The term “metaverse” is a made up word that refers to a future version of the internet that is composed of continuous, shareable, 3D virtual places that are linked into a projected virtual cosmos.
Users have been transformed into digital data sources in today’s society. We generate hundreds of gigabytes of data every day, which is gathered and processed by different data businesses for mostly commercial objectives. We’ve evolved into autonomous beings.
Though Metaverse is still emerging, it has great promise in healthcare, combining technologies such as AI, VR, AR, IoMD, Web 3.0, adaptive cloud, edge, and quantum computing, as well as robots, to provide new avenues in health care system.
Let’s take a closer look at a few of the metaverse’s features which are already making an impact in healthcare.
01.Augmented reality can be used in surgeries
Augmented reality is currently being used in complex procedures. Doctors are focusing on new techniques to do these surgeries with accuracy, whether it’s removing dangerous tumors or completing a difficult hip surgery. Machines, often known as robot aided surgery, has been used to execute complex procedures with efficiency and adaptability for some time.
02.Virtual Reality can be used for medical training
Virtual Reality can take you into the human body, allowing you to observe and interact with areas that are often inaccessible.
03.Virtual reality can be used to educate patients
Patients can virtually walk inside a VR simulation of their anatomy and pathology to be guided through their surgical plan. As a result, patients have a better grasp of their treatments and, as a result, are more satisfied.
04.Virtual reality can be used to alleviate pain in patients
Virtual reality’s healing qualities aren’t only restricted to mental concerns; they’ve also been shown to help with pain management and physical treatment.
