5G to transform healthcare in rural India

5G in healthcare

The outbreak of the Covid-19 led to an unprecedented digital transformation of healthcare ecosystem in India. The adoption of advanced technology and innovations had been low in India before the Covid. Realizing the importance of technology in healthcare, the Union Cabinet recently approved the national roll-out of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, with a budget of Rs1,600 crore for five years.

Government has been increasingly focusing on eHealth/Digital Health to improve the Indian public healthcare delivery by progressively using Information & Communication Technology under the overall objective of Digital India.

Digital health has a huge potential of improving the healthcare delivery system and capable of changing the landscape of healthcare industry across the globe.

In view of the upcoming 5G technology in India, medical professionals are hopeful that this will fuel the growth of the digital transformation of healthcare ecosystem. They are of the view that this will lead to a more inclusive and accessible healthcare system.

“Yes, it can be game changer. Patients from remote area need to travel long distance to consult their doctors. With the advent of 5G, they can easily connect, share test reports, imaging etc. with their doctor and get advices without bothering about the travel and related expenses,” says Dr Ravi Kumar Singh, consultant nephrologist and renal transplant physician, Jaypee Hospital, Noida.

5G in healthcare

 

According to Dr Singh, the adoption of new technology will amplify and enable proactive and faster treatment. “With the advent of new technology, patients will have the opportunity to get a second opinion from international experts as well,” he adds.

Expansion of telemedicine

By providing 5G technologies to the remote parts of the country, says Deepak Sharma, CEO MedLern, we can bring much-needed telemedicine to these areas.

“This is not to say that providing connectivity to rural areas is not challenging for the government and telecom industry, but this is a venture worth exploring simply because it can mean the difference between life and death for all the people residing in the rural  areas,” says Sharma while highlighting the challenges of 5G’s implementation in the sector.

Preparedness of India

Dr Singh who has been in the medical profession for close to eight years emphasises on the importance of having electronic health record (EHR) system in place. “It is a must to strengthen the basic infrastructure and hospital staff before implementing 5G in the healthcare system,” adds Dr Singh.

The 5G technology promises to augment speeds and decrease latency for consumers and thus has the potential to transform how healthcare is delivered in India.

“In India, 5G will be most useful in driving almost real-time, good-quality video transmission which is required for remote tele-consultations. In this fashion, doctors can have direct access to patient’s high-quality imaging for medical review without any lag time and telemedicine will improve and quicken access to quality healthcare without having to visit clinics and hospitals, and help people in remote places as well,” adds Sharma.

Will 5G be a boon for healthcare system

Known for abysmal doctor-patient ratio, Indian healthcare system has an acute shortage of medical staff—doctors, nurses, paramedics, and technicians. The crisis of the medical staff crippled India’s response to Covid 19.

According to the experts, the 5G enabled healthcare system may be able to ensure good-quality healthcare to those who have been deprived of this due to various reasons. “By leveraging Internet of Things devices, healthcare workers can remotely monitor patients and provide consultations and medications and make other informed decisions. For a staff-starved country, especially in the remote reaches, this is indeed a heaven-sent boon,” explains Sharma.

Citing the example of the US, Sharma says that two-thirds of US healthcare providers either have or are in the process of developing tele-medicine programmes. According to him the market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2017 to 2023, solely on the back of soaring demand for rural healthcare. India too can incorporate the upcoming 5G in tele-healthcare facilities, especially those targeting remote, rural reaches of the country.

In addition to augmenting the healthcare system, Dr Singh believes that the 5G in healthcare will also open new horizons of employment in rural areas. “They can set up tele-clinics, path labs and provide employment to many skilled and unskilled people at local level after providing basic training,” says Dr Ravi.

Hindrance in implementation

Highlighting the challenges of adopting 5G in healthcare, MedLern CEO says that radio network equipment needs to be deployed in all existing hospital structures. “This means that necessary alterations have to be carried out on to the existing hospital facility, an expensive proposition, while ensuring that medical equipment is shielded. Alternatively, these equipment may need to be upgraded to their 5G-enabled versions, again another additional cost. There is also the matter of training healthcare to be able to operate these new procedures,” explains Sharma.

There is also the challenge of being able to connect remote clinics to specialists—a huge coverage challenge. While the public 5G network is being designed to provide extensive mobile coverage, providing the specific depth of coverage required for tele-medical consultations in rural corners of the country is another expensive proposition that needs government support. So most of the challenges are regarding cost management and network feasibility.

Will 5G arm doctors with actionable insights

As a proof of concept regarding how 5G can enable doctors to tele-consulate, communications solutions provider Airtel is already partnering with Cisco and Apollo Hospitals to operate a custom-designed 5G-connected ambulance service. Sharma informs that the ambulance will be equipped with the latest medical equipment that boosts healthcare access and life-saving in emergency situations and AR/VR technologies in the critical golden hour of the patient.

When a critical patient is being taken to the hospital, this ambulance will function as an extended emergency room by always being connected to the hospital and doctors virtually.

iOS 16 in the works: Here’s what to expect

Yes, you heard it right. Apple’s WWDC 2022 is coming in a week or so and here’s what the brand has planned for it. It is probably not the only unveil that we might witness, but it is definitely worth a lot. The latest iOS 16 is expected to come with a lot of new updates and upgrades to the existing features. Here’s what you can expect from it!

Apple soon to unveil iOS 16: What’s New?

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is just a week away. For those who don’t know, this is the popular event where Apple highlights its software strategy for the coming year.

For this WWDC the first announcement might be Apple’s upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 16. As per a fresh report by Gurman, the new software has been named Sydney. Also, it is one of the most significant upgrades, chocking a number of changes across the operating system, as per the report. Here are a few of the upgrades you can expect from the upcoming iOS 16:

Enhanced lock screen functionality

This is one of the major parts where Apple plans to market the upcoming update. Generally, we unlock our iPhone to check the incoming notifications rather than swiping right and choosing an option from the widgets. Adding to this, the flashlight or the auto-rotate might be the only widely-used features from the lock screen.

Apple soon to unveil iOS 16: What's New?

This is now going to change with the iOS 16 and the upcoming iPhone 14. Apple has planned major improvements by enhancing the lock screen features, including wallpapers that have widget-like capabilities. With that Apple is also bringing the always-on lock screen for the rumoured iPhone 14 series. Interestingly, this is one feature that Apple planned for its last iPhone 13 series, but then got delayed until a year later. Now, how the always-on display works?  This allows the iPhone to turn down the frame rate significantly on the lock screen and display quickly glanceable information—similar to newer Apple Watches.

As per Gurman’s report, this new display might be seen on the higher devices of the series, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, codenamed D73 and D74.

What’s new in messaging

It’s been a long since Apple has brought any major changes to the messaging app. However, the iOS 16 will feature some great changes for messaging. Apple might come up with a ‘community platform’ for the messaging. Users may expect more social network-like functionalities, especially for the audio messages.

tvOS new updates

With the new operating system update, iOS 16, The Apple TV operating system, tvOS, will get more smart-home tie-ins. While, on the hand, the Mac will get some redesigned apps and a much-needed overhaul to System Preferences to make them more in line with Settings on iOS. That includes organizing settings by the app.

Improved multi-tasking

iOS 16 is expected to bring amazing multi-tasking and windowing upgrades this time. Gurman says in his report, “While I don’t expect an iOS 7-scale redesign in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, I’m expecting major changes to windowing and multitasking, particularly on the iPad”. This was also confirmed by a result from Steve Troughton-Smith, which suggests that Apple is including greater windowing functionality into its online browser framework.

Health is important

While the Health app is unlikely to be ported to the iPad and Mac, it will receive a slew of new capabilities for the iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple is also planning big changes to watchOS, which will affect day-to-day operations and navigation. Changes to watch faces will be made, as well as the addition of a low-power mode.

Snapchat rolled out ‘Shared Stories’

Snapchat has rolled out its latest feature making it easier and more convenient for the users to share snaps together. It is named the ‘Shared Stories’. Using this new feature users can tap on the shared stories option and create a new story while selecting the same. In a way, the feature is like a group on WhatsApp where users can share images, and here instead the images will be Snaps created via the Snapchat camera and they will function as Snaps do.

Snapchat rolled out 'Shared Stories'

Shared Stories, according to Snapchat, are a new sort of Custom Stories, which previously enabled Snapchat users to create a Story and invite others to see and contribute to it. Now, with the new Shared Stories feature, users who have been added to the group can add their friends as well, “making it easier for the whole soccer team, camp, squad, or group of new coworkers to get in on the fun.” In a related post, Snapchat has also confirmed that it is working on a more enhanced parental controls feature, allowing the guardians to keep a track of their kids’ Snapchat activities.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro might feature an always-on display

As per some fresh tips, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 might feature an always-on display. This will only be available on its other higher versions- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Reportedly, Apple is working on rolling the feature out with iOS 16, which will allow the top-end iPhone 14 Pro to show a few things on the display when it is locked. His intel corroborates what we have heard about the iPhone 14 Pro, and considering Gurman is a credible source, this could be the time that an always-on display will arrive on the iPhone.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro might feature an always-on display

According to Gurman, the always-on display mode on the iPhone will be the same as it is on the Apple Watch Series 5 and higher models. This directly indicates that both the supported models: the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will lower the frame rate of the screen when the always-on mode is enabled, reducing the battery usage amount.

Samsung to soon reduce the production by 30M in 2022

Soon after Apple’s announcement of reducing its production to 20M this year, Samsung is next in the row. Reportedly, Samsung has announced cutting back on its production as well. The first quarter of 2022 had proven to be one of the best years for Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S22 series managed to bag all the customers this year.  It is also one of the highest performing Q1s that Samsung has had in a long time. The demand for its Galaxy S22 series is still the highest. Following this high demand, Samsung also planned to produce almost 310 million smartphones at the start of the year. The brand also has almost 24% of the global smartphone market at its disposal.

Samsung to soon reduce the production by 30M in 2022

The most anticipated reasons for these major steps are similar to those of Apple. Inflation has resulted in a decrease in demand as well as greater expenses, resulting in reduced production. Furthermore, a key source of production stumbling blocks is the scarcity of chips.

Vivo T2X launched in China

The Vivo T2X arrived in China sooner than predicted. The mid-range smartphone was set to go on sale with the standard Vivo T2 starting June 6. The T2X, on the other hand, has been secretly disclosed by the brand, along with its price specs and features. The front camera is housed in a waterdrop notch on the Vivo T2X’s 6.58-inch IPS LCD. The phone’s display features a refresh rate of 144Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. It has a peak brightness of 650 nits and supports the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Existing iPad users have always demanded WhatsApp accessibility on their devices, and finally, their wishes might be granted soon.

Reportedly, the Meta-owned messaging app is expected to launch an iPad version soon. WhatsApp is working on a Multi-device 2.0, reported WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp features. It will have the ability to support iPads. This new ability would help the users to connect their iPads or Android tablets to their existing WhatsApp accounts. They would be able to login into their existing WhatsApp accounts using four different devices, thanks to the multi-device connectivity. However, they would not be able to access their accounts from two different phones at the same time. WhatsApp would allow its users to have their phone as their primary account. Then, they can use the same WhatsApp functions through WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp portal and WhatsApp desktop versions.

The report also says that WhatsApp is working to bring the app support for Macbooks as well. It will soon come up with a macOS version to support WhatsApp on Macbooks too. Currently, you can find WhatsApp on your respective systems, Play Store for Android and App Store for iPhone.

Silently exit the group

WhatsApp will soon allow the users to make a quiet exit from all unnecessary conversations as well as groups. The feature is called the Silent Exit which will allow the members to leave groups quietly. Also, other group members will not be aware of their exit, which is one of the best parts of it. As per the information on WABetaInfo, only the members who have left their groups and their group admins will be notified about it. WABetaInfo said, “WhatsApp normally adds a system message in the chat to inform all participants that you exited the group: this information will only show up to group admins in the future. Group admins should always be notified about what happens in their groups, so it is needed to show them who exited a group.”

Quick message reactions

The feature has made quite a thud in the market since its availability. It was also one of the most-awaited features on WhatsApp. Just like Instagram, users can now react to messages and save themselves from all the forced conversations they had to be part of before. You get five emojis and you can use whichever suits your conversation the best, Reactions feature on WhatsApp start rolling out today, says Mark Zuckerberg.
