Abstract

In the last two decades, a lot of new technological advancements and developments have taken place in the field of healthcare. These advancements have helped to improve people’s living standards and have increased the global life expectancy. However, the current healthcare system is facing a huge burden due to the increasing cases of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, etc., and the way our healthcare system which is running currently has proved to be quite inefficient. In this research paper, our focus will be on how 5G technology can revolutionize our healthcare system and resolving challenges posed by our current healthcare system. 5G technology offers features like low latency, high-speed connectivity, and many other features that can prove to be the game-changer when it comes to healthcare. Impact of 5G on the medical access, quality, and cost will also make some recommendations that such as data policies, research needs, effective regulations, infrastructure developments, trials, etc., that will lead to a better, safer, and quality healthcare in future without ignoring the fundamental rights of the individuals.
