The Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) says it has formed a Working Group, sought by FDA, focusing on 5G-enabled health technologies. MDIC [says](https://mdic.org/news/mdic-launches-new-5g-working-group/?ref=fdaweb.com) working group stakeholders are subject matter experts and senior-level executives from medical device manufacturers, 5G network operators, 5G chipset and network equipment manufacturers, wireless service providers, test laboratories and test equipment manufacturers, standard development organizations, academic research groups, and FDA.

Topics and activities envisioned by the working group are: 

- identifying medical device 5G use-cases and best practices for 5G integration;
- outlining evaluation methods for the safe and effective use of 5G in medical devices;
- incorporating telecommunication technology suppliers in the medical device supply chain; and
- managing the relationship between the device manufacturer, network operators, and the end-user throughout the pre-market and post-market cycle.
