Along with a hospital in Malaga, Telef\u00f3nica has presented on 07\/10\/19 what it claims is the first expert assistance system for medical interventions that runs on 5G.<\/p>\n
As part of the IV Advanced Digestive Endoscopy Conference medical training sessions were broadcast live in 4K quality with \u201calmost no latency,\u201d Telef\u00f3nica says.<\/p>\n
Through augmented reality, essential information was displayed and updated in real-time throughout the operation.<\/p>\n
Katsumi Yamamoto, director of the Endoscopy Centre at Osaka Hospital, was able to collaborate graphically on the screen about how the surgery should proceed with Dr Pedro Ros\u00f3n Rodr\u00edguez, Head of the Digestive System Service of the Quir\u00f3nsalud M\u00e1laga Hospital, who conducted the surgery from M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n
Mercedes Fern\u00e1ndez, Innovation Manager at Telef\u00f3nica, said, “The operations organised at this conference are just an example of the numerous practical applications that 5G can have in healthcare.<\/p>\n
“Thanks to two key features of this technology \u2013 the low latency that allows transmission without delays and the ability to handle large video streams at high speed \u2013 it was possible to perform this intervention with the added value of doing so live and in real-time with the interaction of doctors and attendees to provide solutions and ask questions about the clinical case that was undertaken.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Pedro Ros\u00f3n said, “The experience of previous years in organising innovative training courses in digestive endoscopy allows us this year to provide a global training course thanks to 5G technology, something that might seem science fiction but that we are making reality today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use of 5G and augmented reality is, without doubt, what stands out in comparison with our previous editions and with any other standard medical workshops.<\/p>\n
“We are therefore proud to keep and to continue offering an innovative training space with the live conducting of cases by specialists from Spain and abroad, with an emphasis on theory and reviewing the latest advances in interventional endoscopy.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are now plans for Dr Ros\u00f3n to use the system to advise on an operation being carried out at Poniente Hospital in El Ejido, Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n
At Mobile World Congress in February this year, the first tele-mentored surgery performed was performed over a 5G connection between the Fira Gran Via and Hospital Clinic de Barcelona. A medical expert advised an in-theatre surgeon on a live operation in close to real-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
