Employing 5G Mobile Networks in Keeping Elderly Healthy and Active

In the context of healthcare for elderly patients, especially in areas located far from rehabilitation clinics, pro-viding remotely assisted prevention and treatment enabled by reliable and secure connectivity through micro-networks based on technologies like 5G and beyond, could be a viable alternative to regularly transporting the elderly to the clinics, potentially improving their quality of life. This paper analyses the needs of such a system featuring fall detection and risk assessment as well as rehabilitation at home and presents the design of the End-to- End interoperable and secure software system and the planned validation.
