5G Enabled Healthcare
Overview
The purpose of the MDIC 5G Enabled Healthcare initiative was to gather ideas that would facilitate the incorporation of 5G into existing healthcare technology as well as the future development of novel medical device technology based on 5G, while ensuring patient safety, privacy, and device security.
Landscape Analysis of 5G in Healthcare Report
The Landscape Analysis of 5G in Healthcare surveys the role of 5G connectivity in current and future applications within the healthcare continuum of care. The report provides an overview of 5G technology along with several healthcare use cases, such as 5G-enabled simulation with extended reality, 5G-enabled robotics, mobile units, and remote care. Key challenges and knowledge gaps identified must be addressed to deliver the benefits of 5G in healthcare more safely to patients.
Key topics covered in the report include:
- 5G-enabled simulation with extended reality (XR)
- 5G-enabled robotics, remote surgical robots
- Mobile units, remote care, and telemedicine
- Supply chain and cost
- Network coverage
- Ongoing QoS monitoring
- Communication Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Lack of evaluation methods for device functions enabled by 5G
- Roles, responsibilities and service level agreements
- Electromagnetic environment and wireless coexistence
- 5G cybersecurity and privacy considerations.
