Powering the possibility of 5G and future “Smart Cities,” the latest fiber-optic implementations are being labeled essential to the healthcare industry.
Fiber Optics, known for delivering high-speed internet, is being hailed as “revolutionary” for improving healthcare systems. On both ends of the medical spectrum, patient and doctor, fiber optic technology is changing the system.
For the patient, fiber-optic technology translates into increased access to information and to healthcare facilities for personal health. Fiber optics can provide a strong connection for technological advances such as mobile EKGs and heart monitors. Integrated technology, such as cloud-based storage centers powered by fiber-optics, can be used for medical records and allows both patients and doctors to view medical documents almost instantaneously.
A strong fiber optic connection can also mean rapid response times from aid workers and emergency services. Fiber optics’ integral role in the possibility of 5G translates into higher rates of understanding in disease control and healthy living, as it enables faster connectivity, more integrated technology, and the implementation of “smart” technology.
Medical professionals also benefit from fiber-optic integrations through scientific studies and patient care. When fiber-optic-powered 5G connectivity becomes embedded in a city’s infrastructure, the ability to rapidly collect data on the spread of diseases and illnesses can improve how large areas can prevent outbreaks. Moreover, the faster the internet connection, the faster doctors can collaborate on patient cases, thereby speeding up diagnoses.
The fiber optic infrastructure is essential to the future integration of 5G connectivity. To see how your company can benefit from fiber-optic technology, GeoTel offers complimentary demos.
