New Medical Technology Provides Safeguard at Beijing Winter Olympics

Beijing ushers in the beginning of 2022 with the 24th Winter Olympic Games, a major winter sports event featuring 2,851 participating athletes from 89 countries around the world. It's no simple task providing medical support given the high risks associated with this event, and the ease with which disease could spread between sites located in different areas. Therefore, strict disease control and prevention measures are imperative. Working with other top medical institutes, Mindray has developed smart connection solutions for the event to provide efficient and effective medical care services to the global athletes.

Challenges with Providing Medical Support at the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games

Limited mobility due to disease control measures

Due to the pandemic, staff mobility will be limited and medical resources will be relatively scattered. Therefore, remote operational guidance is required.

Greater risk of injury on the ice and snow

Since winter sports are mostly very difficult and dangerous, medical support is an important part of running a successful event. All of the competition zones must be equipped with first-class medical equipment and rescue personnel.

Scattered competition venues

There are three major competition zones for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, namely Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. The competition venues are located between these three zones.

Sun Chunlan

Vice Premier of the State Council

We adhere to the principle of putting life first, and comply with "quick, standardized, safe" service requirements. On-site rescue is our priority, for which we have optimized the transfer process to ensure an optimal rescue as quickly as possible. We ensure that key rescue facilities such as first aid equipment, medicines, ambulances and helicopters, are ready and in good condition by performing test runs and actual on-site drills. This helps to improve rescues in competition areas, admissions to designated hospitals, psychological counselling and other parts of the medical support system.

We make use of 5G+ medical health technology at the Winter Olympics, and use key information and promotions to provide a service guarantee to the "300 million people involved in the Winter Sports".

Ao Yingfang

Dean of Chongli Campus, Peking University Third Hospital

Our Rescue Command Center fully utilizes high-tech 5G technology to link the snow park, ambulances, helicopters and our rescue hospital. Basically, we are the "eyes" of our physicians at the forefront of each step of the rescue operation, allowing us to monitor the snowfields and rescue sites. These "eyes" at the forefront of each operation make the diagnoses and treatments more reliable.

I am working as a member of medical support personnel at the closed loop Winter Olympics in Chongli. In case I encounter any difficult or complicated cases in my work, I will keep in touch with my colleagues in the Ultrasound Department of Peking University Third Hospital through the remote ultrasound platform to provide support for the Winter Olympics.

Advancements in modern technology can change many medical activities. The use of a teleconsultation platform can avoid unnecessary infections, while allowing Winter Olympics athletes access to consultations of more specialists for some difficult diseases.

Cui Guoqing

Sports Medicine Specialist, Peking University Third Hospital

The mobility and dynamic structure of ultrasonography is very valuable in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injuries. In addition, ultrasound is very advantageous when checking for fluids. Physicians will have more confidence when puncturing a fluid site under ultrasound guidance. Therefore, ultrasound should be applied more often in the sports medicine field.
