The objective of this project is to improve the quality of healthcare and the efficiency of building management processes.
To achieve this, the project will deploy a private 5G network in Stockholm, Sweden.
What will it provide?
The project will enable the development of solutions for resource-efficient emergency medical services that increase patient safety and quality of care, with a focus on communication between ambulances, emergency departments and special care units; efficient patient triage; and hospital equipment tracking. The project will also enable improved efficiency in the management processes of buildings.
How will it work?
The project’s private 5G network will enable the implementation of five use cases:
- Drones delivering Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and situational awareness - the network will enable the use of beyond visual line of sight drones for delivering AEDs in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests as well as for providing seamless video communication, allowing real-time collaboration between dispatchers, responders and medical professionals, and improving situational awareness and patient care.
- Real-time locating system (RTLS) and sensors of hospital beds and infusion pumps - the network will enable the tracking of this misplaced hospital equipment, ensuring it is available for the care of patients while saving hospital staff’s valuable time.
- Improved triage and Emergency Room reception of high priority patients - the network will enable the use of video communication between ambulances and the doctor on call, allowing better preparation and triage, and improving patient outcomes.
- Augmented and virtual reality by Building Information Management (BIM) integration with Geographic Information System (GIS) through 5G - the network will enable improving the efficiency of development and management processes for buildings and infrastructure assets through the use of augmented and virtual reality in a digital 3D environment.
- Energy efficiency in heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) - the network will allow improving the monitoring and management of buildings’ HVAC systems and their energy efficiency by enabling the use of Internet of Things connected sensors and a digital twin, providing insights on maintenance, air volumes and indoor air quality.
How will it be built?
The project will deploy a private 5G high-band network integrated with an innovation core, combining indoor coverage with dedicated capacity in the public macro network.
The network will use 3.5 GHz spectrum and will comprise base stations as well as cloud resources.
How is it financed?
The project has a total budget of €8.50 million, of which €6.38 million under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital programme.
Who is involved?
The project is lead by Region Stockholm, as project coordinator, with Telia Sverige AB as beneficiary, and SODERSJUKHUSET AB, LOCUM AB, and AMBULANSSJUKVARDEN I STORSTOCKHOLM AKTIEBOLAG as affiliated entities.
