Construction and Application of a Private 5G Standalone Medical Network in a Smart Health Environment: Exploratory Practice From China.

Background: To date, the differentiated requirements for network performance in various health care service scenarios-within, outside, and between hospitals-remain a key challenge that restricts the development and implementation of digital medical services.

Objective: This study aims to construct and implement a private 5G (the 5th generation mobile communication technology) standalone (SA) medical network in a smart health environment to meet the diverse needs of various medical services.

Methods: Based on an analysis of network differentiation requirements in medical applications, the system architecture and functional positioning of the proposed private 5G SA medical network are designed and implemented.

Telemedicine Is Becoming an Increasingly Popular Way to Resolve the Unequal Distribution of Healthcare Resources: Evidence From China.

Background: Few studies focused on the general situation of telemedicine in China.

Objectives: The purpose of this review is to investigate telemedicine in China, from the aspects of necessity, history, scale, and operation procedure, to improve the further development and implementation of telemedicine service.

Methods: A literature search for peer-reviewed studies was conducted using the primary electronic databases.

Spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of COVID-19 in China: a city-level modeling study.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of COVID-19 on nationwide city-level in China.

Objective: To analyze and visualize the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and clustering pattern of COVID-19 cases from 362 cities of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in mainland China.

A Security Awareness and Protection System for 5G Smart Healthcare Based on Zero-Trust Architecture.

The key features of 5G network (i.e., high bandwidth, low latency, and high concurrency) along with the capability of supporting big data platforms with high mobility make it valuable in coping with emerging medical needs, such as COVID-19 and future healthcare challenges.

Implementation and Application of Telemedicine in China: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Telemedicine has been used widely in China and has benefited a large number of patients, but little is known about the overall development of telemedicine.

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a national survey to identify the overall implementation and application of telemedicine in Chinese tertiary hospitals and provide a scientific basis for the successful expansion of telemedicine in the future.

Methods: The method of probability proportionate to size sampling was adopted to collect data from 161 tertiary hospitals in 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities.

Design and Application of a Telemedicine System Jointly Driven by Videoconferencing and Data Exchange: Practical Experience from Henan Province, China.

There are a few problems restraining the effective operation of telemedicine in China. On the basis of practices of the Henan Province Telemedicine Center of China (HTCC), the purpose of this study was to design a telemedicine system jointly driven by videoconferencing and data exchange to address the issues limiting the further development and implementation of telemedicine. Based on service-oriented architecture, the organizational design of the telemedicine system was gradually refined from top to bottom to complete its hierarchical layout.
