LONDON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The global outbreak of the respiratory coronavirus disease COVID-19 has put healthcare systems across the globe under tremendous pressure and highlights the urgent need to advance toward smart healthcare systems. COVID-19 has also presented the perfect application scenario for the deployment of 5G networks in hospitals, doctors’ practices, and social care environments. In line with this, global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research forecasts that by 2026, 5G will generate US$399.8 million in revenues in the healthcare domain with a total of 4.6 million 5G connections by 2026.

«These numbers underscore the huge momentum that we see for 5G adoption in the healthcare domain,» says Leo Gergs, Research Analyst for 5G Markets at ABI Research. «By providing enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low latency, and massive machine type communication, 5G will be an important building block for smarter and more efficient healthcare systems.»

Having realized the importance of modernizing healthcare infrastructure, the COVID-19 outbreak has accelerated 5G network deployment in hospitals especially in the hardest hit regions, such as China. By providing sufficient bandwidth through enhanced mobile broadband capabilities, the deployment of a 5G network allowed the introduction of remote diagnostic and consultation facilities within hospitals in China, to prevent patients potentially infected with COVID-19 from having to leave their house to get medical consultation and a preliminary diagnosis. «By enabling remote consultation, 5G significantly contributed to the reduction of COVID-19 infection rates and therefore prevented countless numbers of lives lost in China,» Gergs explains.

In the longer term, 5G will transform the healthcare sector even more profoundly than remote diagnostics and consultations. By enabling powerful bandwidth combined with latencies of below 10 milliseconds, 5G will be the breeding ground for technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in the healthcare environment. Furthermore, 5G will allow the widespread deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which will transform current manual processes into smartly automated workflows.

«Despite the tremendous opportunities that 5G brings to the healthcare domain, particularly through the operation of private cellular networks, network operators and infrastructure vendors need to understand, that these deployment projects do not happen overnight,» Gergs points out. «Rather, it needs the consolidated effort of network operators and infrastructure vendors to develop innovative business models based on managed services instead of just selling connectivity.» ABI Research forecasts that by 2026, the majority of 5G revenues will be generated by a combination of managed services, while only 45% of revenues will come from monetizing connections. «In order to be successful in the healthcare domain, telco monetizing strategies need to reflect this change to preserve their spot in the 5G value chain,» concludes Gergs.

These findings are from ABI Research’s 5G in Healthcare application analysis report. This report is part of the company’s 5G Markets research service, which includes research, data, and analyst insights. Based on extensive primary interviews, Application Analysis reports present in-depth analysis on key market trends and factors for a specific technology.

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Gibraltar Technologies (GT), a digital solutions company with offices in the Middle East, today announced the launch of Wai-Eye, an AI powered mobile app designed to equip schools to meet the new COVID-19 health and safety protocols set by KHDA and Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), with other authorities in the region likely to follow suit. This innovation leverages the school’s existing CCTV infrastructure to capture, analyze and generate real-time data that will help maintain control over operations including Entry, Pick-up and school visit procedures, Screening and contact tracing, Hygiene, Physical distancing arrangements and School transportation.

Commenting on the motivations behind what triggered the development of Wai-Eye, prominent Emirati philanthropist, Head of Board at GT and Chairman of Al Otaiba Group of Companies Ahmed Khalaf Al Otaiba said, «The Founding Father of our country, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was the first to prioritize education because he strongly believed it was an important catalyst to building a modern nation. Following in his path, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa has continued to support education development projects. And now, during this crisis, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed stressed the importance of ensuring the continuity of education as a national duty. This technological innovation is our way of supporting the UAE government’s education drive and helping schools reopen responsibly.»

Over and above the basics of accurately monitoring mask usage, physical distancing and space occupancy, GT’s R&D Lab, the creators of this plug-and-play App, have also integrated facial recognition to facilitate automated school attendance, contactless door access, secure child pick up and contact tracing. 

Talking about the technology, Khadeer Peer Shariff, CEO & Executive Director of GT, said, «Getting future ready is at the heart of our vision. Over the last 2 years our R&D Labs have been testing out various technology-enabled solutions. We were already ahead of the curve in AI technology so when this unprecedented situation presented itself, we were able to respond quickly with a comprehensive tailor-made, cost-effective and easy to deploy solution.»

Customizable to the needs of the school, Wai-Eye can be set up to generate Compliance and Monitoring reports. Although primarily designed for the use of school authorities and support staff, administrators can also choose to offer access to parents to get alerts on authorized child pick up and estimated time of arrival of school bus via GPS tracking.

«In a bid to improve the accuracy of operations like contact tracing, mask detection and occupancy management, schools are currently on the look out for automated data driven solutions. This is where Wai-Eye comes in. We have already started working with school leaders and administrators to help implement their Readiness Plans in time to welcome children back to a safer environment in September,» enthused Shariff.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Small and midsize cities are home to twice as many Americans as large cities and face many of the same health disparities However, they often do not receive the same attention or resources. A new report by researchers in the Department of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service examining 719 small and midsize cities across the United States paints a picture of uneven economic growth and recovery, growing income inequality and poverty, and excessively high rent burden in nearly every city examined.

To better understand the health and equity trends in small and midsize cities specifically, researchers created a first-of-its-kind, health-focused typology for the 719 U.S. cities with populations 50,000 to 500,000. This new «City Types» framework groups cities into 10 unique types based on changes in population, household poverty, life expectancy, manufacturing sector employment, income inequality, and other factors that drive health—using data from 2000 to 2017, and tracked changes over time.

The City Types research builds on the health data for cities available on the City Health Dashboard, a free, online resource created by the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Wagner team, and supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that provides community-level health, social and economic data for over 750 cities across the U.S. Careful examination of these new City Types shows that race and poverty affect the opportunities for health for residents in small and midsize cities. And as racial and economic disparities widened over time, so have health disparities. 

«The fact that poverty, rent burden and income inequality grew over time across all City Types underscores the urgency with which city leaders must address the drivers of inequity,» says Marc N. Gourevitch, MD, MPH, the Muriel G and George W. Singer Professor and chair of the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone, and principal architect of the City Health Dashboard. «Bold policy action is needed to overcome the legacy of disinvestment and structural racism that is reflected in this report.»

Given that the U.S. is now in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, accompanied by the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Gourevitch warns that inequities faced by those living in small and midsize cities will be further exacerbated without swift and tailored interventions.  

Last month, the City Health Dashboard launched a city-oriented COVID Local Risk Index to help municipal leaders identify neighborhoods with populations at higher risk of 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) infection and more severe COVID illness by synthesizing key risk factors including race/ethnicity, age, household crowding, poverty and underlying health conditions like diabetes and obesity. In using this new City Types framework to understand COVID risk, the researchers also found that Types with high local risk for COVID tend to also have higher rates of child poverty and shorter life expectancies.

Understanding America’s Small and Midsize Cities: Key Findings

Using the typology framework, the research team identified the following City Types: Emerging Cities; Small Stable-Size Cities; Big Metro Exurbs; Smaller Commuter Suburbs; Diverse Ring Cities; Latino-Predominant Enclaves; Working Towns; Regional Hubs; Small Industrial-Legacy Cities, and College Cities. (See Summary of City Types.)

Additional findings from the report include:

• Poverty, rent burden (renters spending more than 30 percent of their annual income on housing), and income inequality grew across all City Types. The proportion of rent-burdened households increased for nearly all cities, from an overall average of 41 percent of renters in 2000 to 52 percent of renters in 2017. The median income for non-Hispanic Black households in 2000 was 13 percent lower than that of non-Hispanic White households; by 2017 that gap grew to 28 percent. But some city types, including Working Towns and Regional Hubs, had significantly larger Black-White income gaps. In those city types, Black households earned 41 percent and 46 percent less than their White counterparts, respectively.
• Wealth and better health outcomes are concentrated in city types that are predominantly white. The two city types with large low-income and large Black populations (Regional Hubs and Small Industrial-Legacy Cities) had the highest burdens of disease and mortality. On average, these more impoverished city types also had the greatest income inequality and life expectancy gaps between neighborhoods within cities, averaging 10 years.
• Region and proximity to bigger cities drive local socioeconomic disparities. High-poverty cities located near the largest U.S. cities tend to have better health outcomes compared to other peer cities with high poverty.

«The City Health Dashboard’s new City Type framework gives city leaders, policymakers and other stakeholders unique insight into what influences health and well-being in their communities,» said George Hobor, PhD, program officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. «With this new typology and the data around it, decision makers can identify health trends and the drivers of those trends within their cities and across peer cities. We believe that can lead to greater opportunities to improve health for all,» says Hobor.

Data used in the report has been incorporated into the City Health Dashboard, along with a new filter to easily find and compare measures among peer cities. Explore your city and important drivers of health at www.cityhealthdashboard.com/CityTypes.   

«COVID-19 has exposed longstanding health disparities in our country. We can no longer afford to ignore these issues or the policies that created them,» said Adrian Perkins, Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana. «As this report illustrates, we must break through systems of racial injustice in order to build more equitable, thriving communities.»

Register for a webinar at 2pm ET on Thursday, August 6 to explore the City Health Dashboard’s new health-focused framework for more than 700 small and midsize U.S. cities. Learn how city leaders and their partners are using the Dashboard to identify local health trends within and across City Types, understand how health disparities in their communities are driven by social factors like income inequality and rent burden, and learn about potential solutions to improve health for all.

About the City Health Dashboard

More than 80 percent of U.S. residents live in urban areas. However, until recently, few measures have been available for cities to assess health, the factors that shape it, and the drivers of health equity in their communities. The City Health Dashboard provides city leaders with an array of regularly refreshed data to support health policies and equity-related decision-making.

With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the City Health Dashboard was developed by NYU Grossman School of Medicine, in partnership with NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the National Resource Network, ICMA, and the National League of Cities. The website launched in 2018 to offer data on over 35 measures for the 500 largest U.S. cities—those with populations of about 66,000 or more—representing approximately one third of the U.S. population. In May 2020, the Dashboard expanded to smaller cities – now covering over 750 cities with population 50,000 and larger. Equipped with these data, local leaders have a clearer picture of the challenges facing their communities and how to address them.
