1. A server system associated with a 5G telecommunications network for providing network slicing connections in a healthcare management system, the server system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the server system to:
receive, from a first device associated with the healthcare management system, a first request to schedule a first healthcare session between the first device and a second device associated with the healthcare management system via the 5G telecommunications network,
wherein the first request is received from a software application for managing healthcare sessions operating on the first device, and
wherein the first request indicates: (1) a type of the first healthcare session selected from multiple healthcare session types, and (2) a scheduled first time for the first healthcare session;
receive, from the first device, a second request to schedule a second healthcare session related to the first healthcare session between the first device and a third device at a second time subsequent to the first time;
determine whether the first device and the third device are located within a threshold distance from each other;
transmit a third request to schedule the first healthcare session to the second device;
transmit a fourth request to schedule the second healthcare session to the third device;
responsive to receiving an acceptance of scheduling the first healthcare session from the second device:
determine, based on the type of the first healthcare session and the scheduled time, a bandwidth allocation for a first network slice of the 5G telecommunications network required for conducting the first healthcare session;
associate the first network slice with the first device and the second device;
at the first time of the scheduled first healthcare session, establish a 5G wireless connection between the first device and the second device via the first network slice; and
responsive to receiving an acceptance for the second healthcare session from the third device and determining that the first device and the third device are located within the threshold distance from each other, establish a local area network (LAN) connection between the first device and the third device at the second time.
