ICYMI: ZTE and China Telecom built the first 5G telehealth system for remote diagnosis of the deadly coronavirus – which has infected at least 2,700 people
infected at least 2,700 people and caused at least 80 deaths in the country since the outbreak was first reported in late December.ZTE supplied, installed, and optimized both outdoor and indoor 5G networking and other communications equipment for the West China Hospital of Sichuan University.
The equipment was used to create a reliable indoor 5G network and support remote video consultations. Going forward, ZTE will expand the system to enable remote diagnostics at other area hospitals. Using 5G to connect doctors with patients can mitigate the risks associated with treating deadly diseases without sacrificing the speed and quality of care:
The high-quality, low-latency video enabled by 5G networks allows doctors to get a clear picture of a patient without placing them in harm's way. Patients in rural locations with limited resources can be treated by specialists, providing them access to quality care despite geographic restrictions. This approach also makes it easier for a limited number of expert doctors to treat a large number of patients in diverse locations with minimal travel.
The next-gen network's high bandwidth supports a large number of connections, enabling more patients to seek help simultaneously. The 5G network ZTE is building for the Lei Shen Shan Hospital in Wuhan can allow an estimated Telecoms will play a central role in the fast-growing and lucrative telehealth industry. The global telemedicine market is set to reach over by 2025, up from $38 billion in 2018.
