The 5G network's capabilities, such as ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), enable real-time data transmission from wearable devices to healthcare providers, facilitating prompt medical responses and continuous monitoring (Ahad et al., 2019; Ajakwe et al., 2022; Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, when connected through 5G, can significantly improve the quality of care by providing accurate and timely health data, which is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment (Ahad et al., 2020; Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). However, challenges such as energy efficiency, data security, and the need for customizable standards must be addressed to ensure the seamless integration of these technologies (Ajakwe et al., 2022). 7.2 Application of artificial intelligence in remote care Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in enhancing remote care services by analyzing vast amounts of health data to support decision-making and provide personalized care. AI can reduce the burden on healthcare professionals by automating routine tasks and offering diagnostic support through deep learning models (Giambene et al., 2018; Karako et al., 2020; Shafique et al., 2020). For instance, AI can assist in interpreting diagnostic imaging and providing real-time instructions during remote consultations, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of remote diagnoses (Karako et al., 2020). The integration of AI with 5G networks can further enhance the capabilities of remote care services by enabling intelligent resource management and smart service provisioning (Yang et al., 2019; Bariah et al., 2020). 7.3 Policy support and regulation for remote care The successful deployment of 5G-supported remote care services requires robust policy support and regulatory frameworks from governments and related departments. Policies must address issues such as data privacy, security, and the standardization of remote care technologies to ensure safe and effective healthcare delivery (Ahad et al., 2020; Ogbodo et al., 2022; Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). Regulatory standards should also promote the equitable distribution of healthcare resources, ensuring that rural and remote areas benefit from advancements in 5G and remote care technologies. Government initiatives and funding can accelerate the development and adoption of these services, ultimately improving healthcare accessibility and outcomes (Ahad et al., 2019; Karako et al., 2020). 7.4 Establishment of community care networks Building a 5G-supported community care service network in remote areas is essential for promoting resource sharing and enhancing the overall quality of care. Such networks can facilitate the collaboration between healthcare providers, local communities, and technology providers to deliver comprehensive care services (Ahad et al., 2020; Ogbodo et al., 2022; Peralta-Ochoa et al., 2023). The integration of 5G with low power wide area networks (LPWAN) and satellite technologies can extend the reach of these services to the most underserved areas, ensuring continuous connectivity and reliable healthcare delivery (Giambene et al., 2018; Ogbodo et al., 2022). Community care networks can also leverage AI and IoT technologies to provide personalized and proactive care, addressing the unique health needs of rural populations (Bariah et al., 2020; Shafique et al., 2020).
