Remote Medical Expertise project the remote medical consultation and group education solution makes use of a 5G network to send 360-degree video from AR glasses and patient data gathered by biosensors and other connected instruments to a remote viewing station. This allows a medical specialist to manage the treatment of a patient or a group of medical students to follow procedures and measurement data as well as hear the reports of the attending physician and the patient. The solution significantly reduces the need for travel, and can be utilised in a number of other applications outside the medical sector, from teaching to industrial maintenance and condition inspections of buildings.
