Future of 5G: Better Healthcare Outcomes
[MUSIC]
With the arrival of 5G networks, higher bandwidth and lower latency will directly contribute to better diagnosis and faster triage.
That will save lives.
Save lives.
My name is Rafael Grossman and I'm a surgeon, and a teacher, and a healthcare futurist.
Today there aren't enough healthcare resources to meet the world's needs.
We know that about two thirds of the world's population about 5 billion people don't really have access to safe surgery, or to affordable surgery.
We need to really use the technology that we have at hand, like 5G, to shorten that gap between what we can offer and what we need to offer.
The clarity of high-definition video in 5G will make telehealth experiences more comfortable and accurate for rural and remote patients.
As a surgeon, the more I can see, the better my diagnosis.
5G connected wearables will facilitate streaming of real time data.
They can monitor how much you are active or your heart rate or even your blood pressure with the touch of a button.
The use of virtual and augmented reality will be invaluable for providing lifelike experiences when teaching medical procedures Healthcare is about communicating and connecting better.
Having no perceptible latency will allow us to have a real life conversation, but at a distance.
We know that 80% of people with healthcare questions don't need the physical contact with a provider in order to be successfully advised or treated.
Remote surgery using semi-automomous robots will be feasible.
So will the use of AI and deep learning to analyze CT scans, MRIs, X rays and other imaging studies to vastly improve Improve our medical diagnosis.
I think 5G is going to cause a paradigm shift in healthcare.
Everything from prevention to treatment, to rehabilitation, teaching, and mentoring will be enriched.
5G will elevate the quality of care throughout the US and around the world.
