Introduction
The healthcare IT market is continuously searching for new ways advanced technology can play a more impactful role in transforming healthcare delivery. 5G is the fifth generation of cellular wireless technology, which can offer massive connection power and fast internet speed for data transfer. Implementation of 5G technology accelerated the demand for various healthcare technologies such as the Internet of Medical Things, AR/VR, artificial intelligence (AI), remote medical learning, and remote patient monitoring to name a few. Integration of 5G network in existing infrastructure provides real-time data transfer of images, documents, and real-time videos for video-based medical consultations, to improve the quality of care. 5G opens entirely new horizons for telehealth, the technology that allows patients to connect virtually with doctors and other healthcare providers, communicating via real-time video or live chat. The use of telemedicine in the healthcare industry has been around for over a century. Since the introduction of long-distance communication methods such as the radio and the telephone, telemedicine has been used by doctors to assist patients in regions where medical personnel are scarce. As communication technology improved, so did telemedicine. The introduction of the Internet has drastically improved a person’s ability to receive medical treatment without visiting a healthcare facility.
Description
The service to be provided
Telemedicine in a global during COVID-19 season, Clinical encounters are being increasingly transitioned to telemedicine appointments to reduce PPE usage, improve access to care, reduce the burden on health care systems, and minimize the risk of direct person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 between patients as well as to providers.
We mainly focus on not emergency patients in Sri Lanka. Like Corona pandemic seasons, other patients have problems getting medical treatment in hospitals. This method enhanced the Safety of both healthcare parties and patients. In Sri Lanka, the percentage of older and child clinics are a very high percentage. Those age groups are always more prone to disease. Hence the risk of disease from this new system can prevent the risk of disease.
Advantages of this system
- No transportation time or costs.
- No need to take time off of work.
- Eliminate child or elder care issues.
- On-demand options.
- Access to Specialists.
- Less Chance of Catching a New Illness.
- Less Time in the Waiting Room.
- Better Health.
Why 5G is necessary to provide
Telehealth allows chronically ill patients to obtain critical healthcare when they might otherwise have difficulty leaving their homes to travel their doctors to receive care. As 5G promises to bring ultra-fast speeds with low latency, telehealth applications will improve dramatically. In the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, 5G eMBB technology will enable remote support of quality healthcare while reducing patient exposure to contagion by minimizing in-person visits to the doctor or healthcare facilities. For patients who can’t easily travel to their healthcare providers, 5G will allow the provider to visit them via natural-feeling telepresence systems. High-speed Internet access is vital for ensuring mobile health applications are utilized across the medical care spectrum. We use health-related equipment and its applications (real-time-based application). So we need continuous data transfer between service others. So we need a non-buffer very fast internet connection. Therefore, using 5G technology.
What 5G technologies will be essential in providing the particular service
The 5G network will have digital hubs designed to handle traffic flow. Sophisticated equipment will gauge alternative routes for data and decide which one is the most efficient given the time of day, information being delivered, and type of infrastructure that is needed. Most of these functions will be performed in the background and therefore will be invisible to the individual user. People will be free to focus on the usage, not the digital engine that powers the ecosystem.
Intelligent networks are a key aspect of defining 5G and will direct traffic and configure systems in ways that facilitate efficient navigation and decision-making. But 5G also will infuse intelligence throughout the network and the application of data analytics will be an explicit part of the services delivered. 5G will enable real-time aggregation and analysis, therefore allowing users to make sense of data in order to optimize and customize the capability of each application.
AI to predict diagonals
Machine learning is a valuable part of the emerging landscape. Artificial intelligence helps doctors make sense of complex databases. Increasingly, medical records combine structured data such as heart rates, blood pressure readings, and vital signs with unstructured text that needs to be analyzed through natural language processing. The latter can include text summaries of symptoms or imaging pictures from X-rays or CT scans. Machine learning can analyze unstructured data and keep the context” and provide “far-reaching implications for health care.
Data analytics and treatment
Trusted data analytics offer concrete advantages in digital medicine. The opportunity to mine health data will grow as digital infrastructure becomes more powerful and will help providers and patients get the information needed to make informed decisions. Indeed, having the ability to assess data in real time will enable rapid learning on treatment effects.
Wearable devices are helpful in treatment because they can send out medical alerts if the individual suffers an acute crisis or health emergency. A patient who falls and can’t get up can use such a device to summon help. Heart attack victims or those who are incapacitated by a stroke receive assistance from others with smartphones or wearable devices.
VR technology
VR is a technology that immerses a user in a computer-generated environment through a visual display and headphones which block out the real world. The visual display has position tracking so that when you move or turn your head, the computer-generated environment moves as if you were physically present within it. Virtual reality has been used for entertainment, education, and simulation, but there are new uses for this technology appearing as it matures. Currently, VR is being explored as a way to help people relieve stress, combat anxiety, and achieve a more peaceful or relaxed mental state. In a method known as therapeutic VR, users wear a VR headset and experience a simulation designed to calm their minds.
The idea of having surgery and spending time in the hospital can cause high levels of anxiety that can be dangerous. Decreased range of motion or functional recovery after orthopedic surgery, increased wound infections. The significant levels of pre-operative anxiety independently predicted a greater risk of death. Especially among heart patients. But now, leading unique research. project to reduce preoperative anxiety using virtual reality, With the use of 360-degree cameras, walking patients through all the steps they will experience before being anesthetized.
Patients in the study view it on this special headset and their anxiety levels are measured on a rating scale before and after surgery and actually to be able to see everything in 3D.
- VR as an empathy tool for doctors - Some hospital systems are using VR simulations as a way to help doctors better empathize with their patients. During these VR simulations, doctors experience having specific health conditions or being in certain real-life situations, such as being the target of verbal abuse in a domestic violence scenario.
- Relaxing patients with Medical VR - Have you, as a patient, ever had the feeling that time just stops in the hospital, there is nothing to do, you miss your family and friends and you are constantly worried about your condition? Anxiety while in hospital, the constant worry about an upcoming procedure, and the actual pain that one can suffer during or after a procedure are understandably taxing on anyone. VR is presenting itself as an enticing solution to help patients relax and suffer to a lesser extent in such situations.
- Real conferences with virtual reality for enhanced productivity of service.
- Availability - The need for network availability differs significantly among consumer health applications. The Internet is already sufficiently available for the distribution of health information to consumers and for exchanges of e-mail between patients and providers. Somewhat greater availability would be needed for remote monitoring and remote control operations, although most home monitoring devices and medical equipment could be designed to buffer enough data to overcome short lapses of connectivity.
IoT and Big data technology
- Evidence-based care - The exponential increase in the volume of healthcare data generated by IoT devices makes data processing very challenging. Big data can provide evidence-based care by aggregating data sets from diverse sources. Analysis of data can provide useful insights into detecting anomalies and providing appropriate treatments to patients.

Somewhat greater availability would be needed for remote monitoring and remote control operations, although most home monitoring devices and medical equipment could be designed to buffer enough data to overcome short lapses of connectivity.
- Self-learning and self-improvement - IoT sensors enable data collection, but IoT alone cannot provide rehabilitation treatments. Accurate and timely treatments can be made based on fast patient evaluation, and the development of rehabilitation procedures corresponding to the medical investigation. Many factors need to be considered to provide a precise treatment. Computer tools merely rely on the data collected by the sensors and past case studies, while self-learning techniques can adaptively analyze and recommend new treatment options. A few self-learning algorithms are suitable for data analysis and mining.
- Standardization - Various organizations (such as IEEE, IETF, ITU-T) have contributed to the deployment and standardization of IoT technologies. All new and emerging ideas should be integrated to form a global solution that helps build standardizations for the future Internet. future Internet is an extension of the existing one by integrating general things into wider networks. The standardization will enable the development of IoT-based healthcare systems.
- Privacy and security - IoT-based systems are useful as long as their users remain safe. In IoT systems, all types of data collection and mining are performed over the Internet. Thus, personal data can be accessed at various stages (during collection, transmission, and so on). Patients’ safety should be taken into consideration by preventing any form of tracking or illegal identification.
- Interactive reporting and visualization
What are the challenges in providing the service?
Data speed
A 5G network means that these large files can be transmitted quickly between doctors and hospitals, reducing the time that would otherwise be needed to move them across often under-powered legacy wired networks prone to cuts and other service interruption issues. The reduction in time that 5G brings means more timely diagnostics, second opinions, treatment starts, and adjustments since the medical data can be transmitted and consumed by doctors faster than ever before, whether at home or in the office. The switch to 5G also represents a long-term solution to the ever-rising need for bandwidth since planned 5G data speed increases are more clearly keeping pace with improvements in diagnostic and medical imaging systems requirements than wired networks other than fiber-based can.
Large data file in one patient
The healthcare industry produces massive amounts of data. A single patient can generate hundreds of gigabytes of data each day, from patient medical records to the large image files created by MRI, CAT, or PET scans.
Adding a high-speed 5G network to existing architectures can help quickly and reliably transport huge data files of medical imagery, which can improve both access to care and the quality of care.
Security and privacy
IoT devices can pose a threat to users’ security and privacy. Unauthorized access to IoT devices could create a serious risk to patients' health as well as to their private information. Connected gadgets including medical and mobile devices capture, aggregate, process, and transfer medical information to the cloud. The device layer is vulnerable to tag cloning, spoofing, RF jamming, and cloud polling. In cloud polling, traffic is redirected to allow command injections directly into a device through a man-in-the-middle attack. A direct connection attack involves the use of a service discovery protocol such as universal plug and play, or properties of Bluetooth low energy (BLE), to locate and target IoT devices.
Device communication
One of the major challenges to implementing smart or connected health is communication. Many devices now have sensors to collect data and they often communicate with the server in their own language. Each manufacturer has its own proprietary protocol, which means sensors made by different manufacturers cannot necessarily communicate with each other.
Collection and management of data
Digital health care that leverages IoT sensor devices faces several data management challenges. The data originates from medical sensors, which are worn or implanted inside the human body. Because the state of the human body is constantly changing, there is a continuous influx of data that is being produced. Furthermore, the captured data are consisting of various data formats.
Design and implementation based on multi-disciplinary knowledge
Digital health (including connected and smart health) is developed using expertise in many fields including embedded systems, network design, data analytics, and bioengineering. The PRR 4,2 102 design and implementation of such a heterogeneous system requires extensive knowledge in multi-disciplinary areas. The system also needs to evolve continuously to address constantly changing needs. Increasing adoption of advanced communication solutions in the healthcare industry, majorly in developing countries where health care systems are often unprepared to tackle the challenges of a growing elderly population, has raised the need for high-speed internet services in the healthcare sector. Hence, this augments the adoption rate of 5G services in the healthcare industry.
Ways of making the project a profitable business.
Smart pharmacy services and its transform methods
The pharmaceutical industry is also among those businesses that have taken a leap from the traditional way of attending to their customers’ needs and have adopted ways to fulfill their requirements through online order placement and home delivery of pharmaceutical products such as medicines, medical devices, personal care products, and supplements. Along with providing a wide range of products that can be easily purchased online and delivered within hours of order confirmation, this advancement comes with numerous other benefits as well.
- Ease Of Availability
- Online Pharmacy Delivery Service is the New Must
- Monthly Scheduled Deliveries And Refills
- Accessibility
- Expert Assistance
Healthcare equipment/smart home equipment companies-sensors innovation
By 2020, the 5G network is expected to support 50 billion connected devices and 212 billion connected sensors as well as enable access to 44 zettabytes (ZB) of data. This will range from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches, cars, machinery, appliances, and remote monitoring devices. Innovations in medical device technology will provide more medical gadgets to patients who can reliably measure and monitor their health from home. The entry included a sensor that fits into the palm of your hand and is as user-friendly as your smartphone, enabling patients to easily measure their health at home. This was a major advancement, but one sensor alone really isn’t enough. The combination of numerous patient Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices and sensors help doctors provide a complete health picture for their patients, leading to a personalized health treatment program.
Smart healthcare centers
Smart hospitals are those that optimize, redesign or build new clinical processes, management systems and potentially even infrastructure, enabled by underlying digitized networking infrastructure of interconnected assets, to provide a valuable service or insight that was not possible or available earlier, to achieve better patient care, experience, and operational efficiency.”
The smart hospital framework involves three essential layers – data, insight, and access. Data is being collected even today, although not necessarily from all systems in a hospital, but is not integrated together to derive ‘smart’ insight, which can be done by feeding it into analytics or machine learning software. This insight must be accessible to the user – a doctor, a nurse, facilities personnel, or any other stakeholder, through an interface including a desktop or a smartphone or similar handheld device, to empower them to make critical decisions faster, improving their efficiency
Data Analyzing software base companies
Telemedicine is increasingly being accepted and insurance companies and government-regulated health care programs are increasingly covering telemedicine services in their plans. As the healthcare industry experiences adequate growth, managing data across the industry like stand-alone EHRs is becoming increasingly complex. Managing data in the healthcare industry becomes a huge challenge for organizations and they require the healthcare IT Companies to manage this complexity. The presence of complex legacy systems means they are especially fragmented, hard to monitor, and harder to support and drive value. You need to be able to efficiently manage the growing risk while ensuring HIPAA compliance at all times. Custom Telemedicine Software Development Services

- Doctor on demand
Digital Scanning Centers
MRI, CAT, PET, etc., scan directly uploaded to doctors or medical centers. These scanning centers have performed special AI algorithms to detect diagonals. So quickly detect they have some kind of differences.
Medical student educations systems using VR
VR now allows more than just passively seeing an operation from the point of view of the surgeon. The technology is now being used to actually train aspiring surgeons and for surgeons to practice operations. Virtual reality could elevate the teaching and learning experience in medicine to a whole new level. Today, only a few students can peek over the shoulder of the surgeon during an operation
and it is challenging to learn the tricks of the trade via this method. With a virtual reality camera, surgeons can stream operations globally and allow medical students to actually be there in the OR using their VR goggles. Medical students at Case Western University are already being taught with the help of such devices as the HoloLens about the human anatomy, cadaver-free (albeit using the slightly different Mixed Reality technology).
