MIRACLE-5

Miracle-5: Mixed-Reality Integrated Remote Assistance and Communication in 5G-Enabled Local Environments

The project aims to evaluate the performance of modern 5G campus networks for XR-based medical applications. The objective to examine collaborative XR-based telemedicine from a technological and user-centric standpoint, to assess its effectiveness, and suitability for clinical use. To achieve this, a technology demonstrator will be designed and developed to enable testing of an XR-telemedicine application over 5G campus networks. The resulting application will be evaluated by various end-users from relevant clinical fields. Anticipated challenges are synchronization of data coupled with low latency for the targeted cloud and edge-cloud use cases. The partnership between LeFx and ICCAS combines cutting-edge XR visualization with profound experience in campus networks based on 5G technologies for medical applications. Collaboration with Telefonica further enables the employment of modern managed service networks, which can be used in addition to ICCAS’s own 5G campus network. These networks will be managed and modified for the intended XR applications. Medical use cases for the technological demonstrator will be developed and tested by a consortium of clinical experts from Helios Parkkankenhaus Leipzig and the Universitätsklinik Leipzig. The UML contributes its extensive medical expertise through collaboration with specialized clinics, its own expertise with the development of AR/XR applications, as well as experience in establishing and operating 5G campus networks.
