Idea, Architecture, and Applications of 5G Enabled IoMT Systems for Smart Health Care System

Abstract

The health sector is one of the important sectors of the Indian economy. The average expenditure on smart healthcare can be saved using the smart healthcare systems. Using Smart Healthcare System, death rate can be reduced and life span can be increased. Smart healthcare includes eHealth, mHealth services, smart home services, electronic database, and intelligent medical devices. Use of IoT based smart healthcare systems is increasing rapidly for disease diagnosis, patient’s treatment, and better quality of life. However, it produces a massive amount of data from different applications. It is the need of an hour to process and monitor real time data remotely with accuracy. As there are some limitations of IoT in healthcare like the massive amount of data generated, data security/privacy concerns, and more. This issue can be resolved by 5G technology. It has the capability to tackle the large amount of data with minimum delay and fulfills the requirement, such as high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and ultra-high energy efficiency. Both 5G and IoT have great utility in the health sector. This research paper presents components, architecture, and applications of 5G enabled Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This paper also covers how the 5G enabled IoMT supports the smart healthcare system and comparison of available wireless communication technologies for 5G enabled IoT. Requirements and technologies involved in 5G enabled IoMT Systems are presented along with their impact.
