Is 5G Making You Sick? Here’s What Experts Say If you own a smartphone or similar device, you could be using 5G. Cellular networks worldwide are rolling out the fifth-generation mobile technology, providing high-speed wireless connections. But it can be unnerving to think about what’s transmitted through the air that we can’t see—particularly if there’s concern 5G may affect your well-being. If you’re worried electromagnetic radiation is connected to cancer or other health problems, find out everything you need to know about how 5G works, according to experts and research. Developed in 2019, 5G is associated with the latest version of wireless communications being made available for broad public use, explains Christopher Collins, Ph.D., a professor of radiology at New York University. When you use your phone to communicate with other devices, cellular data is sent through radio frequencies (RFs). Calls and other functions are connected through a series of base stations called “cells” that cover certain geographic regions, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).The radiofrequency 5G uses is higher than the previous iterations of wireless communication, including 4G and 3G, says Henk De Feyter, Ph.D., an assistant professor of radiology and biomedical imaging at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. That’s what sets it apart. But otherwise, he says the technology works the same way, by producing electromagnetic waves for information to be sent and received.

💡 Raising Awareness about Atrial Fibrillation (AF) 💡 After more than two years of working intensively on detecting atrial fibrillation—one of the most common and serious cardiac arrhythmias—I’ve gained valuable insights into this condition. Through numerous hospital visits, in-depth discussions with cardiologists, and interacting with patients who have lived with AF for 10, 20 years or more, I’ve come to realize the critical importance of early detection. With the right medication and proper advice from healthcare professionals, many of these individuals are living full, healthy lives. AF can be silent but dangerous. It begins with palpitations of very small duration. However dangerous AF is, we have come a long way in managing it—there is nothing to panic about. Early identification through wearables, has the potential to save lives. My work focuses on developing lightweight, efficient, real-time algorithms that can empower individuals and healthcare providers to monitor heart health more effectively. I’m also hoping to turn this into a full-fledged technology in the near future to make AF detection more accessible. If you or someone you know is at risk, I encourage you to stay informed and prioritize heart health. Let's continue spreading awareness about this life-saving technology! Check out some of our work to know about AF: Research Paper: https://lnkd.in/dj57-Gv9 Forever grateful to my supervisors Dr. Ram Bilas Pachori and Dr. M. Sabarimalai Manikandan for their guidance and my ICMR project co-researchers, Achinta Mondal, Dr. Shailesh Mohine, Aditya Nalwaya, Himanshu Singh, PhD, Jomole Varghese V, Sivrenjini, Yusra, Kranthi, and Sivanjaneyulu for their help and support throughout the ICMR project. I also express my gratitude to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the funding for this research.
