5G Medical Application: Remote Consultation

5G is a rapidly advancing technology that is facilitating the current global development of 5G healthcare applications. By leveraging the ultra-high speed and ultra-low latency characteristics of 5G, smooth 4K video communications and collaboration become possible between doctors and doctors.

Whenever remote surgery consultation is required, high-quality 4K videos live streaming can be delivered via a 5G network connecting panel doctors or specialists from different locations, as if they were in the same operating theatre. 

Time is of essence when it comes to providing high-quality and acute healthcare.  With 5G smart healthcare solutions, healthcare professionals can ensure efficiency and seamless transitions during critical times. In an emergent operation, remote-controlled pre-hospital ultrasound scans can be carried out in an ambulance instructed by clinicians. 5G transmits high-quality videos, images and health data in real-time, allowing accurate pre-diagnoses, proper preparations by A&E (Accident & Emergency) or other hospital staff, and seamless transition of care from paramedics to the doctors in charge. 

5G Medical Application: Remote Training

Medical training is taken to the next level with 5G smart healthcare applications. Supported by 5G’s ultra-low latency, video collaboration solutions become possible by simultaneously supporting multiple high-resolution video streams, including 4K video conferencing, surgical glasses, endoscope and ultrasound inputs. Students and medical trainees can observe surgery operations in real-time from the surgeon’s point of view. They can also be tutored through 4K and 360° live video streaming assisted with AR and VR immersive demonstrations via smart glasses. These facilitate the delivery of unprecedented and virtual learning experiences to large groups of students, or to specialists from different clusters or countries around the world, either in the lecture hall or at medical conferences. It further demonstrates the potential of smart objectives in healthcare to transform medical education.
