With 5G networks on the way and the Internet of Things expected to grow rapidly, the health industry appears to be on the cusp of a new system of care.The commercial launch of standardized 5G mobile networks is expected by 2020, though some networks are expected to be live in select U.S. cities as soon as the end of 2018. Beyond simply providing faster connectivity than todays 4G networks, 5G networks will be able to accommodate more connected devices and monitor data prioritization, keeping less vital downloads from occurring immediately.Deloitte estimates the global market for IoT in healthcare a vast collection of devices and sensors that generate and transmit data will increase from $40 billion in 2018 to $158 billion in 2022.
