Metaverse: Evolving role in healthcare delivery and implications

Abstract

Metaverse, or the immersive internet, is touted as the next considerable technology-led disruption on the horizon, which can potentially disrupt clinician-patient interactions, patient experience, innovation and research and development processes. Metaverse is still in the evolution phase, and its firm definition framework is a work in progress. Surgical training allows the trainees to mimic procedures and simulate cross-collaborations within time and space, shortening the learning cycles. Similarly, patient experiences can be built by creating unique experiences replicating the real world without constraints. At the same time, the care providers can foster greater empathy while serving the patients with regular or special specific needs per disease conditions.
