrasonic examination depends on the scanning technique of doctors to a great extent. A probe is similar to the eyes of doctors when doing ultrasonic examination. Different doctors adjust the scanning orientation of the probe according to their own technique habits, and choose the scanning section to diagnose patients, and the final examination results will have corresponding deviations.
Because primary hospitals often lack excellent ultrasound doctors, it is necessary to establish a long-distance ultrasound system that can achieve high-definition and no delay, give full play to the high-quality diagnostic ability of high-quality hospital experts, realize cross-regional and cross-hospital business guidance and quality control, and ensure the standardization and rationality of the ultrasound work in lower-level hospitals.
Remote ultrasound is controlled by remote experts to carry out ultrasound examination on patients in primary hospitals, which can be applied to subordinate hospitals of medical association and counterpart assistance in remote areas to improve the ability of primary medical services.
The 5G millisecond delay characteristic will support the superior doctor to control the robot arm to carry out remote ultrasonic examination in real time.
Compared with traditional dedicated lines and WiFi, 5G network can solve the problems of difficulty and high cost in the construction of dedicated lines in remote areas such as primary hospitals and islands, unsafe WiFi data transmission in hospitals and high delay in remote control.
3. Remote surgery
Using medical robot and high-definition audio-video interactive system, remote experts can perform timely remote surgery treatment for patients in primary medical institutions.
The 5G network can simplify the complex wired and WiFi network environment in the operating room, and reduce the network access difficulty and construction cost.
Using 5G network slicing technology, the exclusive communication channel between superior and subordinate hospitals can be quickly established, which can effectively guarantee the stability, real-time and safety of remote surgery, allow experts to control the operation process and patients’ situation anytime and anywhere, and realize trans-regional remote precise operation control and guidance. It is of great significance to reduce patients’ medical treatment costs and help high-quality medical resources sink.
Not only that, in special environments such as war zones and epidemic areas, the use of 5G network can quickly build the communication environment needed for remote surgery and improve the emergency service capability of medical staff.
4. Emergency rescue
Emergency medicine is a multi-professional comprehensive science that deals with and studies all kinds of acute diseases and acute trauma. It is necessary to take emergency measures for unexpected disasters and diseases that threaten the safety of human life in a short time. Moreover, emergency medicine also needs to study and design on-site rescue, transportation, communication and other issues. Emergency equipment is an important part of emergency medicine.
At present, the development of emergency medicine in China is still in the primary stage, and the development between rural and urban areas is extremely unbalanced. There are many areas to be improved, such as unreasonable structure of emergency medical staff and insufficient equipment allocation. In the absence of specialist or general practitioner on the spot, the patient’s vital signs and critical alarm information can be transmitted to the remote experts through wireless network, and the remote guidance from experts is crucial to save the patient’s life. Moreover, remote monitoring can also enable the hospital to grasp the patient’s condition at the first time, formulate emergency plan and
Real-time transmission of medical equipment monitoring information, vehicle real-time positioning information and video images inside and outside the vehicle through 5G network is convenient for remote consultation and remote guidance. Collecting, processing, storing, transmitting and sharing pre-hospital emergency information can fully improve management and treatment efficiency, improve service quality and optimize service flow and mode. Based on big data technology, the value of medical information data can be fully tapped and utilized, and the application, evaluation and decision-making can be carried out to serve the emergency management and decision-making.
The 5G edge medical cloud can provide safe and reliable medical data transmission, realize information resource sharing and system interconnection, and provide strong technical support for pre-hospital first aid and smart medical care. Xiaobian learned that the 5G intelligent emergency information system includes intelligent emergency cloud platform, vehicle emergency management system, remote emergency consultation guidance system, emergency assistance system and other parts.

5. Remote teaching
Medical education refers to the education and training for medical and health technicians. Users include medical, nursing and medical technicians. Medical continuing education is mainly divided into conference lectures, case discussions, teaching of technical operation, training seminars, publication of papers and achievements, etc., which can be organized offline or conducted remotely online. Distance medical education and training mainly includes three product forms: teaching platform based on audio-video conference system, teaching platform based on usage scenarios and teaching platform based on VR/AR equipment.
The teaching platform based on audio-video conference system is mainly used for teaching and training such as case discussion and case sharing, and its basic functions are audio-video conference system and PPT sharing.
In addition to audio and video equipment, the scene-based teaching platform needs to be connected with corresponding medical equipment in combination with specific scenes, such as cardiac catheterization room surgery teaching, neurosurgery teaching, B-mode super teaching, etc.
