Healthtech Innovation Insight: SmartForest 5G Clinic - technologies, insights and future prospects

The SmartForest 5G Clinics project tested 5G-supported robotic solutions in hospitals. Find out about the results, such as increased efficiency, better patient care and reduced staff workload, and discuss the challenges such as technical hurdles and acceptance issues with us.

The SmartForest 5G Clinics project researched the use of 5G-supported robotic solutions to improve healthcare. Applications such as televisits, autonomous patient guidance systems and robot-assisted logistics were trialled in real hospital environments. The Insight presents key results: Increased efficiency in everyday hospital life, improved patient care and reduced staff workload. Challenges such as technical hurdles and acceptance issues are also discussed.

Prof Dr Florian Wahl is HTA professor for sensor-based AI systems in nursing at Deggendorf Institute of Technology (THD). After completing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, he conducted research at the Mercedes-Benz Research Centre in Palo Alto. This was followed by a Master's degree in Embedded Systems at Eindhoven University of Technology and a PhD at the University of Passau, which he completed with honours in 2019. Since 2018, he has been conducting research at the Technology Campus Grafenau of the THD, where he heads the research group ‘Artificial Intelligence for Context and Activity Recognition’ (AI4CARE).
