The project began in September 2020 and is funded by the DCMS (Department for Digital Media and Sport) and is deploying private 5G networks to deliver improved well-being through affordable connectivity for remote health and social care and education, improve future resilience and reduce inequalities that arise from lack of affordable access. The new, independent network, has built on the previous 5G health and social care test bed in Kensington, Liverpool to integrate and deploy 5G small cells operated by the project to create 5G wireless networks for consumers and service providers.
To date, we have integrated a 5G small cell network and roaming technologies to help support a variety of medical apps and devices including remote GP triaging, video consultations, remote monitoring systems for pharmacists, wound care, an anxiety reduction app and more.
Part of a longstanding initiative in the region, this project is scheduled to complete in March 2022 with care-providers and neighbouring local authorities hungry to exploit its outcomes in their day-to-day work.
