Science fiction continues to be a medium for futuristic technology revolutions with many creative inventions and technology steaming from Hollywood stories such as Star Wars, The Matrix, Blade Runner, etc. The term “metaverse” was first coined in Neal Stephenson’s 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, where he described it as “the virtual reality world that will come to be as ubiquitous and important as the Internet is today.”
Healthcare in the metaverse has the potential to be an interactive, immersive, and recreational experience tailored to every individual. It can provide new opportunities for healthcare providers to interact with patients in more intimate ways, such as walking through a three-dimensional model of the human body with patients, discussing diagnoses and treatments. This would allow providers to simulate the effect of a proposed treatment on the patient’s body before it is applied, creating a more personal and informative experience compared to what is currently possible with two-dimensional images on a screen.
Additionally, the metaverse could be an excellent place for people to socialize and interact with others dealing with similar health issues, providing a much-needed sense of community and support for people often isolated by their conditions. The metaverse has immense potential to change the way we think about healthcare, leading to a more intimate, immersive, and enlightening medical experience with a sense of community and support for those who need it the most. It is an exciting new frontier for healthcare technology to explore.
