Vertical: Healthcare
Application: Patient safety monitoring, IV fluid management, emergency response
Ecosystem: HFR Mobile
Private Network: 5G
In a significant advancement for medical care technology, Hanyang University Hospital in Guri, South Korea has implemented a comprehensive private 5G network solution from HFR Mobile. This new deployment marks a crucial step forward in leveraging advanced wireless technology to enhance patient care and safety protocols.
The installation features a complete private 5G infrastructure, including a core network, service management platform, and both centralized and distributed units working in concert with radio components. This robust technical foundation enables the hospital to implement sophisticated real-time monitoring systems that directly impact patient care and safety.
At the heart of this implementation are AI-powered CCTV systems that continuously monitor emergency rooms and waiting areas. These intelligent systems can instantly detect potential fall hazards and incidents, allowing staff to respond rapidly to developing situations. The ultra-low latency of the 5G network ensures that these alerts reach medical personnel without delay, potentially preventing serious accidents and improving emergency response times.
The solution also introduces an innovative approach to intravenous therapy management. Through real-time infusion monitoring, medical staff can track IV fluid flow rates and volumes directly from patient bedsides. This capability not only enhances patient safety but also streamlines clinical workflows, allowing healthcare providers to focus more attention on direct patient care.
HFR Mobile’s Head of Sales and Business Development, Hae-Kwan Jung, emphasized the critical nature of this technology in medical settings: “Private 5G is essential for preventing accidents in medical environments. We aim to contribute to industrial and societal advancement by providing innovative, tailored solutions that drive digital transformation in hospitals and help to build a smarter and safer society.” The company’s vision extends beyond single implementations, aiming to drive broader improvements in healthcare through digital innovation.
This deployment reflects a growing trend in healthcare digitalization, where secure, high-speed networks serve as the foundation for advanced patient care systems. The success at Hanyang University Hospital demonstrates how private 5G networks can effectively support sensitive medical operations while maintaining the strict data security requirements essential in healthcare settings.
