Now that 5G is available in India, a new age of lightning-fast internet services has begun. Bharti Airtel gave Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 5G-connected ambulance and smart agricultural technologies at the nation’s formal 5G inauguration. The ambulance will revolutionize primary health care in emergency scenarios. Modern medical technology, patient monitoring software, and telemetry equipment are all included in the 5G Connected Ambulances, which transmit patient health data to the hospital in real time. A revolutionary new technology is 5G. The adoption of 5G will bring some cutting-edge use cases to the Indian market, with healthcare being one of the most promising 5G use cases.

What Is a 5G Ambulance?

The cutting-edge 5G ambulance is equipped with contemporary medical equipment, patient monitoring software, and telemetry devices. These devices instantly transmit hospital staff with patient health information. Additionally, it has cameras integrated into its headpiece, cameras on board, and ‘Bodyc Cams’ for paramedics, all of which are connected to the lightning-quick Airtel 5G network. Paramedics in an ambulance can utilize the cameras to collaborate with hospital ER doctors who have access to AV/VR technology to carry out quick treatments when a real-time video feed is available. Through video conversations, doctors can virtually examine patients and review their results. Many communities can receive medical care at the same time. As prompt treatment can begin inside the ambulance itself, this will help save many lives. The fact that the ambulance is 5G linked is evidence of Apollo Hospitals’ dedication to using technology to improve patient care. The 5G Connected Ambulance functions as an extension of the emergency room and makes the following possible when a patient is critically ill and traveling to the hospital and every second counts:

• Always in touch with the hospital: In order to ensure that the closest ambulance gets to the important patient in time to preserve the patient’s golden hour, the high-speed, low-latency 5G network sends the Geo-location of every ambulance to the hospital’s command center. In addition, the ambulance delivers in real-time to the hospital’s medical staff all of the patient’s monitoring data, including vital signs. This enables the ER doctors to draw conclusions more rapidly and give instructions to the ambulance’s paramedics on how to administer necessary care while it is moving. Additionally, it trains the hospital staff to handle the patient more effectively and expeditiously when they arrive.
• Doctors are virtually transported to the ambulance: Thanks to the real-time video feed, which paramedics in the ambulance can utilize to work with ER doctors in the hospital who are outfitted with AV/VR technology to do simple procedures, if necessary. The paramedic can be digitally guided by the doctors to do the procedure and save valuable lives.
