Healthcare has been identified as a core theme for 6G, as highlighted at the Berlin6GConference by Minister Stark-Watzinger. The medical sector faces numerous challenges, including staff shortages, cost pressures, and an increasing number of elderly patients. 6G technologies have the potential to alleviate and address these issues.
This session provides a comprehensive overview of current research projects in the field of 6G and their applications in healthcare. It presents an approach for a Medical Device Compliant solution that meets high standards for data security and protection. The solutions aim to enhance efficiency and improve the quality of patient care. Experts from various disciplines will share their insights and discuss the future opportunities that 6G can offer in the healthcare sector.
