• describes the forms of health care that bridge spatial distances.
• innovative diagnostic instruments allow patients to measure their vital signs
independently, which are transmitted in real time to the family doctor.
• Target group: elderly, non-mobile or rural residents.
• For younger people, health counselling via video chat or chatbots is of
interest, especially for psychotherapeutic approaches.

Remote Healthcare
• The advantage for patients: better care and better health
outcomes without having to go to the doctor's office or
hospital every day.
• Advantages for doctors: possibility to be
in two places at the same time. Keep an eye
on a patient via video, view his medical
records on his smartphone, study his X-ray
and CT scans from anywhere and do almost
all other tasks that are part of his normal
work.

Home care for persons in
need of care
Challenge:
• Round-the-clock care not feasible for many relatives.
Solution approaches:
• Support through virtual assistants and development of
technological possibilities for improved care

5. The US company Electronic Caregiver has developed a virtual
caregiver called "Addison" who uses artificial intelligence to provide
round-the-clock care to those who need it. The smart voice assistant
possesses a range of skills, such as supervising the taking of
medication, ensuring patients stick to their care plans, and responding
to emergencies. She also monitors vital signs that are measured by
Bluetooth-capable devices. What's more, by interacting with patients,
she aims to combat social isolation.

6. With "Cherry Home", the Californian start-up Cherry Labs installs
camera systems that use motion detection to track the well-being of
people in care. The camera data is then used to create a virtual
"skeleton" of the person so that the AI can analyse the events and
behaviour. This camera data is processed locally, so the video doesn't
leave the house. Individuals can then be recognised based on their
body proportions, gait and clothes. Family members are notified in the
event of unusual incidents and, over time, can see behaviour changes
and the onset of ailments.

7. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed
a mechanism that enables physically disabled people to operate a
robot for their daily care needs. This is achieved via a web browser in
which a camera image is displayed from the perspective of the robot.
By using the mouse or head movements, patients can send the robot
in a certain direction and select certain actions from a menu. These
actions include combing their hair, shaving, applying lotion and picking
up a bottle. Over the long term, the hope is that people with care needs
will be able to acquire greater autonomy in their daily lives.

8. A mobile hospital set up in a bus by Turkish engineers from the
company Proje Yapim has launched in Turkey's southwestern resort
town of Bodrum. It is the world's first eight-bed hospital on wheels and
is fitted with all medical facilities to monitor vital functions of patients.
The camera system located in the bus also enables it to make live
broadcasts to the nearest hospital or health institutions instantly, by
transferring patients' vital status in real time.

9. The Boston-based company Medically Home uses high-tech solutions
to create a temporary hospital unit in patients' homes. The service
provides a hospital bed with medical devices as well as a tablet for
communication with a team of doctors, nurses and coordinators. Using
the Cesia Continuum platform, the team can remotely control the
medicine administration and check the patient data. Other staff
members visit the patients at home to begin rehab measures or help
them with their household chores. According to Medically Home, this
service is up to 30% cheaper than staying in a real hospital.

Challenge:
• A large part of the world's population has little or no
access to health care
Solution approaches:
• Use of technologies enables patients and doctors to
conduct virtual consultations and make diagnoses
• Delivery concepts for reliable drug supply
• Use of mobile health apps to reach as many patients
as possible
Worldwide access to medical
care

11. A study led by the Imperial College London is looking at ways to use
existing smartphone technology for medical diagnoses. The
researchers have focused chiefly on sub-Saharan Africa, where half of
all mobile phones are now smartphones, even in rural areas. As well
as a camera, many phones also have sensors to measure the heart
rate and oxygen saturation. The mobile health data can help doctors in
other locations to make a diagnosis if the hospital is too far away or the
stigma is too great, such as with HIV.

12. Renmin Hospital in the Chinese city of Zhuhai is one of the first
medical centres to be opened that uses 5G technology. Thanks to
faster data transfer and reduced latency, the hospital has already been
able to help a first patient from the island Guishan Dao. 5G technology
from China United and Huawei enabled ultra-high-definition CT images
and an electrocardiograph from Guishan Dao to be sent for
assessment to Renmin Hospital. Shortly afterwards, face-to-face
exchanges were held between the interdisciplinary team and the
patient to produce a preliminary diagnosis.

13. The Californian start-up Zipline has built the world's biggest network for
drone deliveries in Ghana. The drones will complete approx. 600 flights
per day and supply some 12 million people in 2,000 medical centres
with medicine and blood reserves. The drones are ordered from the
medical centres via text message and will improve healthcare to
people living in rural areas. The delivery network cooperates closely
with Ghana's government whose aim is to supply everyone in the
country with the medicine they need within 15 minutes.

15. Researchers from the University of Washington have developed a tool
that monitors people at risk of a cardiac arrest while they sleep. A new
skill for a smart speaker or smartphone enables the device to detect
gasping or agonal breathing, which is a typical symptom. On average,
the tool could correctly identify an emergency 97% of the time and then
make a call to emergency services. The device can also notify other
people living in the home so that they can perform cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. This ensures constant monitoring for patients most at
risk.

16. Engineers at Stanford University have developed a flexible sensor that
sticks to the skin. With the "BodyNet" system, sensors made of
metallic ink detect physiological signals emanating from the skin based
on electric currents. They then forward the data wirelessly to a receiver
in the clothing. The researchers stuck the flexible sensors to various
parts of the body to measure things like heartbeat and breath based on
skin contraction. "BodyNet" can also be used to monitor patients with
sleep disorders or heart conditions.

Remote Surgery

18. During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, the first ever
5G-powered telementored operation was performed in real time as part
of the "Remote Surgeon" pilot project. The project was enabled by
Vodafone and AIS Channel, an online platform for training surgeons.
The benefit of 5G in operations is mainly in the reduced latency. During
the operation the 5G connection had a lag time of just 0.01 seconds,
compared to the 0.27-second latency period with the 4G wireless
networks. The surgeon Antonio de Lacy provided guidance from the
MWC via a video link to a surgical team operating on a patient with an
intestinal tumour.

19. Using the low latency and ultra-fast data transmission speed of 5G,
doctors in the Chinese province of Hainan have performed life-saving
surgery on a Parkinson's patient over 2,500 kilometres away in Beijing.
The remote operation was made possible with the help of China Mobile
and Huawei. The three-hour remote operation was necessary because
the patient's condition prevented him from being transported to Hainan.
The doctors implanted a neurostimulator in the patient by remotely
operating the surgery instruments in Beijing while they were located in
Hainan.

• Offer online contact points to lower inhibition
thresholds and bridge waiting times for personal
appointments
Mental Health

21. Shout is the British branch of the American Crisis Text Line, a text
message-based counselling service for young people with
psychological problems. To use the service, people in an emergency
can text the word SHOUT to a number. The messages are dealt with
by trained volunteers who call back as quickly as possible. They are
trained in talking to people in difficult situations, and work to calm them
down and offer hope. The conversation only ends when the user is in a
calm and safe place. The website also provides breathing techniques
and other useful tips.
