China News Service, Beijing, May 16 (Reporter Li Chun) Lu Qingjun, director of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital Development Office, stated in Beijing on the 15th that the standard research on the application of 5G technology in the medical and health industry may be completed in the second half of this year, and the first draft of the standard will be Submit to the corresponding National Standards Committee.
The "2021 China Telemedicine and Internet Medicine Conference" was held in Beijing on the same day.
At the opening ceremony of the conference, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital Internet Hospital was officially inaugurated and operated.
Lu Qingjun said that the China-Japan Friendship Hospital has begun to explore the application of 5G technology in Internet diagnosis and treatment since 2019. It has now achieved full coverage of the 5G base stations of the three major telecommunications companies in the hospital, and has achieved very good capabilities in telemedicine. .
In particular, 5G's powerful communication capabilities and low-latency capabilities provide convenient conditions for telemedicine transmission of images and real-time high-definition video applications.

In addition, the hospital is also exploring combining 5G with some new technologies, including some training and teaching technologies.
At present, acupuncture technique combining traditional Chinese medicine with acupuncture and western medicine is widely used. Through the real-time diagnosis and transmission of ultrasound images, local acupuncturists are taught how to use this technique.
When the trainees return to the local area to carry out the corresponding technology, they can invite experts to provide online real-time guidance, reducing misoperations and improving the accuracy of treatment.
Lu Qingjun pointed out that only 5G can provide a better solution for related technologies, "because it provides high-definition video above 1080P, and its latency can be reduced to less than 30 milliseconds."
The diagnosis and treatment technology of large hospitals can be taught through this model, "including the ultrasound intervention and endoscopy technology that will be carried out in the future, can all be spread through the use of 5G communication."
The 5G communication network will also improve the patient experience.
For example, Lu Qingjun said that in the 4G era, when inquiring about examination reports such as CT and MRI, the patient would only get one report without the original image.
Because the format size of the original CT image is between 0.5G and 1G, 4G transmission takes a long time.
In the 5G era, patients can obtain real-time original CT images through their mobile phones and store them in their health files, which can be shared with the next doctor during the next visit.

Lu Qingjun also pointed out that exploring the use of 5G communications for Internet medical care also needs to control its quality standards.
When a new technology uses 5G communication, technology matching is required to ensure the stability of the communication and the effectiveness of the delay.
"When we were building platforms in various places, we found that the communication parameters of each hospital were different. So we need a unified industry standard to jointly establish a 5G communication network between hospitals, so as to avoid the short-board effect of wooden barrels. , So that the overall medical quality will not be affected by the decline in communication capabilities at either end." He said.
The China-Japan Friendship Hospital is the organization unit for the application of China's 5G technology in the medical and health industry.
Lu Qingjun said that since its launch last year, the research team has collected 30 large-scale hospital application cases across the country, involving 24 types of applications and more than 80 scenarios, and has been stepping up testing.
On the 15th, the hospital also launched the second batch of case collections. By the end of June this year, some more practical cases will be added.
Lu Qingjun pointed out that behind these cases are technical parameter tests conducted in actual applications, condensing technical standards, and providing relevant data for the next step in writing 5G medical industry hygiene standards.
"This work may be completed in the second half of this year, and a first draft of the standard will be submitted to the corresponding National Standards Committee." (End)
