Title: Impact of 5G Technology on Health Care Sector

Proposal

5G technology is the latest cellular network technology that provides faster, better, and efficient

internet connectivity. It can potentially revolutionize and has a positive impact on the healthcare

sector. 5g technology can transform the traditional hospital approach to a patient-centric

approach which also ensures patients’ safety. There are numerous benefits of the 5g technology-

enabled healthcare system such as enhanced quality of medical services, optimization of medical

resources, and improve system efficiency. However, there are some challenges in implementing

the 5g technology as well. These challenges include the high cost of implementation, resource

mobilization, and 5g security concerns. 5g technology provides a new model of healthcare that

focuses on personalized healthcare. There are many drawbacks in the current healthcare system

such as inconvenience, lack of adequate and equitable health facilities, and lack of access to

medical facilities in isolated areas. These drawbacks can be improved using a 5g technology-

enabled healthcare system. Despite the potential advantages of the 5g technology-enabled

healthcare system, there is still a need to pre-plan and implement effective strategies to avoid the

time, resource, and cost wastage. Other than that, studies have revealed a positive impact of 5g

technology on the healthcare system. But, there is also a need to conduct more research in this

field to realize the real benefits of 5g technology in healthcare and explore more what this

technology can offer in the healthcare sector.
