GE Healthcare inaugurated its 5G Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, India.
5G could disrupt the care continuum, transforming diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. The 5G Innovation Lab could help bring potentially bring cutting-edge technology to rural and suburban areas.
The lab will be a testbed to develop “future-ready” products and solutions. The facility has its own private 5G network for testing and development. It offers expertise and a collaborative environment for academia, the healthcare industry, and startups.
High-speed connectivity could advance point-of-care services by pushing the boundaries of telehealth, remote health monitoring/diagnosis, real-time remote image processing, and artificial intelligence (AI). 5G could transforming the patient experience by enabling rapid collection and transmission of large data files and real-time, high-definition video, which can support quicker analytical insights and streamline clinical decision-making.
“The healthcare industry, driven by value-based patient care, is at a turning point that will put a greater emphasis on connectivity and accessibility. As the world is transforming digitally, it’s important for us to ensure we don’t miss out on lifesaving, critical information. India is an important market for us globally and it is indeed the right time to venture into 5G, which will open a realm of exciting opportunities, driving the next wave of growth in Healthcare,” Jan Makela, president and CEO of Imaging at GE Healthcare told the press.
The lab will serve as a conduit for interplay of AI/ML, IoT, big data, edge computing, and cybersecurity technologies.
“At GE Healthcare, we are using our clinical expertise and know-how to deliver integrated, efficient, and highly personalized care and advance precision health. At our 5G Innovation Lab, our lead scientists and technologists will research and develop solutions for the most pressing healthcare issues, for India and the world. This lab will play a pivotal role in helping us build an ecosystem to explore 5G-enabled use cases and leapfrog into the next generation of MedTech,” added Girish Raghavan, GE Healthcare’s VP of engineering.
High-speed connectivity will help connect smaller clinics to larger specialty hospitals or radiology centers. The 5G Innovation Lab aims to explore and drive this accelerated trend, streamlining the continuum of care and supporting the patient journey.
5G-powered augmented and virtual reality are also key to training physicians from doctors and nurses to interns, enabling them to visualize procedures in a more engaged, learning-by-doing manner.
