Building a Mobile Stroke Unit Based on 5G Technology – A Study Protocol

Background: In-time treatment of acute stroke is critical to saving people’s lives and improving the quality of post-stroke life. A mobile stroke unit (MSU) with fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks strengthens the interaction of patient information and healthcare resources, thereby reducing respon...
