Abstract
The traditional expert and hospital-focused approach to smart healthcare is quickly changing to a dispersed patient-focused one. Several technical advancements have aided this quick transition in healthcare. 4G and other communication standards are currently employed in the medical field for smart health services and apps. The development of intelligent healthcare services in the future depends on these technologies. A vast amount of data in various formats and sizes is anticipated to be produced by several applications due to the expansion of the healthcare sector. A specific consideration of the end-to-end delay, bandwidth, latency, and other properties is required for such vast and heterogeneous data. Future healthcare applications will demand extremely dynamic and time-sensitive systems, which will be challenging for current communication technology to meet. As a result, 5G networks are being created and tailored to address the various communication requirements of internet of things (IoT) applications related to health.

Adoption of Wearable Systems in Modern Patient Telemonitoring Systems
Specification for wireless personal area networks (WPANs) operating at 868 MHz, 902-928 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. A WPAN is a personal area network (a network for interconnecting an individual’s devices) in which the device connections are wireless. Using ZigBee, devices in a WPAN can communicate at speeds of up to 250 Kbps while physically separated by distances of up to 50 meters in typical circumstances and greater distances in an ideal environment. ZigBee is based on the 802.15 specification approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA).
