Towards fostering the role of 5G networks in the field of digital health

A typical healthcare system needs further participation with patient monitoring, vital signs sensors and other medical devices. Healthcare moved from a traditional central hospital to scattered patients. Healthcare systems receive help from emerging technology innovations such as fifth generation (5G) communication infrastructure: internet of things (IoT), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). Healthcare providers benefit from IoT capabilities to comfort patients by using smart appliances that improve the healthcare level they receive. These IoT smart healthcare gadgets produce massive data volume. It is crucial to use very high-speed communication networks such as 5G wireless technology with the increased communication bandwidth, data transmission efficiency and reduced communication delay and latency, thus leading to strengthen the precise requirements of healthcare big data utilities. The adaptation of 5G in smart healthcare networks allows increasing number of IoT devices that supplies an augmentation in network performance. This paper reviewed distinctive aspects of internet of medical things (IoMT) and 5G architectures with their future and present sides, which can lead to improve healthcare of patients in the near future

Leveraging Blockchain to Enable Smart-Health Applications

Smart health (s-health) is an emerging paradigm that brings together a whole new range of digital data, both personal and non-personal, in order to deliver a holistic approach to health that overcomes the boundaries of the traditional patient caring system. By including non-personal smart city data, mobile s-health applications can improve prediction, prevention, and prescriptive care, while generating feedback that make cities smarter when accounting for and adapting to individual needs. As a result, the constantly ongoing societal challenge of improving individual life will receive additional support. As an example of such life improvement, cities might reduce pollution by promoting mobile applications that incentivize people lacking of adequate physical activity to use alternative transport means. Despite of the envisioned benefits, the diverse nature and jurisdiction of infrastructures and data required to develop s-health applications open up a number of challenges that need to be addressed. In this position paper, we first present a sustainable model for fostering the creation of s-health applications, then identify and discuss the existing challenges, and finally explore the role of blockchain in overcoming some of them.</p
