5G Mobile Systems for Healthcare

Requirements and Enablers of Advanced Healthcare Services over Future Cellular Systems

“…In order to provide seamless and natural interaction with users, massive collections of images, videos, audio tracks and environmental and motion sensor data have to be processed in real-time (often, in the cloud) and returned to the WSR to perform actions. In this scenario, data rates of the order of 1 Gb/s are needed, together with latency of about 1 ms [9], and a reliability of (1 − 10 −7 ) [2].…”

“…Traditional services include telesurgery and remote monitoring, which are expected to significantly advance (with a more extensive use of virtual reality) in the near future. However, with the availability of pervasive mobile data communication networks, a new mobile health (m-health) paradigm is emerging, exploiting for example wearables for patient monitoring and virtual reality solutions for connected ambulances [1], [2]. Indeed, the diffusion of m-health solutions should lead to the creation of a novel Internet of medical things (IoMT) [3], [4], with the promise of an ubiquitous, continuous, and personalized medical Giulia Cisotto is with University of Padova (Italy) and the National Centre for Neurology and Psychiatry, Tokyo (Japan); Edoardo Casarin and Stefano Tomasin are with University of Padova (Italy).…”

Survey on health care applications in 5G networks

“…In [28], the authors proposed an emotion‐aware connected health care system processing speech and image signals separately and fusing the classification scores to produce the final score to take a decision about the emotion. The paper discussed system architecture with edge and remote cloud but did not provide details of the distribution of tasks among the edge and remote cloud.In [29], focused on 5G Mobile Systems benefit from ultra‐reliable low latency communications for health care use cases: Wireless Tele Surgery which uses mobile console and robotic platforms with video, audio and haptic feedback; and Wireless Service Robots with a companion or service robots. In particular, the paper analysed the business case and Return on Investment for mobile operators and health care providers.…”

Wireless Communication Technologies for Safe Cooperative Cyber Physical Systems

“…The Autonomous Hospital Beds use case focuses on robots that can be assimilated to terrestrial unmanned vehicles embedding 5G chipsets with MCX (MCData/MCVideo) air interface enabled. More ideas about robotics applications in healthcare within the 5G ecosystem can be found in [ 98 ], where robots are considered stand-alone configuration instead of a non-standalone new radio (i.e., 5G) application. To enable hospital bed use case in [ 96 ], the MCX 3GPP specifications integrates the following requirements: MCData Service shall enable the control of robots; MCData Service shall provide a common transmission framework to use and control robots; MCData Service shall provide a default control latency depending on the robots type under (400 ms for a terrestrial unmanned vehicle).…”
