Abstract:

Nowadays 5G technology which is among the latest technological innovations in the communication technology domain will lead to the emergence of a new healthcare ecosystem. In addition, it is thought that the technology will create the communication infrastructure of a new connected healthcare ecosystem that can meet the needs of patients and healthcare providers accurately, efficiently, and cost-effective manner. In this study it is aimed to reveal the information on which areas of health 5G technology can be used by examining patent documents. In the study, systematic literature review was adapted as a systematic patent scan, and examinations were carried out on the functions of monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of health. Scans were made over the protocol and algorithm given in the method section. After the scans, 55 patents were included in the research. The results of the patents examined in the study provide important signs that the traditional hospital-oriented approach of health functions will transform into a health system that is connected and can be served from long distances. In the examined patents, it was observed that the most intense technological development in terms of health functions was in the field of remote monitoring. An important part of the technological development in the field of remote monitoring is the patents obtained for chronic diseases.
