Huawei implemented equipment 5G for implementation of remote surgery in hospital of Beijing

On March 16, 2019 in the Chinese hospital of the general PLA profile implantation operation to the patient with Parkinson's disease was performed. On March 25, 2019 reported about it in Huawei. According to the company, it is the China's first remote transaction using standard 5G data networks.

Lin Zhipei, the expert in neurosurgery, successfully performed the most difficult three-hour brain operation to the patient, applying surgical instruments far off with help HD видеотрансляции in real time. Thus, implementation and use of 5G networks can significantly reduce medical costs and has high value for reasonable distribution of highly skilled medical resources, consider in Huawei.

Having the high speed, wide bandwidth and short delay, 5G network can guarantee stability, reliability and security of remote surgery, allowing experts to control process of transaction and a situation with the patient at any time and in any place.

During transaction the experts who are in different points of the country discussed the plan of transaction with the help of a system of video conferences 4K HD from HUAWEI and exchanged state-of-health data of the patient in real time and also information on diagnostics, thanks to wide bandwidth and a low delay of 5G network. And the surgical equipment was controlled remotely using a specialized software that allowed to complete successfully operation, to increase the accuracy of diagnostics and to improve system effectiveness of remote medical consultation.

According to results of the tests which are carried out after deployment of equipment 5G, the speed of network functioning meets all requirements for broadcasting in real time 4K HD of video, the uncompressed radiological image and images of a pathological section without loss that does possible remote ultrasonic and surgical intervention. According to Huawei, such solution is an optimal variant for patients in areas where there are no doctors.
