  The fifth generation (5G) of communication systems has ambitious targets of
data rate, end-to-end latency, and connection availability, while the
deployment of a new flexible network architecture will spur new applications.
E-health and mobile health (m-health) solutions will meet the increasing demand
of new, sustainable, and more accessible services beneficial to both
practitioners and the rapidly aging population. This paper aims at defining the
technical requirements of future cellular networks to support a variety of
advanced healthcare services (e.g., smart hospital, telesurgery, connected
ambulances, and monitoring). While 5G will be able to satisfy these
requirements, it will also pave the way for future e- and m-health in the
sixth-generation (6G) cellular networks.
