Developing A Framework for A Tactile Internet Enabled Robot Assisted Real-Time Interactive Medical System

摘要

In this paper we outline a high-level framework and architecture for a robotic assisted real time interactive medical system for use in developing countries to help cure the acute shortage of qualified skill medical personnel in the health sector in of an internet of skills domain. We explore the application of new and innovative advancements in technological areas such as AI, 5G mobile networks, the tactile internet networks, robotics and haptic technology to aid in the digital transfer of medical expertise over a wide geographical area. We describe and propose technical specifications of such systems and review existing literature and current technologies in these areas. We interrogate the potential benefits and challenges facing the deployment of these technologies.
