Abstract: Abstract Developments in healthcare usually directly target innovations in intervention techniques and medical devices for diagnosis, analysis and treatment. On the other hand, digital development in administration, handling and accessing (sensitive) patient data or real-time availability of information also contribute to improvement of management. The CoVid situation highlighted emerging technologies that covers both, and blurs the border between, management (i.e., cost reduction) and actual treatment. The newly introduced 5G New Radio wireless technology and the expansion of virtual, augmented and mixed reality applications not only assist medical personnel during treatment, but can increase safety, availability and sustainability of services, and at the same time, can reduce costs. This paper briefly introduces benefits of these technologies focusing on state-of-the-art use cases.
