Presentation abstract: IoT and 5G power up a smart airport

5G is the next step in the evolution of mobile communications infrastructure and it will enable new applications by offering higher connection speeds, greater capacity, improved reliability and lower latency. Public 5G services was launched in Hong Kong on 1 Apr 2020. Not only HKIA was one of the early adopters, our airport has decided to invest, build and operate an Enterprise 5G infrastructure to facilitate the airport community and mobile operators to run 5G services on the airport island.  
 
5G is a key enabler for the vision of smart airport. Use cases such as 4K cameras, robots, wearables, driverless vehicles, etc. will leverage this infrastructure to send timely information to back-end servers for analysis, to promptly react to live situation, and to make predictions. The mass deployment of IoT will supply sensing capabilities that were never before possible.  Together with our partners, we will reinvent the airport experience for our passengers and our workers.

Presentation abstract: Planning of a Smart Hospital 

CUHK Medical Centre (CUHKMC) is a private teaching hospital wholly owned by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). CUHKMC is founded on the social mission of providing quality healthcare to the public with affordable and transparent prices.

The Hospital is planned with extensive adoption of information technology to support its triple aim, i.e. achieving population health, enhancing patient experiences, and reducing financial burden to the patients. An integrated digital strategy is developed that defines the scope of a “Smart Hospital” with 3 essential components: (a) Smart Medicine - a fully digitalized electronic medical record system that support clinical decision making and population health; (b) Smart Care - close loop mobile applications that support doctors, nurses, and patients themselves to go through the patient journeys; (c) Smart Management - strategic adoption of Internet of Things to increase efficiency in the daily operation and management of the patient care and supporting services.
 
The presentation will highlight the complexities involved in the planning of a “Smart Hospital” and the lessons learned.
