The Role of 5G Networks in the Field of Medical Sciences Education

Over the past decade, rapid developments in computer and communication technologies have emerged for the use of Internet of Things (IoT) in various fields and collection and providing security in terms of privacy and integrity, of big data on a daily basis is a challenge. Researchers are revealed that, it is expected to have 25–50 billions of devices with minimum number of 6 devices per person on a huge amount of IoT based activities by 2020. 5th generation wireless systems (5G) are on the horizon and IoT is expected to form majority of the 5G network paradigm. IoT technologies have started drastically change landscape of various industries. Considering these changes, technological innovations are providing new ways of education and learning materials for educators to help their teaching and communication methods with their learners. New opportunities alter teaching and learning. Especially, in order to increase quality and quantity of learning and teaching in higher education institutions, blended learning approaches have been emerged. This adopts use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) into traditional teaching mechanisms through both instructor and learner generated contents. Findings suggest that Generation Z use e-learning materials more effectively and efficiently revision tools than their textbooks and their own notes respectively. As new opportunities in technologies become more mature, the volume of data published will increase rapidly. This paper investigates and identifies how these emerging technologies of IoT in 5G will be integrated on education sciences like medicine. The paper aims to present how learners will get quality education through improvements in digital imaging, decision on diagnostics, and knowledge to treatment.
