PCB Tech - PCB board factory 5G medical application scenarios

With the arrival of the official commercialization of 5G and the full integration and application of cutting-edge technologies such as big data, Internet+, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, 5G healthcare is increasingly showing strong influence and vitality, which is important for the advancement of the deepening of medicine and healthcare. Institutional reforms, accelerating the construction of a "healthy China" and promoting the development of the medical and health industry have played an important supporting role.

So, how will 5G change the medical industry? The editor of the PCB factory below will take you to take a look at the application of 5G healthcare in subdivision fields.

1. Remote consultation

China has a vast territory and uneven distribution of medical resources. It is difficult for residents in rural or remote areas to obtain timely and high-quality medical services.

Traditional remote consultation uses wired connection for video communication, which has high construction and maintenance costs and poor mobility.

The high-speed characteristics of the 5G network can support 4K/8K remote high-definition consultations and high-speed transmission and sharing of medical image data, and allow experts to conduct consultations anytime and anywhere, improve diagnosis accuracy and guidance efficiency, and promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources.

2. Remote ultrasound

Compared with CT, magnetic resonance and other technologies, the ultrasound examination method largely depends on the doctor’s scanning technique. A probe is similar to the doctor’s eyes during ultrasound examination. Different doctors adjust the scanning of the probe according to their own technique habits. Orientation, select the scanning section to diagnose the patient, the final examination result will also have a corresponding deviation.

Since grassroots hospitals often lack excellent ultrasound doctors, it is necessary to establish a remote ultrasound system that can achieve high-definition and no delay, give full play to the high-quality diagnosis capabilities of high-quality hospital experts, achieve cross-regional and cross-hospital business guidance, quality control, and guarantee subordinates The standardization and rationality of the methods used in the ultrasound work in the hospital.

Remote ultrasound is controlled by remote experts to perform ultrasound examinations on patients in primary hospitals. It can be used in hospitals at lower and lower levels of the medical consortium, as well as counterpart assistance in remote areas to improve primary medical service capabilities.

The millisecond-level delay characteristics of 5G will be able to support superior doctors to control the robotic arm to carry out remote ultrasound examinations in real time.

Compared with traditional dedicated lines and WiFi, 5G networks can solve the difficulty and high cost of dedicated lines in remote areas such as grassroots hospitals and islands, as well as the insecure WiFi data transmission in hospitals and the high latency of remote control.

3. Remote surgery

Using medical robots and high-definition audio and video interactive systems, remote experts can perform timely remote surgical treatment of patients in primary medical institutions.

The 5G network can simplify the complicated wired and WiFi network environment in the operating room, and reduce the difficulty of network access and construction costs.

Using 5G network slicing technology, it is possible to quickly establish a dedicated communication channel between upper and lower hospitals, effectively ensuring the stability, real-time and safety of remote surgery, allowing experts to control the process of surgery and patient conditions anytime and anywhere, and achieve precise remote surgery control across regions And guidance is of great significance to reduce the cost of patients' medical treatment and help the sinking of high-quality medical resources.

Not only that, in special environments such as war zones and epidemic areas, the use of 5G networks can quickly build the communication environment required for remote surgery and improve the emergency service capabilities of medical staff.

4. Emergency rescue

At present, the development of emergency medicine in China is still in its infancy and the development of rural and urban areas is extremely unbalanced. Many areas need to be improved. The structure of emergency medical personnel and insufficient equipment are still serious. In the case of a doctor, the patient’s vital signs and critical alarm information can be transmitted to the remote expert side through the wireless network, and remote guidance from the expert can be obtained. It is essential to save the patient’s life, and remote monitoring can also enable the hospital to be the first time Grasp the patient's condition, formulate first aid plans and prepare resources in advance, and realize the seamless connection between pre-hospital first aid and in-hospital treatment.

Real-time transmission of medical equipment monitoring information, real-time vehicle positioning information, and video images inside and outside the vehicle through the 5G network is convenient for remote consultation and remote guidance. The collection, processing, storage, transmission, and sharing of pre-hospital emergency information can fully improve the efficiency of management and treatment. Improve service quality, optimize service processes and service models. Based on big data technology, the value of medical information data can be fully excavated and used, and applied, evaluated, and assisted in decision-making, serving for emergency management and decision-making.

5. Remote teaching

Medical education refers to education and training for medical and health technicians. Users include medical, nursing, and medical technicians. Continuing medical education is mainly divided into conference lectures, case discussions, technical operation demonstrations, training seminars, papers and results publications, etc., which can be organized offline or remotely conducted online. Distance medical education and training mainly include three product forms: a teaching platform based on audio and video conferencing systems, a teaching platform based on usage scenarios, and a teaching platform based on VR/AR equipment.

The AR/VR-based virtual teaching platform uses AR/VR glasses and other wearable devices as the carrier, combined with 3D digital models for teaching and training. Compared with traditional methods, the educated is more immersive, has more interactive content, and is relatively used The cost is lower.

5G Surgery Demonstration refers to the teaching and training of hospital surgery-related cases in the form of live broadcast, recording and broadcasting, mainly for medical technicians in general surgery, anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, and neurosurgery related departments in hospitals, aiming to improve surgery related departments Case experience and practical level of medical staff.

6. Remote monitoring

Remote monitoring is a kind of remote monitoring that uses wireless communication technology to assist medical monitoring, realizes real-time, continuous and long-term monitoring of patient vital signs, and transmits the acquired vital sign data and critical alarm information to medical staff through wireless communication. form.
