Abstract:
Background and Aim: Today, with the increasing growth of virtual reality and augmented reality simulation technologies, we are witnessing progress in human life and on the one hand, using new technologies in the field of medical and health sciences plays a very important and fundamental role for the continuation of human life and among these technologies is metaverse. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to investigate the role and position of Metaverse in improving healthcare and treatment.
Methods: The current research is of a theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the data collection method was the data collection tool from the evidence sources of Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases.
Ethical Considerations: In all stages of writing the present research, while respecting the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.
Results: Based on research findings, Metaverse in healthcare uses technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and advanced digital platforms to create a dynamic and interconnected virtual healthcare ecosystem. In the healthcare context, the term metaverse refers to an immersive digital environment where patients, healthcare providers, researchers and medical professionals can interact, collaborate and participate in various healthcare-related activities.
Conclusion: Metaverse has grown rapidly in healthcare and ushered in a new era of medical possibilities. Metaverse cannot replace clinical practice. Interacting with patients is an essential skill that healthcare professionals acquire. Metaverse can be incorporated to enhance the quality of education, research and patient care. This can bring new possibilities to facilitate healthcare professionals. Technologies and Metaverse can be used in various fields of medicine and this application can benefit patients, healthcare providers and make them more accessible, efficient and patient-centered.
