Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted healthcare advancements, enhanced security and efficiency, and reduced disease transmission. The industry rapidly addresses technological gaps and growing service demands. The pandemic has driven a pivotal shift from Healthcare 4.0 to Healthcare 5.0. Healthcare 4.0 emphasizes technology-centered care, whereas Healthcare 5.0 prioritizes patient-centric, personalized, and participatory approaches. This review assesses COVID-19’s impact on this transition, comparing pre-pandemic and pandemic literature. It examines how digital tools enable healthcare providers to deliver patient-centered and personalized care, fostering a shift from Healthcare 4.0 to Healthcare 5.0.
