Press ReleaseNokia, Fraunhofer HHI and Charité to collaborate on wireless sensing solutions for healthcare The collaboration will explore how wireless technologies could be applied to non-invasive medical monitoring solutionsSensing networks using the sub-THz frequencies could detect patients’ heartbeats and regulatory rates, providing continuous monitoring of vital signs as they moved throughout a hospital 17 December 2024Espoo, Finland – Nokia announced today that it has launched a research initiative with Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin to investigate the use of wireless sensing technologies in medical applications.
Wireless sensing is a fundamental component of our long-term 6G vision, but if we can apply these same concepts to creating better healthcare solutions, then we’ve produced even more benefit for society.” Professor Sascha Treskatsch, Head of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Campus Benjamin Franklin, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, said: "We need to have more-flexible and less-invasive monitoring solutions, which can easily be integrated in daily life and incorporated into hospitals’ information systems.” Professor Slawomir Stanczak, Head of the Wireless Communications and Networks Department at Fraunhofer HHI and Head of the Network information Theory Group at Technische Universität Berlin, said: "Sub-THz technology has enormous potential to revolutionize medicine.
Nokia Bell Labs, Fraunhofer HHI and Charité are jointly exploring how sensing networks utilizing sub-THz frequencies could make extremely high-resolution spatial scans in hospital settings to keep track of patients’ vital signs.
