Response Plus Medical (RPM) and etisalat by e&, have introduced the new generation of 5G ambulances at the recently concluded Gitex Dubai.

 

With the new 5G feature, RPM’s fleet of ambulances now allow for remote diagnosis by enabling seamless connection between patients, ambulance staff and medical experts using etisalat by e&’s 5G private network. 

 

High speed and low latency

RPM's 350+ ambulance fleet will benefit from the high speed and low latency of the 5G network allowing vehicles to locate patients who need immediate care in critical moments, as well as enabling real-time transmission of patient vitals and health data from the vehicle directly to the command center or hospital. 

 

Lizinda Van Heerden, RPM's Integrated Ambulance Fleet In charge, commented: "I think we are moving into an era of excitement. Technology advancement will improve patient care in emergency situations; this 5G network will provide real-time data, which will be exchanged between first responders and medical practitioners. Data will be transferred faster with low latency, enabling images to be analysed quickly. This will lead to a more accurate diagnosis before the patient arrives at the hospital.”--TradeArabia News Service
