Deepwise and China Unicom Heilongjiang Join Hands with 5G+AI against Suifenhe COVID-19 Epidemic

Deepwise and China Unicom Heilongjiang have jointly deployed a 5G healthcare private network in Heilongjiang port city to implement information communication with local hospitals, smart hospital construction, and remote consultation. Artificial intelligence technology was used to help Suifenhe People's Hospital fight against COVID-19 epidemic.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission have formulated the Implementation Plan for Promoting the "Cloud and Data Intelligence" Action to Cultivate New Economic Development, giving full play to technological innovation and enablement to combat the epidemic. 5G is used in the healthcare industry to drive the rapid development of digital, mobile, remote, and intelligent medical services with advantages such as high bandwidth, low latency, and large connections.

In 2020, a new type of coronavirus pneumonia is raging around the world. Guided by the national goal of using the Internet and social service development suggestions, the "Cloud and Data Intelligence" campaign was implemented. Deepwise and China Unicom Heilongjiang worked together to build a 5G medical private network in Heilongjiang port city to implement information exchange between local hospitals, smart hospital construction and remote consultation.

The epidemic situation in China has entered a stable stage. Affected by the serious situation of the epidemic situation abroad, a small peaceful town on the border has become the focus of China's attention. The small border town with a population of only 70,000 has become the main port connecting Russia. Suifenhe has a large influx of entry personnel in a short period of time, as of April 26, 380 cases of confirmed cases have been reported to Suifenhe estuary. Relevant departments responded quickly and vacated the Suifenhe People's Hospital and handed it over to the Red Flag Hospital affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical College to carry out the COVID-19 epidemic medical treatment.

China Unicom Heilongjiang completed 5G private network deployment in a timely manner, enabling real-time consultation with the consultation teams of provincial central hospitals and Beijing hospitals. In addition, the logistics is not smooth during the epidemic period, and field engineers cannot arrive at the site. China Unicom Heilongjiang innovatively uses the 5G private network and edge computing solution to deeply integrate cutting-edge technologies such as 5G private network, edge computing, and AI, fully leveraging the advantages of 5G private networks and setting a new record in the industry of AI image cloud deployment in small border cities within hours.

To implement AI-assisted doctor screening, Dr.Wise® Intelligent Pulmonary Disease Solution (COVID-19 enhanced version) developed by Deepwise for COVID-19 can quickly detect pneumonia CT images caused by various reasons and help COVID-19 early images to perform large-scale case screening. The high detection rate helps to detect potential patients in time. Doctors can screen the lesions within 2 minutes, which greatly improves work efficiency and effectively relieves the work intensity and difficulty of medical staff in Suifenhe People's Hospital.

With the joint efforts of Deepwise and China Unicom Heilongjiang, Raohe Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Jiamusi Hospital in Heilongjiang have introduced 5G+AI smart healthcare systems. Advanced technologies, such as 5G and AI, enable grassroots hospitals to comprehensively improve their medical service capabilities, ensure that people in frontier areas can enjoy quality basic medical services at home, and continuously improve their sense of access and happiness. The advanced AI medical technology is rooted in the fertile soil of Heilongjiang, benefiting local people.
