2The potential Impact of the 5G on the Health Care Industry
Part one – Research
The desire of the connivance, speed and instant gratification is the reason behind the
evolvement of communication system. 5G is one of the latest wireless systems includes low
latency, high throughput and high mobility. The implementation of the 5G network is under
process. However, the impact of 5G will affect many industries. Healthcare industries well also
be affected by the 5G. 5G can assist healthcare industries in many way. Remote medical sensors
can help health care industries. Patients can wear remote medical sensors that could be useful to
transfer daily medical report by 5G. Through 5G, the data of the individual’s health can be
transferred to the heal care industry. This data can assist the healthcare industries to ensure the
good health condition of the patient. Instate of going to hospital, the health check-up can be done
without any effort. The 5G will also enable trillion dollars services and products for global
healthcare sector. It will introduces several new way to accomplish digital networking that will
upgrade the health care experience. On the negative size, the tower of the 5G towers can lead to
brain damage. The findings suggest that human skin not only absorbs but actually amplifies the
radiation from millimeter wave networks. The radiation will directly affect the skin. According
to the clear medical associations the 5G can also create problems such as birth defects, Cataracts,
decreased antibiotic sensitivity and immune system suppression. The impact of the 5G on the
healthcare will be revolutionary.
Part two – Brainstorming
5G technology will change many aspects of the healthcare industries. The typical
approaches of the healthcare industries will be change. There are several approaches as follows:

3The potential Impact of the 5G on the Health Care Industry
Health Check-up: healthcare industries can adopt the 5G technology to upgrade and
improve the health checkup approach. Generrall6y, people needs to take appointment before
visiting any particular health center and the whole check-up will also a time consuming factor.
The health checkup is also necessary in order to maintain good health. By utilizing 5G
technology, patients can get daily report of their health.
Resource efficiency: the 5G will also impact the resource management system in the health care.
Secure online consultants and remote procedures like robotic surgery will improve dramatically.
(Islam et al. 2015)This transformation will force to create new value chains and initiate
partnership that benefits the entire eco system.
Opportunities: Health care is often described as data rich yet information poor. 5G offers the
potential for new business models to emerge at the intersection of health care and data analytics.
Health care is of course highly specialized, and it is essential to maintain confidentiality of

patient records as well as security of information. The implementation of the 5G in the healthcare
will also create many opportunities to upgrade the medical care experience.
Part three – Regulation and Ethics
There are several factor that needs to be considered in order to combine the 5G technology with
healthcare industries. There are several factors outlines below:
1. Adoption: people needs to be consider the evolution approach. They can successfully
implement the approach by adopting the technology. Patients can be much safer. They
can transfer their health related data to the health centerr in real time without visiting the
health center.
2. Implementation: healthcare industries must consider the approach to upgrade and
improve the typical heal care process. The implementation og the 5G will create many
opportunities for the medical industrialist.
3. Governance support: for this massive revolutionary change, government support is
necessary. Government can invest on this applications in order to create a rich health care
experience.
Part four – Disruption
The process of the typical health check-up process can be changed through proper
implementation of the 5G technology. By utilizing this faster communication technology, patient
and experts will be able to communicate with each other in real time. Patient does not need to
leave their current place in order to check their medical status. It can also assist everyone by
sending their daily activity report to the healthcare center. This way, experts will be able to check
their daily report that will help them to prevent any future health issues. For medical cheek-up,

user had to travel to the medical center which can lead to pretty critical situation depend on the
patient condition (Palattella et al. 2016). 5G technology can be utilized for real-time
communication in emergency cases. For completing the approach, several objects are mandatory
such as remote medical sensors, 5G wireless communication. The outcome will be pretty
innovative. This approach will surely enhance the medical care experience.
