This application is particularly beneficial for managing chronic diseases, where continuous monitoring of vital signs is crucial. For instance, a hybrid optical camera communication (OCC) and bluetooth low energy (BLE) system has been proposed to ensure efficient, remote, and real-time transmission of a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. This system integrates an LED array and BLE transmitter chip to collect ECG data, minimizing power consumption and ensuring reliable data transmission despite potential signal interference (Hasan et al., 2019). Another study demonstrated the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions using multi-parameter wearable devices to monitor blood pressure, glycemic levels, and electrocardiograms in elderly patients with chronic comorbidities. The real-time monitoring platform alerts doctors to any abnormal data, allowing for timely medical intervention and improved disease management outcomes (Kong et al., 2022). Moreover, the integration of wearable sensors and smartphones has led to the development of remote real-time monitoring systems for multiple physiological parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and temperature. These systems provide reliable performance, low power consumption, and secure data transmission, making them suitable for patients in rural areas (Naggar et al., 2019). 4.2 Remote consultation and diagnosis 5G technology also facilitates remote consultation and diagnosis by enabling high-definition video consultations. This allows patients in remote areas to receive professional medical opinions without the need to travel to healthcare facilities. For example, the use of 5G networks in smart healthcare applications has been shown to improve the quality of medical care through enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). These features support the development of healthcare systems that minimize the need for face-to-face consultations, thus providing excellent medical care remotely (Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). Additionally, remote patient monitoring systems within a future 5G infrastructure can enhance the transmission of information between patients and healthcare services. This paradigm shift in remote monitoring and tracking possibilities is expected to improve clinical outcomes by providing timely and accurate medical data to healthcare providers (Oleshchuk and Fensli, 2011) 4.3 Remote care robots Smart care robots integrated with 5G networks can significantly enhance the delivery of basic care services in patients' homes, particularly in rural and remote areas. These robots leverage the high transmission speeds and ultra-low latency of 5G to perform tasks that require real-time data processing and interaction. For instance, 5G-enabled care robots can assist elderly individuals with daily tasks such as medication reminders, household chores, and even rehabilitation training. The integration of AI with these robots further enhances their capability to provide personalized care, thereby improving the overall quality of life for elderly patients (Scoglio et al., 2019; Asgharian et al., 2022; Guo and Li, 2022). The deployment of 5G-supported care robots in rural areas addresses the challenge of limited access to healthcare services. These robots can perform routine health monitoring and provide immediate assistance, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits. Studies have shown that mobile service robots can effectively support older adults in maintaining their independence and well-being, which is crucial in areas with scarce healthcare resources (Scoglio et al., 2019; Asgharian et al., 2022). Additionally, the use of 5G networks ensures that these robots can operate efficiently without the delays associated with previous generations of mobile networks (Ahad et al., 2019; Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). 4.4 Emergency response and assistance 5G technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing emergency response and assistance systems by enabling rapid and reliable communication between emergency centers and patients.
