As a niche segment of the display market, medical display has not received much attention from the industry in the past period of time. However, the recent new coronavirus raid, with the demand for smart medical care and the blessing of the 5G era, the medical display, especially the LED display in the medical application market, has received great attention, and the urgent need is expected to accelerate development.
We know that, after years of technology accumulation and market expansion, LED displays have completed a major transformation from outdoors to indoors, especially the maturity of small pitch, HDR, 3D and touch technology, which makes it possible for the medical display field. A broader space for play.
Let’s first take a look at the specific situation of the current medical display. The scope of medical display is actually quite broad, including medical display, medical public display, medical consultation screen, remote diagnosis and treatment, medical LED 3D screen, emergency rescue visualization, etc. Next, let’s take a look at the demand characteristics and possible opportunities of these scenarios. Medical display: short-term LCD screen can still meet demand
At present, medical displays are mainly used for real-time medical image display. They have high requirements for screen resolution, grayscale and brightness, but there is little demand for large screen sizes. LCD screens are mostly used in the market. “Feng” and “Jusha” are representative brands. In the short term, medical displays are not a good substitute for LED displays.
Medical Affairs Open Screen: LED display screen grows steadily and gradually
As an indispensable publicity carrier in the hospital’s outpatient hall, the medical public display screen has rich and diverse functions. For example, it can be used to display the flow chart of hospital procedures, the charging standards of inspection and surgery, the location distribution map and function introduction of various hospitals The name and price of medicines play a role in the convenience of the public; at the same time, it can also promote relevant laws and regulations, popularize medical and health knowledge, broadcast public service advertisements, etc., strengthen the communication between doctors and patients, and create a good medical environment.
The application of LED display in medical public display has become more popular. As the LED display moves toward a smaller pitch, the display pixel is higher and the image is clearer; and the improvement of low brightness, high gray, and HDR technology makes the picture quality Steadily improve. LED display screens will be more and more suitable for medical places, which is convenient for patients and serves patients, while avoiding the light source to cause irritation.
Medical LED 3D screen: or the standard configuration of the top three hospitals in the future
It is worth noting that the use of medical LED display screens will not be limited to the medical process, and its role in promoting academic exchanges is also obvious. In many large-scale medical exchange forums and summits in China, there are often live surgical broadcasts or classic surgical case broadcasts. The medical LED 3D screen with 3D display and touch functions can allow the live audience to learn cutting-edge surgical skills more closely. Improve the level of medical skills.
At the 20th Beijing International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Forum and Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Week of the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital held in 2019, the conference used Unilumin UTV-3D medical screen for the first time to conduct live robot 3D surgery and 3D laparoscopic surgery Live. Unilumin UTV-3D medical screen uses the domestic leading polarized 3D-LED technology, with its vivid picture quality, super wide color gamut, 10Bit depth, high brightness (10 times that of traditional projection equipment), no flicker, no vertigo, and health. Outstanding performance such as eye protection clearly demonstrated the most cutting-edge surgical techniques of the current hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery and the exquisite surgical skills of the doctors for the audience.
In daily applications, Unilumin UTV-3D medical screen can not only use the three-dimensional scene and in-depth information brought by 3D to let medical workers feel the immersive operation process, better recognize the lesion, shorten the learning time, and more Bringing a subversive change to medical education and surgical broadcasting technology, has won high praise from medical experts at home and abroad.
At present, academic exchanges between famous hospitals are very frequent, both domestically and internationally. As an important place for academic exchanges inside and outside the hospital, regional imaging centers have become an indispensable existence. In the future, the use of medical LED 3D screens in the regional imaging centers of hospitals will become the standard configuration of domestic top three hospitals.
Medical consultation screen: LCD screen is difficult to meet demand, and LED screen is urgently needed to help upgrade
There is also a medical consultation screen that is used very frequently in hospitals. This screen is used when multiple doctors jointly study the condition, discuss the diagnosis results, and propose treatment plans. At the same time, the medical consultation screen plays a vital role in medical teaching and training of medical personnel. At present, a new group of medical staff need to observe and learn at the surgical site, which has a negative impact on the surgical hygiene environment and the treatment risks of patients. Online learning through the large-screen consultation and live broadcast of the surgery process will become the new normal. In particular, if the treatment process of the new crown pneumonia epidemic can be studied and discussed through the screen, the infection rate will be reduced to a certain extent.
Today, the medical consultation screens on the market are still dominated by LCD screens. The largest integrated screen size is about 100 inches. The larger size needs to be realized by splicing multiple small-size LCD screens. The existence of seams is extremely rigorous for medical treatment. , For precise and sensitive industries, the disadvantages are extremely prominent. In addition, with the increase in the use frequency of consultation screens by hospitals and the increase in demand for medical personnel reserves, LCD screens have been unable to meet the demand.
In recent years, LED displays have been catching up with LCDs in terms of high resolution, low brightness and high gray, HDR, and response speed. The advantages of its large size and seamless splicing have emerged. Especially when the dot pitch reaches the scale of P0.9, the LED display screen has a larger size and better integration than LCD, which can make all the details of medical images presented, which can help doctors improve diagnosis The accuracy of this can also accelerate the learning and growth of new medical personnel. It is believed that with the continuous increase in the volume of small-pitch products and the gradual reduction in costs, it is not far in the future for LED displays to enter the general medical consultation screen. Remote diagnosis and treatment screen: a new round of incremental market for LED displays. If the application of LED displays in the above-mentioned medical display products is not enough to bring vibrations, then the remote consultation technology blessed by 5G will bring about a revolution in the medical industry , LED display screen is playing an important role as a display terminal. Especially from this epidemic, we can see that due to the nature of infection, remote consultation has become particularly urgent and urgent, which can greatly improve the efficiency of assistance between doctors and nurses in various regions, and it is also very helpful for leaders to fully understand the details of the CDC. At the same time, it can greatly reduce the infection caused by aggregation. In fact, telemedicine services in Europe and the United States have become more mature. According to the “White Paper on Telemedicine Service Application” released by Fair Health, the popularity of telemedicine services in the United States has increased by nearly 674% from 2012 to 2017, but more tend to be Consultation of diseases and health issues does not require high terminal display. Unlike the United States, domestic telemedicine strives to achieve remote diagnosis by combining 5G ultra-high-speed signal transmission and ultra-high-definition display technology, and play its role in the face of major diseases and complex operations to alleviate the imbalance of domestic medical resources.
According to Dr. Sun Liping, a domestic ultrasound expert: Even a simple ultrasound screening of abdominal organs, a single patient will produce up to 2 GB of ultrasound image data, and it is still a dynamic image, which is consistent with long-distance transmission. Delay control has extremely high requirements. The loss of any frame of the ultrasound image during transmission may cause serious consequences of misdiagnosis. In addition, if the remote transmission of ultrasound images is used to guide interventional therapy, the delay will also affect the safety of surgery. And 5G technology and high-resolution, fast-responding display technology have solved these problems. As of the end of 2017, there were 1,360 tertiary A hospitals in mainland China. It is assumed that in the next ten years, the main outpatient departments of tertiary hospitals in China will introduce a new remote consultation system, which will increase the demand for small-pitch LED displays. Quite impressive. Finally, 120 emergency rescue visualization: the important direction of small-pitch LED screens
In the 120 emergency rescue command center, it is necessary to arrange the direction of the ambulance, priority dispatching, etc. based on the number of calls received by 120, the number of vehicles before the hospital, and the number of patients treated. The traditional dispatching command system is mostly “isolated construction”. Before the construction, there was no unified design for software and hardware. And combined with small-pitch LED screen, splicing processor, distributed and seat control system, visual rendering workstation, emergency rescue ultra-high score visual command platform software, control management software, multimedia interactive platform software, software and hardware integrated emergency rescue visualization integration solution The plan breaks the limitations of the previous “business island construction”, and the integrated visual command and dispatch system presented in one-stop will bring unprecedented changes to emergency command. In June of this year, Unilumin, formerly a supplier of display control products, appeared in front of the public as an emergency rescue solution service provider. After the outbreak, on February 8, the Ningxia 120 Command and Dispatching Center, supported by Unilumin’s emergency rescue visualization solution, calculated that from 8:00 on January 22 to 8:00 on February 6, the total number of calls received by Ningxia 120 was 15,193. 3,727 times were accepted, 3547 times were dispatched, 3148 times were effective, and 3349 people were treated. Outstanding performance in improving the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control. It monitors the dynamics of the local epidemic situation, major epidemic events, emergency personnel on duty, emergency supplies, and medical unit beds in real-time 7×24 hours, providing the latest epidemic prevention and control command center in real time. The data and progress have effectively improved the efficiency of local disease control centers, medical institutions, and government epidemic prevention and control. The latest news shows that Unilumin also launched a visualization solution specifically for the new coronavirus, hoping to provide the visual analysis results of the epidemic situation to the epidemic prevention and control headquarters as soon as possible to help improve the quality and efficiency of epidemic prevention and control.
to sum up
The market prospects of medical displays are not just “wishful thinking” of the medical industry. It also depends on the current level of development of display technology. In general, in addition to medical displays, LED self-luminous display technology is giving full play to its advantages in applications such as medical public display screens, medical consultation screens, remote consultations, medical LED 3D screens, and emergency rescue visualization. In particular, remote consultation and emergency rescue visualization programs, as two high-profile new medical display projects, are also very conducive to the exchange, discussion, and specific consultation plans or rescue arrangements for the epidemic, such as domestic displays such as Unilumin Screen companies are also continuing to follow up. According to public sources, Unilumin Technology has related layouts in these two fields, combined with the medical public display screens that have been involved before, and after Barco’s previous shareholding, combined with Barco’s advantages in medical visualization products and solutions. Ming Technology is expected to take the lead in making achievements in the field of smart medical care. With the advent of smart medical care and 5G communications, at the critical moment when the new crown pneumonia strikes, domestic display companies are actively playing their strengths and actively responding to cooperation, whether it is for the development and progress of the medical industry or for the increase in the display market All of them are very helpful.
