Summary

A concrete use case is here described, where the technological merging of private 5G, edge computing, and AR is exploited for an e-health application for remote cooperation between surgeons, where the different components have complementary roles. AR is an immersive technology that transfers digital data to augmented real-world surroundings and enhancing the user perception of reality. Applied to the healthcare ecosystem, AR, with 5G and edge computing, will escalate the current standard to high fidelity, effectively improving execution time, satisfaction, and confidence in post-graduation surgical metaverse education and training.
