The new services enabled by the Edge Computing network architecture, associated with IoT devices, can be enhanced by the broad connectivity offered by Private 4G/5G Networks, enabling the introduction of the set of technologies known as Industry 4.0.
The Digital Transformation of a hospital system can be implemented by combining the strengths of these new solutions. Simultaneously, internally obtained data is processed and formatted using Big Data techniques, analyzed and understood with Data Analytics, and solutions are found through AI and ML.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated technology investments worldwide. Simultaneously, this scenario drove the growth of 5G network infrastructure focused on healthcare solutions during the 2019-2022 period.
In Europe, Vodafone deployed 5G-connected ambulances to help paramedics maintain constant contact with emergency management centers and doctors. As a result, hospital teams are equipped with patient information and symptoms in advance. In China, at the height of COVID-19, hospitals, ambulances, and health centers connected to transmit voice, data, and video via 5G. Similar cases occurred globally.
5G is creating a revolution due to its potential to decrease latency, enable high-speed data transfers, and allow the deployment of a range of new technologies — potentially saving the healthcare sector up to $94 billion by 2030.
5G is an evolving standard. The initial version was finalized with the freezing of Release 15 in 2019, and new features were incorporated in Releases 16 and 17 between 2020 and 2022. Further enhancements and new features will be part of Release 18.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defined three major groups of use cases for 5G, known as IMT-2020:
Key Requirements:
5G and Telemedicine: Facilitates high-resolution real-time calls and high-speed file transfers, especially critical for rural areas.
Augmented Reality (AR) in Health: 5G overcomes the 50-80ms lag of 4G that causes “motion sickness” in AR users, enabling tools like HoloLens for paramedics to access medical records instantly.
Connected 5G Ambulance: Paramedics can share vital signs and 4K video with the hospital team in real-time, allowing doctors to advise on treatment remotely during transit.
Remote Patient Monitoring: High bandwidth allows live streaming of a patient’s condition and real-time vital sign monitoring from their homes.
5G Remote Surgery: 5G connectivity enables specialists to advise surgical teams in real-time or even perform robotic-assisted procedures with minimal latency.
Near Real-Time Data Access: Data from sensors is transformed into actionable insights to streamline decisions and personalize care.
End-to-End Data Security: A defense-in-depth approach ensures patient privacy and industry compliance (such as LGPD/GDPR).
Connected Care: Seamless integration between specialized clinics, primary care providers, and hospitals.
The 5G healthcare market is projected to reach $3.67 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 76.3%. Despite these technologies being mature, many entrepreneurs still need “evangelization” to fully understand these potentials.
