With the arrival of the 5G era, health management, medical treatment, post-surgical recovery and other medical fields have been inserted into the intelligent wings, so that patients can enjoy faster and more accurate medical services.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced a list of pilot projects for 5G+ medical and healthcare applications, and the "intelligent health management and application of chronic diseases based on 5G technology" led by Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Disease Hospital and presided over by Prof. Guo Zhiping was among them. "How does 5G technology help residents with chronic disease health management? What kind of magic does it have?
The gateway to smarter chronic disease management
With the improvement of medical technology and the enhancement of people's awareness of health management, the overall health level of the nation has been greatly improved. However, chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and osteoporosis are still an important threat to people's health, and have brought a heavy economic burden to society and families.
"At this stage, the pathogenesis of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoporosis is complex, with a large number of influencing factors, and the effective target mechanism of clinical therapeutic drugs is unclear, with a lack of effective preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic means. At the same time, in recent years, the number of chronic diseases in China has been rising, but its control rate is still at a low level, much lower than in Western developed countries." Guo Zhiping said, all factors indicate that the use of intelligent means to improve the effectiveness of chronic disease prevention and health management, health management level and efficiency undoubtedly has an important significance.
5G-based chronic disease intelligent health management project, that is, through the use of 5G and intelligent hardware collection and transmission capabilities, as well as the support capabilities of the data management platform, in the intelligent monitoring, data transmission, remote diagnosis and treatment, remote interaction, early intervention and so on to play a number of roles in the traditional methods can not be realized, so that the management of chronic disease is more intelligent, more accurate.
Real-time monitoring of the body's condition
Do you envision a time in the near future when a glass of water will help you measure your body temperature, and a T-shirt will allow you to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate in real time?
This is the first time that 5G has been used in the world's most popular mobile phone market, and it is the first time that 5G has been used in the world's most popular mobile phone market.
The "intelligent health management and application of chronic disease based on 5G technology" project, the data collection of smart devices are mainly non-contact bio-radar devices, ring-type smart wearable devices, continuous blood pressure detector. These smart devices will be collected data, through the 5G network, transmitted to the data aggregation platform, to facilitate real-time monitoring of doctors, at any time to grasp the patient's physical condition.
"Human vital signs contain five items: respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen and body temperature, real-time monitoring of the physical signs data and the dynamic changes, for the diagnosis of the disease as well as the evolution of the condition assessment is of great significance." Guo Zhiping said.
Non-contact bio-radar detection technology integration radar technology, biomedical engineering technology in one, does not require any electrode or sensor contact with the human body can be realized at a certain distance apart, penetrate non-metallic media (brick walls, clothing, etc.), detection of life signals (respiration, heart rate, blood flow, intestinal peristalsis, etc.). The furthest distance from the human body can be up to about 7 meters.
Radar-based vital signs monitor is the perfect combination of radar technology and medical detection technology, so that the radar can be based on the detection of the human body occurs breathing and body movement of different reflection signals, to make the appropriate detection response, so as to realize the position, falls, breathing, sleep, apnea and other indicators of detection.
Intelligent wearable devices include continuous blood oxygen, heart rate, breathing, electrocardiogram, continuous core body temperature, continuous blood pressure, sleep and many other vital signs continuous monitoring equipment, including continuous blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring, continuous core body temperature monitoring, continuous blood pressure monitoring, etc. The most leading domestic and foreign biosensor detection technology and medical data analysis detection algorithms, improved the traditional means of detection there are many defects and comfort problems.
In addition, this system uses a ring-shaped pulse oximeter, which is as small and lightweight as an ordinary ring, comfortable to wear, ideal for long-time wear and continuous monitoring of oximetry and heart rate, does not interfere with sleep and is not easy to fall off, and can be used to walk around the room at will, among other advantages.
The continuous pulse oximeter in the form of a ring has the advantages of miniaturized design, comfortable to wear, low power consumption, high precision, and multi-functionality.
Bringing the point to the surface, health management has a bright future
Bringing the point to the surface, and from there to the other side, the pilot project of "intelligent health management and application of chronic disease based on 5G technology" is ultimately aimed at establishing a new model of health management, exploring new methods of health management, and providing new services of health management.
Guo Zhiping said, chronic disease health management process, is a continuous, long-term, cyclical, always through the process, large medical institutions are limited to geographic location, the number of medical staff and other resource constraints, it is difficult to do this part of the group for effective management. "In the context of the national advocacy of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, the use of superior hospitals' advantageous expert resources, clinical and scientific research capabilities, the use of information technology, intelligent means to assist the grassroots community medical institutions to assume the daily management of chronic disease groups, while joining forces with third-party organizations to provide more specialized services for users, is a new model of health management.
At the same time, the company is also able to offer a wide range of services to the community.
At the same time, the current domestic hospital health checkups can not fully address the needs of long-term, continuous, real-time collection, generalization and analysis of health risk data related to the target object, with the arrival of the intelligent era represented by 5G and artificial intelligence, through the "5G + smart wearable devices + intelligent health management
With the advent of the intelligent era represented by 5G and AI, the new solution of "5G+Smart Wearable Device+Intelligent Health Management" can help our health management to be more systematic, intelligent and precise, and the user experience more convenient.
It is worth mentioning that, in this declared pilot project program, the use of intelligent testing equipment, 5G wireless communications, hospital entities + Internet diagnosis and treatment, cloud computing + artificial intelligence and many other areas of cutting-edge technology for sub-healthy populations, patients with chronic diseases (hypertension, heart disease, etc.), the elderly group to achieve anytime, anywhere, real-time continuous health monitoring, early monitoring of chronic diseases, early It is very important for the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases, especially for the elderly and special populations with limited mobility to carry out long-term and effective disease monitoring and care in the community.
"Based on these smart devices, the health information management platform can establish a lifelong dynamic electronic health file for patients, and through the close collaboration of online and offline and the personal service of family doctors, it will provide people with monitoring, counseling, improvement, diagnosis, treatment, consumption, and other whole-process integrated services, which has a broader promotion prospect. " Guo Zhiping said.
