The high probability of injury for ice and snow sport athletes, coupled with spread-out venues and strict requirements for pandemic prevention and control, presents a huge challenge to medical support services for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Therefore, timely, scientific, and effective medical treatment is key for the success of this winter sports event.
The use of 5G, AI, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and other next-generation information technologies not only provides new ideas for pre-hospital emergency care, but also powers the High-Tech Winter Olympics. Driven by the latest technologies and optimized models, Mindray took the initiative and involved other top medical institutes in customizing smart connection solutions for this Winter Olympics, to provide effective medical care for athletes.
At the Winter Olympics, the 5G ambulances in Beijing Emergency Center have been equipped with Mindray BeneHeart D6 defibrillator-monitors, which can transmit the vital signs of patients in the ambulance to the command center and hospital receptions in real time by using a 5G network that has great bandwidth, low latency, high reliability, and wide connectivity. Thanks to the full 5G coverage in Beijing, even at the Yanqing venues, located more than 100 kilometers away from the command center, the data and images can be transmitted quickly and clearly in real time.
As the first referral hospital for Zhangjiakou, Chongli Campus, Peking University Third Hospital (hereinafter referred to as Chongli Campus) is undertaking 46% of the medical care workload for this Olympics. Mindray high-end portable ultrasound M9 and BeneVision N1 patient monitors have also been installed in all its ambulances. The M9 enables timely and accurate diagnosis and proper treatment plans for acute trauma, cardiac events, and other emergencies that may occur in the competition venues. The N1 patient monitor can be inserted directly into the Mindray N series monitors as a basic parameter monitoring module after the patient is admitted. This enables greater transfer efficiency and automatic upload of monitoring data, ensuring the integrity of patient monitoring information.
""We will utilize 5G+ medical health technology during the Winter Olympic Games, and use key information and promotions, to provide a service guarantee to the '300 million people involved in the Winter Sports' in the future!"

Vice Dean, Chongli Campus, Peking University Third Hospital
While the medical workers treat the patient in the ambulance, the M-Connect solution and remote ultrasound platform transmits data on the patient's vital signs and ultrasound images in real time to the consultation center of Chongli Campus, so the medical specialists there are aware of the patient's condition in advance. Based on their consultation opinions, the command center will make wise decisions and remotely guide the treatment, making cloud consultation a reality and also ensuring the golden hour for patient treatment.
"As an athlete, all of us want to be treated by a medical specialist as soon as possible. This visit made me very confident about the medical service guarantee for the event."
