When it comes to the digitization of the healthcare system, the first German hospitals are relying on their own 5G mobile networks. After the University Clinic in Bonn at the end of 2020 and a Helios Hospital in Leipzig this summer, the Düsseldorf University Clinic is now also tackling its own network in the mobile communications standard. When it comes into operation today, NRW Minister of Economic Affairs Andreas Pinkwart (FDP) and Vodafone Germany boss Hannes Ametsreiter are expected - then clinicians and digital experts want to explain the advantages of the radio standard for the health care system.
Düsseldorf - The 5th generation of mobile communications (5G) is intended to enable hospitals to transmit large data sets from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRT) so that doctors from other departments can receive information quickly and treatment can continue without interruptions or waiting times.
Networked “augmented reality” glasses for operations should also be easy to use thanks to 5G and improve the display of virtual body parts.
The radio standard should enable smooth and stable transmissions.
