The technology promises to revolutionize many areas in the coming years, including healthcare. With the presence of 5G technology, a series of applications will be explored in various sectors of activity, for example, in the patient experience journey, with resources such as telehealth and telemedicine.
Among numerous hypotheses, the expectation is that 5G will have a positive impact on the sector, as network coverage should be greater, as well as the ability to reach remote service.
5G is the new generation of mobile cellular telephony and data networks and the fifth and most advanced generation available to the population. The technological advent will make our mobile devices with a higher level of performance, ensuring more speed, stability and mobility in the palm of your hand.
Several technology companies focused on the healthcare area, such as Duodoctor, for example, are already carrying out research and working on innovations that will be optimized when the 5G network is effectively implemented. It is with the advent of telemedicine that the advance will be even greater, generating care in areas of difficult access, providing more efficiency and speed in the processes, thus ensuring the best experience for the patient.
Duodoctor is responsible for developing an innovative telemedicine platform for the healthcare market. The resource, especially at this time of fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, gained prominence and space among health professionals and units. With the 5G network, it will be even easier to connect between devices, allowing greater connection speed needed by the tool.
In addition, the 5G network will provide transformation in areas such as the Internet of Things (IOT). Although the use of mobile devices is already possible through existing networks today, with better availability in the channels, performance will be able to evolve and will be able to connect different devices, without interfering with the quality of the connection. In other words, data capture and exchange of information and medical opinions, for example, can be carried out in real time. From the physician’s point of view, it will be possible to guarantee a better knowledge base for the adoption of best practices and definition of procedures effectively and quickly.
The implementation of this new technology will effectively impact the improvement of the patient experience. With the presence of technological advances, such as the use of wearables, smartwatches and chatbots, preventive care and personalized service will transform the doctor-patient relationship. Additionally, 5G proves to be essential for the advancement of robotic surgery, in addition to virtual and augmented reality, as it becomes essential for the realization of remote services.
It is undeniable that technological resources are increasingly present in our reality. There is still a lot to come as we are moving more and more towards a connected and globalized system. And it is in this segment, Duodoctor keeps following the evolutions and invests more and more in the mission of promoting health through assistance services and intelligent platforms.
