Alleviating the difficulty of seeking medical treatment for high-altitude herdsmen thousands of miles away, upgrading the "mobile medical integrated vehicle" for Shanghai's aid to youth | CT | high-altitude
On July 10th, a herdsman slowly walked off the "Mobile Medical Integrated Vehicle" at the People's Hospital of Maqin County, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, after completing a CT scan. This marks the integration of multiple high-tech "mobile CT remote intelligent expert imaging consultations" in the medical and communication fields by multiple Shanghai youth aid units, and the first application in county-level hospitals on high plateaus in China.
It is reported that the remote imaging consultation is a collaboration between China Mobile's Youth Aid Team, Tongji University Affiliated Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital, and high-tech youth aid enterprises in Jiading District. It innovatively integrates multiple advanced technologies and working mechanisms such as "vehicle mounted high-definition CT imaging technology, 5G remote communication technology, AI assisted diagnosis technology, and imaging expert review consultation". It can effectively solve the problem of difficult CT rational allocation and lack of imaging professional technical talents in sparsely populated plateau areas, and effectively alleviate the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for herdsmen in high-altitude areas.
According to Zhu Xinpu, a doctor from Shanghai who is assisting youth and the director of Maqin County People's Hospital, a key aid to rural revitalization, this is currently the only "mobile medical vehicle" in Qinghai Province that carries 40 rows of CT scans. Through technical cooperation, it has upgraded from a "single machine version" to a "hospital internal interconnection version" and a "remote intelligent expert imaging consultation version" of mobile CT imaging diagnosis.
"With this system, we can conduct real-time consultations on X-ray, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging examination data from county-level hospitals in the western part of Shanghai, 2700 kilometers away, and issue imaging diagnosis reports." said Luo Yu, director of the Radiology Department of Shanghai Fourth Hospital. We can also ensure the accuracy and efficiency of remote imaging diagnosis through "AI assisted diagnosis software+double review by imaging experts". In theory, we can provide remote imaging consultation support to more assisted hospitals at the same time, allowing more remote residents to enjoy advanced imaging diagnosis services in Shanghai, driving the improvement of local hospital imaging technology and diagnosis and treatment level.
The person in charge of the construction unit of the "Mobile Medical Integrated Vehicle" from Jiading District introduced that this is a beneficial attempt. In the future, enterprises will pay more attention to improving the medical service capabilities of grassroots medical institutions in high-altitude areas, continuously expanding the application scenarios of new technologies in hospitals, such as remote ultrasound, remote surgical guidance, remote teaching and training, etc. Enterprises are also constantly exploring a future oriented medical metaverse, introducing more advanced medical resources from Shanghai to remote areas through technologies such as digital twins and virtual simulation, benefiting more people in remote areas.
Xin Gang, a cadre of China Mobile's aid to youth and deputy county mayor of Maqin County, introduced that during China Mobile's assistance to Maqin County, it will continuously expand the application scope of 5G communication technology, provide real-time, remote, high mobility, and digital medical services for patient diagnosis, first aid, and nursing, and promote the upgrading of medical informatization to smart healthcare, solve the problems of medical resource shortage and single technical means in Maqin County, further improve hospital operation efficiency, reduce operating costs, and promote the sharing and sinking of medical resources.
"Let the equipment walk more, let the information run more, and let the people in pastoral areas run less." Sai Zhong, the director of the Maqin County Health Bureau, highly praised the breakthrough progress of Maqin County People's Hospital in remote medical work since the national key assistance for rural revitalization and Shanghai's aid to youth. He said that being able to enjoy the most advanced medical technology achievements in the local area is a major event for the health and well-being of Maqin.
Zhu Xinpu also stated that Shanghai Siyuan is currently providing comprehensive assistance to Maqin County People's Hospital in medical services, medical technology, talent cultivation, scientific research and teaching, and public health. In the future, we will provide stronger support for the Guoluo region in remote ultrasound, remote pathology, and remote surgical guidance, helping the country achieve "rural revitalization" and "healthy China" as soon as possible.
