Drone Care Angel: AI-Driven Health Monitoring in Beyond 5G Networks
Beyond 5G and emerging 6G networks have the potential to revolutionize medical services by enabling ultra-reliable, low-latency communication, AI-driven edge intelligence, and dynamic network adaptation for real-time healthcare applications. The Drone Care Angel is an AI-driven context-aware mobile health monitoring system that utilizes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to provide real-time surveillance and emergency detection. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, the UAV continuously monitors individuals, analyzing physiological and movement patterns to detect potential health anomalies. By integrating edge computing and AI-based analytics, DCA enables rapid anomaly detection, allowing for timely medical intervention and improved remote decision-making. To achieve its objectives, DCA leverages B5G capabilities, including Multi-access Edge Computing for low-latency AI inference and dynamic network slicing for adaptive low-latency communication to ensure seamless data transmission.
