This project is a collaboration between Jan Yperman Hospital, E-BO Enterprises, POM West Flanders, Orange Belgium, KU Leuven Campus Brugge and Howest. The technology also opens the door to further innovations in healthcare, such as patient monitoring remotely and medical transport with drones.

“With this step we strengthen the Westhoek as a digital pioneer,” says Jean de Bethune, chairman of Pom West-Vlaanderen. The 5G-Ziekwagen not only makes emergency care more efficient, but can also save lives.
