The Hospital da Luz Lisbon is the “first health infrastructure” with 5G, a partnership between the Light Group Health and the US and an investment that is forecast to exceed 50,000 euros, as told Lusa the executive director of NOS, Manuel Ramalho Eanes.
This partnership will leverage technological advances in healthcare and medical research, at the level of the entire support structure of Hospital da Luz Lisboa, in what is the largest medical simulation center in the country and which will soon begin to receive students from medicine.
At the presentation of the first 5G hospital in Portugal, the potential of this technology with Virtual and Augmented Reality applications was demonstrated, in medical education and hospital training. In an initial phase, with these technologies it will be possible to create new scenarios and virtual environments for training, diagnosis and treatment.
The same technologies will be used in the hospital’s palliative care, as a complement to the usual therapies, whether in a logic of reassurance or sensory stimulation.
t is expected that 5G will also allow greater agility in the operational and technical functioning of the hospital, optimizing costs and time, and improving the service provided.
