CASE STUDY
evaluate latency , speed , stability , quality and security , among other items , by transmitting and demonstrating data via 5G technology .
The results obtained , combined with the PAR solution developed by the startup NUT , enable techniques in which the same healthcare team coordinates multiple surgical procedures simultaneously and professionals can follow them from anywhere in the world .
Ricardo Abdalla , Assistant Surgeon of Digestive System Surgery , Icesp , said : “ During the PoC , the anesthesia machine measured the critical signs during the procedure . Therefore , with the patient anesthetized , we could compare the stability and efficiency of data transmission in the traditional way versus 5G . We had a satisfactory result . It was possible
THE AGENTS COULD EVALUATE LATENCY , SPEED , STABILITY , QUALITY AND SECURITY , AMONG OTHER ITEMS , BY TRANSMITTING AND DEMONSTRATING DATA VIA 5G TECHNOLOGY . to observe the data transmission at a faster and more efficient pace with quality , which ensures that we can think about possible next steps of the project that may include , for example , tests with the transmission of other types of data or surgery videos .”
During the experiment , sending data from the Internet ( Wi-Fi connection ) of hospitals was compared with sending data using the 5G signal , implemented on-site by Claro at the 3.5GHz frequency in a test license granted by the National Telecommunications Agency ( Anatel , in Portuguese ). A tenfold capacity increase happened from 5G compared to a conventional Wi-Fi connection .
Thiago Paulmier , CEO , NUT , said : “ In practical terms , this means that during the surgical procedure , a greater amount of information related to the patient clinical situation and the procedure itself could be transmitted in real-time without losses , enabling more effective monitoring by the healthcare team .
“ Another data point worth mentioning is the scenario of data sending effectiveness : with the PoC , we were able to evaluate that , with the Wi-Fi connection , there were several attempts to resend packets , which means that the data packets could not be sent completely , while with the use of 5G , there was no interruption . This has a positive impact , as it ensures that all the collected data is delivered to the clinical team faster , in real-time , without gaps .”
The entire experience was also only possible with the installation of appropriate equipment , the integration of solutions and the activation of digital infrastructure by the project partners : Ericsson and Embratel .
