[Explanation] The development of 5G communication technology has provided the possibility of remote diagnosis and treatment.
Recently, a reporter from China News Agency visited the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital of Fudan University to learn about the current application of 5G medical care.
The low-latency and high-reliability transmission of 5G provides a guarantee for the hospital's real-time communication.
In the Eye ENT Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, digital naked eye 3D slit lamp is making remote ophthalmology consultation possible. The naked eye 3D image from Yongping People’s Hospital in Yunnan is transmitted in real time via 5G and presented on the local naked eye 3D slit lamp system. Synchronous reproduction of real 3D scenes realizes remote consultation; another set of remote swivel chair control system and nystagmus makes BPPV remote diagnosis a reality.
BPPV is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, also known as otolithic vertigo.

Through this eye mask, we collect the information of the nystagmus during the patient's examination on the spot when the posture changes, and then transmit it to the operation interface of the diagnosis and treatment information platform through remote transmission to analyze and diagnose the image.
Then the patient will be diagnosed with otolithiasis, and precise reduction techniques will be formulated for the subsequent treatment to improve the treatment effect.
[Explanation] Guo Ping, the attending physician of the Otorhinolaryngology Department of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, said that this ophthalmia requires professional vertigo to judge, so this telemedicine greatly eases how to solve the problem in the absence of relevant professional doctors. The problem of this kind of common disease.
This has greatly improved the efficiency of remote consultations between primary health centers and central hospitals in relatively remote areas.

When the doctor does not have enough experience to interpret the characteristics of nystagmus, it is difficult to give a correct judgment. In this case, we can carry out a remote image acquisition through 5G transmission signal, and then a professional doctor can perform diagnosis and treatment in the background and give the correct one. Diagnosis, strategies and treatment methods.

After all, in some remote areas, his own medical diagnosis and treatment capabilities are still relatively low, so suddenly after such a high-speed train is connected, I can see both ends at the same time, and it is a naked-eye 3D display. This 5G can be said to allow us to really plug in "wings."
Generally speaking, we are still exploring and exploring, but I hope that more patients can benefit from it in the future.
[Explanation] Zhou Xingtao, Dean of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, introduced that although 5G technology has begun to be used in the medical field, its development needs to be enhanced in terms of remote hardware equipment, doctors’ habits, and patient awareness. And adapt.
Now everyone is not very familiar with telemedicine, and scenario applications need to be promoted together.
[Concurrent] Zhou Xingtao, Dean of the Affiliated Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University
In the application scenario of 5G in smart medical care, we should actively establish such a scenario and actively apply it under such a scenario.
In this way, the needs of patients can be guaranteed in a timely manner, and more importantly, in the course of practice, there will be more and more such scenarios.
