Huawei launches the Medical Technology Digitalization Solution at MWC in Barcelona

During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Huawei officially launched the Medical Technology Digitalization Solution as part of its effort to lead the digital and intelligent upgrade of the healthcare industry.

Why does it matter?

The medical technology digitization solution focuses on pathology and medical imaging. The solution has three competitive advantages:

1. SmartCache intelligent pre-reading, which improves image reading efficiency and achieves zero latency during data retrieval;
2. The Huawei-developed compression algorithm, which saves 30% storage and 70% cabinet space; and
3. Video-network synergy, which supports consistent remote diagnosis to promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.

This solution has been applied in many healthcare institutions around the world. For instance, Huawei helped Ruijin Hospital build a digital smart pathology department, which enables concurrent access to 1000+ pathological sections within one second. This improved the retrieval speed by 80 times.

Huawei also helped the Health Bureau of Longgang District, Shenzhen, build a regional medical imaging platform. It supports the interconnection and sharing of medical image data among 12 hospitals, one-click access to image reports, and mutual recognition of cross-hospital examinations.

How does it work?

Huawei leverages cloud-network-edge-device synergy to dig deep into service scenarios and upgrade three major solutions:

1. The Smart Ward Solution looks to Wi-Fi, IoT, and multi-band convergence in one network to support data collection for more than 400 terminals — delivering high-quality diagnosis and treatment.
2. The Smart Hospital Campus Solution uses the digital platform to streamline campus operations subsystems, achieving all-scenario intelligent services and E2E refined operations.
3. The One Hospital, Multiple Branches Solution builds an integrated cloud-network-edge resource base to implement unified management as well as diagnosis and treatment services of the same quality across different hospital branches.

So far, Huawei has served over 5000 hospitals and medical institutions in more than 110 countries and regions.

On the record

"To accelerate the intelligent upgrade of the healthcare industry, Huawei, as an ICT provider, builds a secure and sustainable digital foundation for the healthcare industry and helps it go intelligent," said David Shi, Vice President of Huawei's ICT Marketing & Solution Sales.
