About

Dr. Marvin Manalastas is a leading researcher in the intersection of wireless communications and digital health, with a primary focus on 5G-enabled healthcare applications. His most cited work, "Communication Requirements in 5G-Enabled Healthcare Applications: Review and Considerations" (2022, 75 citations), provides a critical framework for understanding the diverse technical demands that next-generation healthcare solutions place on radio communication networks. This foundational review has become essential reading for developers and network professionals, bridging the gap between clinical needs and telecommunications engineering. Dr. Manalastas’s contributions help define the performance metrics—latency, reliability, and bandwidth—necessary for remote surgery, real-time patient monitoring, and emergency response systems. By systematically cataloging these requirements, his work guides the design of robust, low-latency 5G infrastructures that can safely support life-critical medical applications. His research continues to shape how the healthcare sector leverages advanced connectivity, ensuring that technological innovation translates directly into improved patient outcomes and operational efficiency in clinical settings.
