The hospital bedfor example, is an important collection point for vital datamedical records, information from devices next to the bed. This all belongs to the bed and the patient and should not be transmitted over insecure networks. At the same time, the bed is mobile. If it is moveda lot of data is disconnected and the patient cannot be monitored during that time. If the bed, devices and data are networked via 5G mobile communications, they remain connected. Another example: In the Corona pandemic, parts of hospital departments have been converted to provide more emergency and also ICU beds for Covid19 patients. In practice, however, this was often only possible with a great deal of effort, as the necessary medical equipment was wired up and there were often not enough data network connections available in the converted wards to reconnect it. Or: The dosage of medication via a drip is typically done manually. But this could also be automated in a modern infusion system, which could then be controlled and monitored via the 5G campus network.
