They will also help provide clinicians with access to data and digital systems wherever they need it. Patrick Clark, director of infrastructure services at NHS Digital, said: “Wireless technologies will continue to play an increasingly important role as the NHS looks to implement new models of care to allow patients to receive treatment at home or in mobile health settings. The trials are investigating the efficiency, safety and security benefits of using smart, 5G-connected technologies in NHS hospitals – including internet of things, augmented reality and AI. Maudsley Digital Lab’s series of digital health and innovation trials have been funded by NHS Digital and use a private 5G network providing dedicated connectivity for mission-critical digital health use cases for both clinicians and patients. The service provides screening, testing and treatment for vulnerable, homeless and high-risk people in London.Īnother trial, running in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, became the UK’s first 5G-connected hospital. It includes artificial intelligence (AI) software, a tele-radiology network to allow remote reading of X-rays using the trial’s flat-pack satellites, 4G and 5G routers, roaming SIM cards and smart antenna systems, as well as a digital portable X-ray camera. Previous NHS Digital wireless trials include University College London Hospitals’ Find and Treat service, which provides real-time remote diagnosis and referrals on board a mobile health unit. NHS organisations wanting to take part need to submit an overview of their wireless project, its objectives, the anticipated outcome and impact for delivery of health or social care, as well as the healthcare need or technological challenge they are seeking to overcome.
