SMART AMBULANCE
Thailand has introduced a new 5G-connected smart ambulance. In partnership with Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital in Bangkok, communications company Thai True Corporation has developed new features for its fleet to help improve diagnostic and treatment procedures, as well as the communication between paramedics and doctors at the hospital. The vehicle, known as the “new ER model” can provide high-resolution large data such as CT scans, x-rays and ultrasound images that can be sent
over a “smart intelligence network”, as well as live streamed footage from internal CCTV cameras. As part of the new model, paramedics can wear AR glasses that also send images to the hospital in real time so that doctors can monitor patients’ symptoms. The ambulance also has an enhanced smart ventilation system that pushes air out of the vehicle and reduces the risk of infection, which is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic.
