November 24, 2024 marked the successful conclusion of the 3-day 12th HealthWorld Hospital Management Conference, alongside the National Health Management Conference (Haikou) and High-Quality Development Conference for County-level Medical Communities in Haikou, Hainan Province. Centered on the theme “Consolidating the Health Foundation for Chinese Modernization” and upholding the tenet of “Open Conference, Co-creation and Win-win Outcomes”, the event was jointly organized by HealthWorld together with 36 medical and academic institutions and over 160 exhibitors. It delivered an influential industry summit featuring a full agenda, distinct value propositions, fruitful outcomes, integrated exhibition and conference arrangements, as well as openness to innovation.
The conference adopted a “three-in-one” integrated framework, encompassing four keynote forums and 56 sub-forums. More than 500 leaders in healthcare shared insightful expertise. Over 300 initiatives for patient experience improvement competed in evaluations, and more than 200 preferred solutions supported hospitals in quality and efficiency enhancement. A series of ceremonies and events were held during the conference, including the Grand Finals and Award Ceremony of the 9th National Hospital Competition for Improved Medical Services, the Honor Ceremony for the 8th China Hospital Management Awards, the Golden Ruyi Preferred Solutions Award Ceremony, and the collection & promotion of model cases for the “High-Quality Services for Grassroots Healthcare” initiative. The summit attracted over 6,000 healthcare professionals for attendance and exhibition visits.
At this prestigious gathering bringing together top minds in healthcare, Ocamar was awarded the Third Prize for Advancement in Patient Experience under the Golden Ruyi Preferred Solutions Selection for its cutting-edge IoT Smart Ward Solution, recognizing the company’s proactive exploration and practices in smart healthcare. This accolade not only demonstrates Ocamar’s innovation capacity within smart healthcare, but also reflects its profound care and relentless pursuit of superior patient experience.
Ocamar’s IoT Smart Ward Solution is built upon the All-Network® Distributed Access Platform, adopting an innovative “1+N” design concept: one unified IoT network supporting N varieties of IoT applications. This architecture ensures unified and efficient network infrastructure deployment, while offering hospitals flexible access to diverse IoT applications.
The distributed access platform operates across the full frequency spectrum from 400MHz to 7125MHz. It supports multiple wireless communication protocols including Wi-Fi 6, ZigBee, LoRa, LTE Cat1, NB-IoT, BLE, RFID, WMTS and carrier 5G, with reserved upgrade compatibility for Wi-Fi 7 and carrier 6G networks, laying a solid foundation for future technological iteration and upgrades.
Beyond robust network infrastructure, the solution boasts powerful integration and scalability at the IoT application layer. Open interfaces for third-party IoT systems are available. Hospitals can deploy various IoT applications in phases according to business demands without constructing separate independent networks, eliminating redundant infrastructure and resource waste.
Furthermore, the solution supports extended IoT positioning networks. BLE gateways are integrated into distributed access micro-stations to enable room-level positioning, empowering hospitals with precise asset management and personnel tracking capabilities.
Within smart wards, IoT devices collect data covering clinical infusion monitoring, vital signs, ward environmental parameters, behavioral management, and medical asset administration. Intelligent analytics and management strengthen communication among doctors, nurses and patients, helping hospitals improve medical quality control, streamline workflows and boost operational efficiency. Integrated smart interactive systems also deliver more convenient and comfortable medical experiences for patients.
Notably, the platform supports 5G access. Carrier 5G base stations can be connected to the distributed access platform, enabling Wi-Fi, IoT sensor networks, positioning networks and 5G to share a unified foundational infrastructure. This delivers a more efficient and stable communication environment for hospitals. The innovative design accelerates internal data transmission speed and quality, and provides strong backing for remote collaboration and resource sharing between hospitals and external medical institutions.
To date, Ocamar’s Smart Ward Solution has been implemented in numerous medical institutions, including Yangchunhu Campus of Wuhan Central Hospital, Ruijin Hospital East Campus Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, West China Xiamen Hospital (Research Institute) of Sichuan University, Fujian Maternity Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital), and Xiushui No.1 People’s Hospital. The solution has achieved remarkable practical results and pioneered a new development model for hospital smart transformation.
As healthcare draws growing public attention worldwide, leveraging technology to elevate patient experience has become an essential mission for every medical technology enterprise. Ocamar consistently prioritizes patient experience and strives to deliver higher-quality medical services through technological innovation.
Looking ahead, Ocamar will uphold its corporate mission: “Technology Improves Life, Wisdom Serves Healthcare”. The company will deepen technological innovation, optimize solutions and continuously expand the application boundaries of smart healthcare. We believe that joint efforts by outstanding enterprises such as Ocamar will enable more humanized and intelligent medical services in the future, contributing greater momentum to advancing the Healthy China Initiative.
