Abstract

Society 5.0 is a concept of future super-smart, sustainable society that can empower economic development of its citizens while ensuring social upliftment and equality through modern technology-driven solutions. An integral part of such a human-centered society is super-smart healthcare system. The previous Information Society (Society 4.0) opened up the gates to information accessible via the Internet, which was then used for analysis by human beings. However, the Society 5.0 is more advanced that will automate the data management and analysis to derive value and solve economic as well as social problems. In this chapter, we introduce super-smart, sustainable healthcare system in Society 5.0 whose vision will be equitable, optimized, and reliable healthcare service delivery to all the people of the society. The underlying objectives of such a system will be presented. The prototypical design of super-smart healthcare system will be described to explain structure (components) as well as the functioning of proposed system built over modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT). Our prototype will explain the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in the system. This chapter will discuss core technologies and their utility in development of such system. The different methods for healthcare data management and analysis will be described. Lastly, the ethical concerns to be taken care of regarding patient safety, data security and well-being of people will be discussed.
