What is 5G+ healthcare?
5G+Medicine, relying on fifth-generation mobile communication technology, makes full use of limited medical, human and equipment resources, gives full play to the advantages of medical technology in large hospitals, and at the same time provides informationization, mobility and telemedicine services in the areas of diagnosis, care and treatment of illnesses, creates new intelligent medical business applications, saves the operating cost of hospitals, facilitates the decline of medical resources **** enjoyment, and improves the efficiency and diagnostic level of medical care, relieving patients from having to visit a doctor, and improving medical care. efficiency and diagnostic level, alleviate the problem of patients' difficulty in seeing a doctor, and assist in promoting proper poverty alleviation in remote areas.
Simply put, 5G+medical is to utilize the advantages of 5G network technology to form a more effective medical data and information network, and to carry out a more reasonable allocation of medical resources. With the support of 5G technology, doctors can more effectively perform remote diagnosis, remote diagnosis, remote surgery and other operations. Medical data such as electronic medical records and vital signs are also mined in depth, which can help doctors make better decisions.

The support of the technical framework is the foundation for the realization of 5G+ healthcare
The entire 5G+ healthcare technical framework is divided into four parts, namely the terminal layer, the network layer, the platform layer, and the application layer, which ****together complete the processes of information acquisition, information transmission, information processing, and information application.
The terminal layer realizes continuous, comprehensive and rapid information acquisition. The collection and display of information is carried out through intelligent terminals (such as robots, smart phones, medical equipment, industrial hardware, etc.) such as sensing devices, clothing, and sensors.
The network layer realizes real-time, reliable and secure information transmission. Through independent networks or ****-enjoyment networks assigned to different application scenarios, information transmission between communication subjects is realized with real-time, high-speed, highly reliable and ultra-low waiting time, fully reflecting the advantages of 5G.
The platform layer realizes intelligent, accurate and efficient information processing. Using new technologies such as cloud computing, MEC, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc., it realizes the storage, computing, and analysis of information, and outputs valuable information to cutting-edge applications.
The application layer realizes mature, diversified, and humanized information applications. For example, wireless medical monitoring and care applications, medical diagnosis and guidance applications, remote operation applications, etc., which are also the concentrated expression of 5G value.
Breaking information barriers and realizing medical health
The high speed of the 5G network can support 4K/8K long-distance high-definition rounds and high-speed transmission and **** enjoyment of medical image data, and experts can conduct consultations at any time. By constructing a high-definition, delay-free, long-distance ultrasound system, the excellent diagnostic capabilities of high-quality hospital experts can be fully utilized. Utilizing medical robots and high-definition video interaction systems, remote specialists can perform timely remote surgeries on patients in primary care facilities. In the early stages of the epidemic, telemedicine and mobile healthcare with new 5G Internet technologies were highly emphasized and supported during the construction of Vulcan Mountain and Thunder Mountain hospitals. Due to the enhancement of 5G technology, the two hospitals transcended geographic boundaries in the fastest possible time, realizing the rapid on-line centralization of medical resources across the country.
Not only that, by covering the 5G signal, the medical staff in the emergency vehicle can communicate with the experts in the hospital in real time, so that the doctors can clearly see the physical state of the patients in the emergency vehicle. At the same time, the patient's electrocardiogram, gas and blood saturation and other vital signs data can also be transmitted to the emergency center in real time, enabling efficient and accurate remote diagnosis. As a result, the survival and recovery rates of emergency patients increase dramatically. Utilizing 5G technology, health management terminals connect hospitals, communities, homes, and other venues to collect health information data from users across multiple channels. Based on this data, doctors can use AI and other intelligent analysis to understand the health needs of the patient group, providing a valuable basis for unified medical services, allowing more patients to participate, thus making personal health management more efficient.
In short, the 5G era is "breaking through the wind and waves", bringing more diverse scenarios to healthcare, and continuing to improve the level of informatization and intelligence in the healthcare industry. 5G+Healthcare has evolved from a "treatment-centric" to a "patient-centric" approach. 5G + health care from "treatment-centered" to "patient-centered" health care reform practice reflects, in a faster, more geographically rich at the same time, will certainly bring a better experience and gospel to more patients.
