Registration is now open for the Webinar: How 5G Can Support Transformation in the Healthcare Industry on 15 May 2019, 12:00-13:00 CEST

The digital revolution already apparent in other industries has yet to become mainstream in the health sector, with disruptions coming from improved patient engagement, connected care, unobtrusive monitoring, assisted living for people with chronic conditions, independent and active ageing, and robotic/remote surgery. The health care industry is the biggest and fastest growing industry in the world. In the European Union, the cost of providing health care is projected to rise by 15% by 2060, accounting for 8.5% of the GDP, when 1 in 8 people in Europe will be 80+ years old.
