Celtic-Next Health 5G Project – Innovative clinical pilots
RedZinc played an active part in the Health 5G Celtic Next Eureka Cluster project from 2020 to 2021, piloting 3 new clinical uses of mobile video telemedicine across Sweden, Germany, and Turkey.
Description
HEALTH-5G is a pan European collaborative project for new 5G health applications, Emerging network technologies, including the next generation mobile technology (5G), will form the backbone of future healthcare digital transformation. 5G is a key enabling technology for the Internet of Things, Smart Pharmaceuticals, and Individualized Medicine. The aim of our project is to identify novel use cases of eHealth that take advantage of 5G capabilities, study and develop 5G enablers for the use cases, develop and validate actual eHealth solutions in real environments and real 5G test networks, and disseminate and exploit the results.
Objective
The aim of HEALTH-5G project is to refine the scenarios and use cases during the project together with partners to increase the societal, business, and scientific impacts of the project. RedZinc was invited into the HEALTH5G project because of our innovative health care applications for 5G.
Outcome
RedZinc has used the project support to expand our business in Sweden, Germany, and Turkey. RedZinc delivered 3 showcases and pilots in these countries. As a result of the project, we gained insights into 3 new clinical use cases for mobile video telemedicine (i) use of mobile video telemedicine for out of hours nurse support for frail elderly in Sweden; (ii) use of mobile video telemedicine for cardio ultrasound teaching in Germany; (iii) use of mobile video telemedicine for earthquake disaster recovery in Turkey. Based in pilot feedback from prospective customers in the project we have evolved our software real time video stack in terms of features, stability and robustness. We have developed new cameras based on partner feedback. We are appreciative of Enterprise Ireland and Dublin City Council LEO for support and encouragement to deliver on the project and achieve these results.
The company received support from Dublin City Council Local Enterprise Office (LEO) and Enterprise Ireland Agile project support.

5G Heart – Innovative digital use cases in healthcare, transport & aquaculture
5G-HEART is a €14.3m EU funded public private private partnership project for new 5G use cases. The project bid was co-lead by RedZinc, Telenor, Philips and VTT. RedZinc has a contract with the 5GHEART project to deliver pilots based on wearable video in Norway, Finland and Netherlands.
Wearable video for Emergency Services, Netherlands
Today the medical manager can provide ‘voice only’ support to the paramedic with the remote patient.
In this use case, the ‘in-field’ paramedics used BlueEye wearable video to send real-time point-of-view video and vital patient data to remote medical manager for support and consultation.
Outcomes
At the end of the pilot, it was concluded that real-time point-of-view video and vital patient data significantly improves remote patient assessment. During the pilot, the medical manager said
“Ambulance services are striving for higher quality and impact in pre-hospital healthcare, preferably with more efficiency. We wish to progressively improve pre-hospital triage, so it is important to make correct and timely decisions. These results are a promising start to help us get there.”

Wearable video for Medical education, Finland
For Oulu University Hospital, medical education had stalled due to COVID-19 pandemic. Oulu Hospital used BlueEye Wearable Video to deliver paediatrics bedside tutorials to remote students via real-time point-of-view video facilitated by BlueEye Handsfree.
Outcomes
BlueEye enables Oulu University Hospital to deliver medical tutorials to remote students. In a survey, more than 80% students out of 27 participants voted that teaching with BlueEye wearable video could partly or wholly replace traditional face-to-face teaching. During the pilot, a medical professor said
“Pandemic has challenged the medical education as traditional bedside sessions and direct patient contacts need to be minimised. Group sessions and ward rounds are problematic in hospitals. New technologies like real-time wearable video system provide promising solution and provide high quality patient centric education”
Wearable video for Urban Search and Rescue, Norway
Oslo Ambulance service identified several use cases where BlueEye Wearable Video could help including situational assessment for Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), check list management for hazard management, single vehicle paramedic support, oncology support, special needs support, pain relieve drug support.
Outcomes
The pilot run on Urban Search & Rescue use case has concluded successfully. BlueEye wearable video enabled the remote incident commander to immerse themselves in the situation. This enhanced their situational awareness and optimised decision making. Also, real-time support from remote commander increased the searcher’s confidence.
One of the incident commanders during the pilot said
“The use of video is the future. I was able to comprehend the situation from home”
