Industry 5.0 introduces a combination of technologies to improve sustainability, resiliency, and human-centered applications in the manufacturing environment. Similar to Industry 5.0, Healthcare 5.0 integrates emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Big Data, Drones & Robotics, Digital Twin (DT), 6G, cloud/edge computing, and nanotechnology. These technologies offer significant benefits to society focusing on human wellbeing, wellness monitoring, personalized healthcare services, and sustainability. However, Healthcare 5.0 faces its own set of unique challenges. To respond to these challenges, Lean principles offer an excellent set of tools to increase the impact of Healthcare 5.0 technologies by improving efficiency and productivity while eliminating waste. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the role of Lean principles in maximizing the impact of Healthcare 5.0 technologies. Our analysis indicates that AI is the core technology utilizing Lean principles, with robotics and DT also playing key roles. In contrast, nanotechnology has the least connection with Lean principles among the Healthcare 5.0 technologies examined. Overall, this study offers one of the earliest efforts investigating the integration of Lean principles with Healthcare 5.0 technologies, shedding light on their potential to advance healthcare.
