5G and the medical device industry
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 5G has been predominantly used in the medical devices industry in the field of telehealth. 5G-enabled sensors can be used for teleconferencing, allowing physicians to effectively monitor a patient's vital signs and provide accurate and effective treatments during calls. The low latency of 5G also allows real-time remote patient monitoring with the streaming and analysis of patient data from an array of medical devices. 5G-enabled remote surgery is also being explored, where doctors can perform procedures from a remote location and surgical feedback can be sent to the surgeon far more rapidly than with earlier technology.
On a larger scale, the increased speeds from 5G networks also increase hospital efficiency, as the technology is better equipped to quickly transfer ever-growing amounts of medical imagery, improving communication and data-sharing between departments, clinics, or hospitals.
