As India emerges 5th Delivery in select cities, remote areas The role of technology in delivering optimal healthcare cannot be denied and according to cloud majors OracleCountries like India can basically benefit the most on two fronts: super-fast and real-time delivery of telemedicine and ambulance care, especially in remote areas.
According to Mike SiciliaExecutive Vice President at Oracle, nothing is more important than saving lives and creating better outcomes for patients, and 5G is able to help countries like India achieve that.
“I think 5G has an opportunity to open up Telemedicine space in a huge way. The fact that 5G-enabled devices that connect to the cloud goes beyond just doctor-patient video chats like we saw during the pandemic. 5G can help a healthcare provider access a patient’s vital signs and diagnose illness quickly and efficiently,” said Cecilia.
Not just in the telemedicine space, 5G can help hospitals make sense of huge data-sets across multiple machines.
“Having low-latency, high-bandwidth connections to MRI, X-ray and dialysis machines etc. will allow us to move some computing data to the cloud, recalibrate and reload those machines with more instructions to detect different types of diseases like Covid. The machines we have today So what it does can completely change,” he elaborated.
Oracle has doubled down on its healthcare push for millions, and 5G has a key role in achieving that.
Health science capabilities are evolving by enabling new ways of conducting clinical research, including remote data collection, patient monitoring and adopting 5G technology to support clinical trials.
5G networks enable 24/7 monitoring of patients – warning experts of impending episodes, whether low blood sugar, heart attack or other vital signs – requiring proactive intervention.
According to the company, the capabilities of 5G have enabled secure, accurate, rapid data collection between trial participants and pharmaceutical companies.
In India, companies are now building 5G-ready ambulances. Bharti Airtel There are 5G-connected ambulances that can replace primary healthcare in emergency situations.
State-of-the-art 5G ambulances are equipped with advanced medical equipment, patient monitoring applications and telemetry devices that transmit patient health data to the hospital in real time.
Additionally, it is also equipped with onboard cameras, camera-based headgear and ‘body cams’ for paramedic staff — all connected to the ultra-fast and low-latency Airtel 5G network.
According to Oracle, low-latency 5G can enable augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) immersive training, which can also be used to help doctors explain diagnoses and surgeries to patients with 360-degree reconstructions of their anatomy.
According to Sicilia, 5G will facilitate real-time communication between doctor and patient, which is critical without any interruptions.
