“…For instance, Rehman et al [5] proposed a system model of ambulance scenario operation where a femtocellular base station and transceiver are deployed in the ambulance to transmit medical ultrasound video streaming to the hospital's emergency department. The most recent study, conducted by Mukhopadhyay et al [6], develops a wireless communication system based on medical transit services in which real-time, patient vital data can be transferred to a doctor in the destination hospital though a smartphone application. These systems, developed by the above-mentioned, have been tested, or simulated, under various network conditions such as 2G (2nd Generation), 3G (3rd Generation), 4G (4th Generation), and Fiber to the Home (FTTH).…”

As the fifth generation (5G) network comes to the fore, the realization of 5G-enabled service has attracted much attention from both healthcare academics and practitioners. In particular, the 5G enabled ambulance service seamlessly connects the patient and ambulance crew at the accident scene, or in transit, with the awaiting emergency department team at the destination hospital, thereby, improving the rescue rate of patients. However, the application of the 5G network in the ambulance service currently lacks a reliable solution and simulation test of performance in the existing literature. To achieve this end, the primary aim of this study is to propose a solution of 5G-enabled smart ambulance service and then test the Quality of Service (QoS) of the proposed solution in experimental settings. We consider the emergency scenarios to investigate the task completion and accuracy of 5G-enabled smart ambulances, and to verify the superiority of our proposed solution. Our study explores the value of 5G-enabled smart ambulances and offers practical insights for the 5G network construction, business development and network optimization of smart ambulance service.

“…Ambulances are an important setting to start life-saving treatment before the hospital and can remotely assist in rational decision-making for the prehospital first-aid team before patients enter the hospital. Rehman et al [ 16 ] and Mukhopadhyay et al [ 17 ] applied wireless communication technology to the ambulance service. Nevertheless, the use of traditional wireless communication technologies in ambulances needs to overcome several technological challenges, such as limited, unreliable, and low-quality communication capability.…”

China is gradually becoming an aging society, and the necessity for prehospital first-aid care is increasing. However, there is a long-term information blind spot in traditional prehospital first-aid care. Fifth-generation (5G) network has the advantages of enhanced broadband, multiple connections, and low latency. Combined with the current prehospital first-aid system, the 5G smart medical prehospital first-aid care model creates a new opportunity for the development of prehospital first-aid care. This paper aimed to describe the 5G smart first-aid care platform and offers practical insights into the construction and application of the 5G smart first-aid care platform in small- and medium-sized cities. We first introduced the working principle of the 5G smart first-aid care platform and then chose patients with prehospital chest pain as an example to describe the whole workflow in detail. The application of the 5G smart emergency-care platform is at the stage of pilot exploration in large- and medium-sized cities. Big data statistical analysis of the completed first-aid care tasks has not been performed yet. The 5G smart first-aid care platform realizes real-time interconnection of information between the ambulance and the hospital, performs remote consultation, shortens the treatment time, and enhances treatment efficiency. Future research should focus on quality control analysis of the 5G smart first-aid care platform.

“…Rehman et al 11 suggested that cellular base stations and transmitters should be deployed during transportation to transmit the ultrasound conditions in ambulances to the receiving hospital in video streams. Mukhopadhyay et al 12 developed a medical information transmission system based on a wireless communication system to transmit the patient’s vital sign data to the receiving hospital; the system has been tested under the 4G network. Cao et al 13 deployed on-board cameras on ambulances, but had the following shortcomings: it was impossible to locate and view the patient’s detailed condition changes, such as skin color changes and wound details.…”

The 2022 Winter Olympics were held in the three competition zones of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, China. The venues of this Winter Olympics were scattered and the terrain was complex. Moreover, the medical resources of Hebei and Beijing were relatively unbalanced. In the medical security of major events, the connection between first aid and in-hospital processes is of the utmost importance to rescue quality. 5th generation mobile network (5G) applications in medical scenarios are on the rise. It would be of great relevance to fully use 5G’s low-latency and high-speed features to share the process information of patients, ambulance personnel, and the destination hospital’s rescue team at emergency scenes and in transportation, improving rescue efficiency. This paper proposes a system scheme of cross-institutional emergency health information sharing based on 5G and augmented reality wearable devices. It also integrates the construction method of monitoring and other sign data sharing, in addition to testing the proposed scheme’s service quality in 5G environments. In the deployment area of the 5G emergency medical rescue information sharing scheme for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, we selected two designated medical support institutions for testing. The test adopted a combination of fixed-point and driving tests to experiment on the service data, voice service, and streaming media indicators. The 5G signal's coverage rate was close to 100%, the standalone connection's success rate was 100%, and the drop rate was 0. The average downlink rate of multiple scenarios was 620mbps, and the average uplink rate of 5G was over 71.8mbps, which is higher than the average 5G level in China. The downlink rate was more than 20 times larger than the 4th generation mobile network (4G) rate. This study’s proposed scheme demonstrates the importance of 5G applications in emergency response and support, in addition to providing a suitable scheme for the integration of 5G networks in the medical scene.
