Abstract

Recently, new paradigms have been created in multiple fields due to 5G becoming globally commercial. This has compelled the researchers across the globe to start paving the roadmap of 6G by including complex concepts like, telepresence, AI based robots to cobots and medical cyber physical systems (MCPS) etc. This evolution has sparked significant change in the thinking, perception, and behavioral attributes of healthcare professionals and patients in terms of healthcare services across the globe. Online services have changed the perception of people by offering real-time remote access to the healthcare professional, saving time and money and most of all reducing mental fatigue of patients by bypassing the core hurdles in the conventional healthcare system. If just ease in online access, which is a tiny fraction of what 6G can promise, has such a positive impact on the behavior of patients and professionals, then one can imagine what impact it may have on the perception of healthcare sector. This work focuses on providing paradigm changes in healthcare sector due to the evolution of 6G in perspective of telehealth advancement, e-Health, and m-Health (e/m-healthcare). The paper will further provide the opportunities, challenges and the hope & hype in healthcare advancement associated with the progression in 6G technology.
