Remote surgery technology is getting closer to becoming a reality thanks to the tremendous advancements in 6G networks and artificial intelligence. This will enable surgeons to control surgical tools from a distance, even if they are thousands of kilometers away from patients.
This technology relies on advanced medical robots that will transmit precise movements in real-time, allowing for complex procedures to be performed without the need for the surgeon to be physically present.
6G networks will provide ultra-high connection speeds and response times measured in nanoseconds, virtually eliminating latency and making remote surgeries possible for the first time. Greg Flack, Planning Director at AWTG, expects these networks to be available on phones by 2026, surpassing 5G networks with speeds ten times faster and reducing response time by 50-fold, revolutionizing the world of communications and medical applications.
In this context, Samsung is intensifying its research efforts to develop 6G technologies, focusing on integrating artificial intelligence to enhance communication capabilities, which will be a key element in transitioning to the new generation of networks.
Experts believe that this technological leap will not only impact the medical sector but will pave the way for tremendous advancements in various fields, such as smart cities, self-driving vehicles, and the Internet of Things, making the future more connected and efficient.
