6G-enabled Connected and Autonomous Response for eHealth

Objective

6G-CARE will deploy six use cases across trial sites in Belgium, Greece, France, the UK, Luxembourg, and Spain, each addressing a distinct healthcare challenge while assessing performance, sustainability, and scalability under real-world conditions.
Healthcare systems across Europe face increasing pressure from ageing populations, rising costs, and shortages of medical staff. At the same time, demand is growing for efficient, personalised, and accessible healthcare services, including in remote and emergency settings. 6G-CARE addresses these challenges by integrating advanced 6G enablers into a modular, interoperable platform co-designed with medical stakeholders to ensure clinical relevance and practical impact.
Healthcare is the primary vertical, with emergency response as a complementary focus, reflecting their shared need for AI-based, ultra-reliable, low-latency communications and secure data exchange. The project adopts a framework based on existing SNS and open-source platforms, enabling seamless integration with healthcare systems and ensuring reusability for other verticals. Each trial site will conduct end-to-end testing to validate KPIs and KVIs, with strong emphasis on societal, environmental, and economic sustainability.
6G-CARE delivers 16 technology components, from deployable private 5G/6G networks and quality-on-demand orchestration to AI wearables, VR rehabilitation, holographic communication, and digital twin-based trial management. It will feed real-world requirements into standardisation while ensuring outcomes are market-ready through strong SME, healthcare, and industry involvement.
By combining advanced 6G enablers with socio-economic evaluation, 6G-CARE will demonstrate better outcomes for the healthcare sector, lower environmental impact, and greater system resilience. Its results will serve as a blueprint for scaling secure, sustainable e-health services across Europe, strengthening EU leadership in 6G-enabled healthcare.
