5G & Edge Computing Impact on Healthcare Accessibility and Efficiency

New technologies like 5G and edge computing are making healthcare more connected, secure, and efficient. When healthcare practitioners must make life-or-death decisions, the quality of information at their disposal is critical. Having more specific data -- and being able to access it in real time -- leads to more informed decisions. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) makes this possible through an infrastructure of connected medical devices, software applications, and health systems powered by 5G wireless technology and edge computing, which enables connected devices to process data closer to where it is created. Global healthcare funding to private companies reached a new quarterly record of $18.1B in Q2'20. Get the report to learn more.
