Emergency
Medical Response Service Provider Medulance Healthcare has launched a 5G- Smart
connected ambulance in association with Reliance Jio, the country’s biggest
telecom operator. The vehicle is equipped with cameras and smart devices that
allow real-time, two-way audio and video communication, high-definition footage
transmission, ambulance location tracking, and real-time streaming of patient
health data to a distant doctor over the high-speed 5G network.
This
helps in alerting the nearest hospital and staff to better manage the patient
on arrival and save critical time. Medulance Healthcare ambulance connected
with high speed 5 G aims to revolutionise the landscape of emergency healthcare
in rural India by connecting an ambulance to a hospital, almost anywhere in the
country.
Ravjot
Arora, Co-Founder, Medulance Healthcare, said: “In this ever-changing
technological landscape, the healthcare industry needs to stay adaptable to
fully leverage the wave of 5G. By integrating 5G with other leading
technologies, we can radically transform traditional patient care. Real-time
data relay and monitoring can be lifesaving in medical emergency cases. The 5G
promises to provide essential levels of connectivity to enable a new health
ecosystem, which not only meets the needs of the provider and the patient, but
also makes the healthcare network more accurate, efficient, convenient,
cost-effective and sustainable. This partnership with Jio is a step towards
achieving the same.”
The
5G ambulance by Medulance allows real-time transmission of patient’s vitals and
other health data from the vehicle directly to the hospital, from where doctors
can instruct the paramedic staff through a seamless digital connection. With
this, the patient can be administered treatment even during the commute to the
hospital, within the critical ‘golden hour’ when prompt medical attention can
save someone’s life, especially in medical emergencies like heart attack, brain
stroke, or accidents and trauma. The ambulance also promises to be a boon to
patients in rural and remote areas located far away from healthcare facilities.
Added,
Pranav Bajaj, Co-Founder, Medulance Healthcare, “Medulance has always been
focused on integrating technology with emergency response services to relay
patient data without any delay. Greater speed, ultra-low latency, and higher
bandwidth of the 5G network make real-time clinical assessment possible. With
the launch of 5G service with Jio, we will be able to implement this capability
across the country. Our vision is to transform the entire Medulance fleet of
more than 7,500 ambulances nationwide into smart ambulances by leveraging Jio's
5G network.”
