Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, medical technology became essential for keeping healthcare running when other industries had to close.
Cellular network technology, particularly 5G, has been a critical enabler in running medical services during and after the pandemic. To prepare for the inevitably increased digital demands ahead, hospital and health system administrators are assessing private 5G networks. With download and upload speeds faster than 4G, 5G-backed medical technologies have supported significant advancements, such as the facilitation of real-time telemedicine (remote video consultations with doctors), remote surgeries, and AI-assisted diagnostics, which help with the early detection of disease and offer more precise diagnoses.
With these improved efficiencies, medical professionals have more time to focus on essential tasks, ultimately improving patient care quality. Additionally, the increased efficacy and timeliness of treatments can potentially save many lives.
