Abstract: With the advent of Industry 5.0 (I5.0), healthcare is undergoing a profound transformation, integrating human capabilities with advanced technologies to promote a patient-centered, efficient, and empathetic healthcare ecosystem. This study aims to examine the effects of Industry 5.0 on healthcare, emphasizing the synergy between human experience and technology. To this end, 6 specific objectives were found, which were answered in the results through an empirical study based on interviews with 11 healthcare professionals. This article thus outlines strategic and policy guidelines for the integration of I5.0 in healthcare, advocating policy-driven change, and contributes to the literature by offering a solid theoretical basis on I5.0 and its impact on the healthcare sector.
