Though it looks like an ordinary ambulance, it has many more functions than the ordinary one backed by 5G.

The screen in the Control Center of Chonggang General Hospital displays the basic information, vital signs and real-time videos of emergency patients. Being equipped with high-definition cameras and a voice communication system, the whole system can also plan the route for the ambulance. It helps realize specialist doctors’ telemedicine consultations in the Control Center.

As Deputy Director of the Emergency Department of Chonggang General Hospital, Zhao Zigang said that this ambulance allows the staff in the emergency center to know the patient’s condition in advance and give professional guidance to the personnel on the vehicle. By virtue of the ambulance, doctors can also quickly develop rescue plans or make preoperative preparations in advance.

Chongqing’s mobile 5G expert Yang Yudong introduced that, with 5G network featuring high broadband, low latency, and high reliability, the real-time multi-channel high-definition video transmission can be realized in the ambulance, and the medical images, signs, disease records and other information of patients can be transmitted back to the hospital’s emergency center synchronously without damage.

The departure of this 5G+emergency ambulance opens a new chapter in the field of smart medical care in Chongqing while speeding up emergency treatments. At the press conference, China Mobile’s Chongqing Branch and Chonggang General Hospital signed the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement on 5G Smart Hospital Construction. Starting with the construction of smart hospitals, the two sides will actively explore and promote the application of 5G, big data, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies in the medical industry.
