Denis Brunetti-President in Vietnam and Myanmar Ericsson For instance, by partnering with the service provider and a healthcare provider in the Internet of Things, a hospital that provides 5G-connected devices to patients can get a dedicated network slice and edge storage, as well as the processing and AI capabilities, to analyse patients’ vital signs as quickly as possible. As new devices and applications place ever-increasing data demands on existing infrastructures, healthcare organisations are looking to edge architecture to bring computing power to the hospital while centralising data. In hospitals across the world, data exists in silos. Patients can go undiagnosed with different diseases because the results of an MRI scan or echocardiogram are difficult to share. To transform healthcare, we need robust connectivity. The building blocks for this digital infrastructure are high-performance connectivity and cloud software that enables easy sharing of data between experts. … [Read more...] about 5G to revolutionise the healthcare sector
