Recently, in the list of "5G+ medical and health application pilot projects" published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, "Intelligent Health Management and Application of Chronic Diseases Based on 5G Technology" led by Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Hospital and presided over by Professor Guo Zhiping ranks among them. How does 5G technology help residents manage chronic diseases? What kind of magic is it?
Looking forward to the future, chronic disease management is more intelligent.
With the improvement of medical technology and people's awareness of health management, the overall health level of the people has been greatly improved. However, chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoporosis are still important factors that threaten people's health and bring heavy economic burden to society and families.
"At this stage, the pathogenesis of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoporosis is complicated and there are many influencing factors. The effective target mechanism of clinical therapeutic drugs is not clear, and there is no effective means of prevention, diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, the number of patients with chronic diseases in China has been rising in recent years, but its control rate is still at a low level, far lower than that of western developed countries. " Guo Zhiping said that various factors show that adopting intelligent means is undoubtedly of great significance for improving the effect of chronic disease prevention and health management, and improving the level and efficiency of health management.
The chronic disease intelligent health management project based on 5G, that is, using the collection and transmission capabilities of 5G and intelligent hardware, as well as the supporting capabilities of data management platform, plays a role that some traditional methods cannot achieve in intelligent monitoring, data transmission, remote diagnosis and treatment, remote interaction and early intervention, making chronic disease management smarter and more accurate.
Real-time monitoring, knowing your physical condition like the back of your hand.
Have you ever imagined that in the near future, drinking a glass of water can help measure body temperature, and wearing a T-shirt can monitor blood pressure and heartbeat in real time? This is the "magical effect" of the current 5G-enabled smart medical care, and it is also imported from the possible arrival of dreams.
In the project of "Intelligent Health Management and Application of Chronic Diseases Based on 5G Technology", the intelligent devices used for data acquisition mainly include non-contact biological radar devices, ring smart wearable devices and continuous blood pressure detectors. These smart devices transmit the collected data to the data acquisition platform through the 5G network, which is convenient for doctors to monitor in real time and grasp the patient's physical condition at any time.
"Human vital signs include breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen and body temperature. Real-time monitoring and dynamic changes of physical sign data are of great significance for disease diagnosis and evaluation of disease evolution. " Guo Zhiping said.
Non-contact biological radar detection technology combines radar technology and biomedical engineering technology, and can penetrate non-metallic media (brick walls, clothes, etc. ) and detect vital signs (breathing, heart rate, blood flow, intestinal peristalsis, etc. ) without any electrodes or sensors touching the human body. The farthest distance from the human body can reach about 7 meters.
The radar-based vital signs monitor is the perfect combination of radar technology and medical detection technology, which enables the radar to make corresponding detection responses according to different reflected signals of human respiration and body movement, thus realizing the detection of body position, fall, breathing, sleep, apnea and other indicators.
Intelligent wearable devices include continuous monitoring devices for blood oxygen, heart rate, respiration, ECG, continuous core body temperature, continuous blood pressure, sleep and other vital signs. Among them, continuous blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring, continuous core body temperature monitoring and continuous blood pressure monitoring adopt the most advanced biosensor detection technology and medical data analysis detection algorithm at home and abroad, which improves many defects and comfort problems existing in traditional detection methods, effectively improves the monitoring compliance of patients, and also improves the accuracy of detection indicators and the convenience of medical staff.
In addition, the ring pulse oximeter used in this system is as small and light as a common ring, comfortable to wear, very suitable for long-term wear and continuous monitoring of blood oxygen and heart rate, which does not affect sleep and is not easy to fall off during monitoring, and can walk around the room at will.
The invention has the advantages of miniaturized design, comfortable wearing, low power consumption, high precision and multifunction.
From point to area, health management has broad prospects.
The ultimate goal of the pilot project "Intelligent Health Management and Application of Chronic Diseases Based on 5G Technology" is to establish a new health management model, explore new health management methods and provide new health management services.
Guo Zhiping said that the health management process of chronic diseases is a continuous, long-term, cyclical and always running process. Limited by geographical location, the number of medical staff and other resources, it is difficult for large medical institutions to effectively manage this group. "In the context of the country's promotion of graded diagnosis and treatment, it is a new model of health management to use the superior expert resources and clinical and scientific research capabilities of higher-level hospitals to assist grassroots community medical institutions to undertake the daily management of chronic diseases by means of informationization and intelligence, and at the same time cooperate with third-party institutions to provide users with more professional services."
At the same time, at present, the health examination in domestic hospitals can not fully meet the needs of long-term, continuous and real-time collection, induction and analysis of health risk data related to target objects. With the advent of the intelligent era represented by 5G and artificial intelligence, the new solution of "5G+ smart wearable device+intelligent health management" can help our health management to be more systematic, intelligent and accurate, and the user experience to be more convenient.
It is worth mentioning that in the pilot project scheme declared this time, the advanced technologies in many fields, such as intelligent detection equipment, 5G wireless communication, hospital entity+Internet diagnosis and treatment, cloud computing+artificial intelligence, are used to realize real-time continuous health monitoring for sub-healthy people and patients with chronic diseases (hypertension, heart disease, etc.) anytime and anywhere. ) and the elderly, as well as early monitoring, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of chronic diseases, especially for the elderly and special people with mobility difficulties.
"Based on these smart devices, the health information management platform can establish lifelong dynamic electronic health records for patients. Through the close cooperation between online and offline and the personal service of family doctors, it provides people with integrated services such as monitoring, consultation, improvement, diagnosis and treatment, and consumption, which has broader promotion prospects. " Guo Zhiping said.
