Application of 4G communication technology in telemedicine
According to the latest information from Verizon, the largest wireless communications company in the United States, in September 2013, Michigan St. Clair Company developed an advanced telemedicine solution using the 4G LTE network to provide medical staff and emergency rooms with a buffer-free broadband network with two-way live audio and video. . Professional medical video sensors are used to collect on-site videos, allowing doctors in the emergency room to view high-definition video images through the server and remotely assess the patient’s condition. With paramedics relaying important information such as symptoms and vital signs, doctors can magnify injuries, provide diagnoses, develop treatment plans, contact specialist medical staff and book emergency rooms before patients arrive. This real-time, high-quality video communication helps first responders and specialists make informed clinical decisions more quickly, thereby reducing diagnosis time and maximizing patient lives.
Applications in radiology medicine
As part of the computer-supported work project, 4G communications networks can be used to deliver MRI and CT images. The study confirmed that through the bandwidth of the 4G communication network, 13 cervical soft tissue X-rays of epiglottitis or retropharyngeal abscess and 15 Elbow X-rays of joint effusion can be transmitted through a low-cost network. After the best radiology experts and Pediatric emergency physicians read the images and both interpretations were 100% correct.
Applications in home health care
Since 1982, more than 11,000 patients have been cared for by the San Francisco and Washington VA Medical Centers in the United States. When the battery is nearly exhausted, the pacemaker will change its normal operating rhythm, which can be detected from the electrocardiogram. The instrument installed on the phone can transmit the electrocardiogram to the center, which can detect these from a very remote location. Exception question 7. Self-care for diabetic patients, especially self-monitoring of blood sugar, is extremely important for diabetes treatment. The blood glucose monitoring system based on 4G communication network can be used as a primary care assistant for diabetic patients to monitor the patient’s symptoms, blood sugar, diet and medications.
Patients can also talk to the doctor in front of the camera and send the doctor pictures of joint range of motion, thermometer readings or other visual information related to their physical condition. Various instruments installed on home video components can also transmit heart sounds, blood pressure measurements, etc., and combine video with other technologies for home monitoring and consultation. With the development of 4G wireless communications, once subjective symptoms are discovered, a 12-hour continuous electrocardiogram can be transmitted to the center through the 4G network. In many countries, 30,000 people have applied to the system to book this commercial service.
Application in surgery
Telemedicine can help less experienced doctors successfully complete operations, making minimally invasive surgical (such as laparoscopic surgery) technology more widely used. Studies have shown that through 4G wireless communication modules, surgeons with limited experience can perform laparoscopic surgery under the guidance and help of remote surgeons without any complications9. With the widespread coverage of 4G mobile communication networks, the mobile health monitoring system can realize remote and real-time health monitoring of users. Not only can users be informed in time, 3 months before the expiration date. By establishing the work early warning module function, it is convenient for material managers to dynamically manage inventory, saving time and costs while improving personnel work efficiency and effectively reducing material management costs.
