Truth or Dare? The Role of 5G in Healthcare with Dr. Kalil Abdullah

5G technology might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “brain surgery”. Going under the knife for any reason isn’t the most thrilling proposition for anyone, but how would you feel about getting a surgery without doctors in the operating room? 5G promises to bring many innovations to healthcare including remote surgery. But is that a fact or a fiction? Let’s find out.

In today’s podcast, I am talking with brain surgeon Dr Kalil Abdullah, who is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Director of Integrated Brain Tumor Research Program. He has published more than 100 research papers and is regularly invited to speak both nationally and internationally. In short, he is extremely qualified. 

Dr Abdullah works with a lot of cutting-edge medical instruments to treat his patients with a brain tumor, but the focus of our discussion today is not about medical science. Instead, we will attempt to separate some facts from fiction and get his realistic perspective on some of the technologies such as 5G and Augmented Reality that claims to revolutionize healthcare and assist medical professionals in innovative ways.
