Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of real-time remote programming for cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) follow-up through the 5G cloud technology support platform (5G-CTP). The patient's side is equipped with a CIED programmer, a 5G remote support terminal, and a physician; the remote's side is equipped with a tablet installed with a cloud follow-up APP, as well as a follow-up physician (clinical device specialist). The physician initials the cloud follow-up by externally connecting the 5G remote support terminal to the programmer, and putting the wand to the patient's device. When confirming the communication is stable, the physician gets in contact with the follow-up physician and gives a briefing. Follow-up physician logs into the cloud follow-up APP to establish a remote connection with the 5G remote support terminal on the patient's side. Then he has complete control of the programmer, and is able to interrogate, test, and reprogram the device remotely as needed. The whole remote service system is deployed on the cloud server with multilayer protection, including firewalls, customized antivirus, and vulnerability scanning, along with intrusion detection.
