ITRI, hospital unveil remote-operated 5G ultrasound technology｜Taiwan News

To improve health care in remote areas, the Industrial Technology Research Institute has unveiled a remote-operated 5G ultrasound technology in collaboration with MacKay Memorial Hospital. The technology lets doctors in urban areas diagnose patients far away through a real-time 5G connection, saving patients lengthy trips to the city for a checkup. The technology was developed with support from the Administration for Digital Industries. Here at MacKay Memorial Hospital in Tamsui, a doctor uses a robotic arm to perform an ultrasound on a patient in Hsinchu County’s Jianshi Township. This technology saves the three to four hours of travel time needed for an in-person checkup. It allows a complete liver and blood vessel checkup in just 10 minutes, giving the doctor a precise picture of the patient’s health. Hung Ta-chuan MacKay Memorial Hospital vice superintendent We’re using a physical machine with a digital, real-time approach. The doctor can perform the check right here, diagnose the patient, and provide additional explanations on the spot, reducing the distance between the general public and medical institutions. It also increases the convenience and accuracy of medical treatment. Doctors reach a diagnosis almost 90% of the time with this. Government data shows that in rural areas, the mortality rate from liver diseases is 3.4 higher than the national average. And for heart disease, the rate is two times higher. This new 5G remote heart and abdominal ultrasound technology also harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to make 3D reconstructions of diagnosed areas and increase the sensitivity of the probe and the robotic arm. The technology facilitates remote operations, giving doctors the feeling that they are with the patient. The low-latency 5G connection and broadband features boost the accuracy of medical care in rural areas. Chang Chuan-yu ITRI Service Systems Technology Center It’s difficult for residents in rural areas to get medical treatment. So, with the support of the Administration for Digital Industries, ITRI consolidated resources from companies in the relevant sectors and verification support from a hospital. We developed this remote ultrasound technology, this remote-controlled robotic arm, which can be used for diagnosis and to reduce the time it takes for rural patients to get medical treatment. The technology makes the heart, liver, and thoracic cavity clearly visible even through the ribs. This collaboration between the tech world and medical world is hailed as a big step forward for health equality.
