As Dr. Gerald E. Harmon pointed out, &ldquo;Patients stand at the intersection of health and technology. Without broadband and wireless, patients in underserved areas will face even greater health challenges.&quot;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The way 5G enable automation and robotics to advance in manufacturing is being explored for healthcare to realize the vision of remote robotic-assisted surgery. In January 2019 the first remote-surgery equipment using 5G mobile network technology was tested in China when a doctor in Fujian removed the liver of in a different location.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The 5G connection allowed him to control the robotic arms that carried out the surgery with only .1 seconds of lag time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As it says in the description of the video below, &ldquo;Researchers said the high-speed can reduce the risk of deadly medical mistakes, and raises hopes that 5G-enabled remote surgery will soon be reliable enough for use on human patients.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvi fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yFR61jjL1vo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"5g_and_its_role_in_retail\">5G and Its Role in Retail<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5G extends the usability of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/4784\/virtual-reality-vr\">virtual reality<\/a> (VR) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/4776\/augmented-reality-ar\">augmented reality<\/a> (AR), which could give people the chance to try on things virtually at home or in stores.<\/p>\n<p data-empty=\"true\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2019-04-01-gartner-says-100-million-consumers-will-shop-in-augme\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">April 2019 press release<\/a>, Gartner proclaimed &ldquo;100 Million Consumers Will Shop in Augmented Reality Online and In-Store by 2020.&rdquo; The release quotes Anna Karki, principal research analyst at Gartner, who said that consumer demand and expectations for retail experiences are prompting retailer to find technological solutions, including &ldquo;AR and VR to offer customers a unified retail experience inside and outside retail stores.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Karki explained that it enables customers to experience &ldquo;immersive environments&rdquo; by referencing IKEA&rsquo;s Place app that makes it possible to see various pieces of furniture available for sale within their own homes. She added that &quot;AR can be used outside the store after a sale to increase customer satisfaction and improve loyalty.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The same release quotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/analyst\/26971\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sylvain Fabre<\/a>, senior research director at Gartner observing that 5G can be used to improve &quot;not only customer engagement but also the entire product management cycle of brands.&rdquo; He pointed out that: &ldquo;5G can optimize warehouse resources, enhance store traffic analytics and enable beacons that communicate with shoppers&rsquo; smartphones.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">See more specific applications for retail in the video below:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvi fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4RFloj6fnSs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"5g_driving_the_future_of_transportation\">5G Driving the Future of Transportation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Connectivity can make diving safer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As explained in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carritech.com\/news\/5g-use-cases-vehicles-transportation\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Carritech<\/a>, 5G enables two types of communication that are key to improving safety for drivers: &ldquo;Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I).&rdquo; One way V2V can be used in alerting a driver that cars ahead are braking even before the driver can see the brake lights ahead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As many collisions are caused by hitting cars that come to sudden stop, prior notice can avert a serious accident. Should the condition necessitating stops be one in the road, the V2I communication can allow the driver to know that in time to take an alternative route and avoid congestion.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvi fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Eho04iCMxw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Such awareness of other cars and road conditions are prerequisites for the safe operation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/30056\/autonomous-car\">autonomous vehicles<\/a>.

One company that offers that service in app form called <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/me-moo\/id1451812200\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Me+Moo<\/a> is UK-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5gruralfirst.org\/introducing-memoo\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">5G Rural First<\/a>.
