The marketing hype about5G has been going on now for the past year. It is not for the average smartphone user. Some cell phone networks (AT&T) are stretching it to the limit saying their 5G works on their current LTE system providing faster downloads, but just a trickle compared to true 5G.
What is a nerd to think? Let alone the average physician or patient.
5G and IoT (Internet of Things) are the perfect couple rolling out over the next five years. 5G will allow a quantum leap for connecting hardware invisibly. The IoT devices will be ubiquitous and IoT will be a feature readily added on to existing devices.
For hospitals, it will increase failsafe monitoring not only for patients but for critical hardware devices as well.

WEARABLE & REMOTE MONITORING
The Internet of Things (or IoT for short) refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. The term Internet of Things was proposed by Kevin Ashton in 2009. The concept of the Internet of Things first became popular through the Auto-ID Center at MIT and related market analysis publications. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen as a prerequisite for the Internet of Things in the early days. If all objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, they could be managed and inventoried by computers. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved through such technologies as near field communication, barcodes, QR codes and digital watermarking.
Equipping all objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices or machine-readable identifiers could transform daily life. For instance, a business may no longer run out of stock or generate waste products, as involved parties would know which products are required and consumed. A person’s ability to interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs, in accordance with existing end-user agreements.
According to Gartner, there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020. According to ABI Research, more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things (Internet of Everything) by 2020. Cisco created a dynamic “connections counter” to track the estimated number of connected things from July 2013 until July 2020 (methodology included). This concept, where devices connect to the internet/web via low power radio is the most active research area in IoT
