About

Dr. Jaana Laiho is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of telecommunications and healthcare, with her work centered on ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) for critical medical applications. Her most cited paper, "5G Mobile Systems for Healthcare" (2017, 54 citations), establishes her as a key architect of next-generation mobile networks for life-saving use cases. In this seminal work, Laiho systematically defines the stringent technical requirements for Wireless Tele Surgery (WTS), where a mobile console enables remote robotic platforms to transmit real-time video, audio, and haptic feedback—a breakthrough that demands near-zero latency and absolute reliability. She also advances the concept of Wireless Service Robots (WSR) as companion assistants in clinical settings. By bridging the gap between 5G engineering and patient care, Laiho’s contributions have shaped the roadmap for network slicing and edge computing in healthcare. Her research demonstrates how mobile systems can transcend entertainment and communication to become critical infrastructure for remote surgery and robotic assistance, earning her recognition as a thought leader in the emerging field of connected health.
