Focusing on the challenges, directions, and future predictions with the role of 5G in smart healthcare monitoring, this book offers the fundamental concepts and analysis on methods to apply IoT in monitoring devices for diagnosing and transferring data. It also discusses self-managing to help providers improve their experience of care.
Smart Healthcare Monitoring Using IoT with 5G: Challenges, Directions, and Future Predictions illustrates user-focused wearable devices such as Fitbit health monitors and smartwatches where consumers are self-managing and self-monitoring their own health and providers can improve the experience of care. The book goes on to cover new points of security and privacy concerns with the expectation of IoT devices gaining more popularity within the next 10 years. Case studies depicting applications, best practices, as well as future predictions of smart healthcare monitoring by way of a 5G network are also included.
Before Internet of Things (IoT), patients’ interactions with doctors were limited to visits, and tele and text communications. There were no ways doctors or hospitals could monitor patients’ health continuously and make recommendations accordingly. IoT-enabled devices have made remote monitoring in the healthcare sector possible, unleashing the potential to keep patients safe and healthy, and empowering physicians to deliver superlative care. It has also increased patient engagement and satisfaction as interactions with doctors have become easier and more efficient. Furthermore, remote monitoring of patient’s health helps in reducing the length of hospital stay and prevents re-admissions. IoT also has a major impact on reducing healthcare costs significantly and improving treatment outcomes. IoT is undoubtedly transforming the healthcare industry by redefining the space of devices and people interaction in delivering healthcare solutions. IoT has applications in healthcare that benefit patients, families, physicians, hospitals, and insurance companies.
In parallel, 5G will enhance many existing use cases while creating new ones unfulfilled by current technologies, such as remotely performed patient examinations and even operations. What is also certain is that critical healthcare services require reliable connections. 5G networks will provide near-instantaneous data transfer speeds, which will make a massive impact on all connected devices in healthcare. Huge data files of medical imagery could be transported quickly and reliably, leading to improved quality of care.
Interested readers of this book will include anyone working or involved in research in the field of smart healthcare which includes, but is not limited to healthcare specialists, Computer Science Engineers, Electronics Engineers, and Pharmaceutical practitioners.
