Towards 6G-enabled eHealth
Abstract
This SNS JU white paper consolidates findings from leading European research projects, demonstrating how next-generation network architectures, artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, and advanced data security mechanisms are transforming care delivery across the continent. Over 2024 and 2025, these projects have successfully advanced from conceptual frameworks to validated, real-world implementations across diverse clinical specialities and geographic regions. The research portfolio successfully deployed fifteen distinct eHealth use cases that address critical healthcare challenges, moving the capabilities of advanced networks beyond theory into clinically safe and operationally viable practice. This white paper represents a documentary record of a critical inflection point in European healthcare and 6G technology development. TrialsNet, AMAZING-6G, MultiX, 6G-PATH, SUSTAIN-6G and IMAGINE-B5G projects have moved beyond theoretical potential to demonstrated, validated, clinically impactful outcomes. The evidence is clear: 6G technologies enable healthcare services that are simultaneously more accessible, more equitable, more sustainable, and more economically viable than existing models.
