Digitalisation in medical technology is progressing. The spectrum of networked medical devices is now vast and ranges from medical apps to networked operating theatres. Reason enough to look at the question of how this networking is technically solved and what consequences this has for manufacturers and suppliers with regard to the design of systems, devices and components. One current development concerns the underlying networking technology. A change from 4G or 5G networks to the 6G network of the future is emerging here. This is associated with a range of interesting potential applications, in particular tele-surgery and tele-monitoring, tracking in emergency services or hospitals, networking in operating theatres and intensive care, wearables, networked implants and prostheses as well as automation and robotics in medicine. In this session, we will discuss which technological developments are emerging, which applications are promising and how manufacturers and suppliers can get networked medical devices off the ground in a compliant and safe manner.
