Benefits of Metaverse in the Health Sector
Indeed, the health industry itself continues to develop in order to heal and save people from various diseases and injuries.
Metaverse for the Health Sector
And when we look at the metaverse that will be developed by Meta Inc., it has been seen to be able to be used by the healthcare industry better.
Of course, this is becoming a promising and lucrative opportunity in the healthcare industry and it is worth a try.
With metaverse, patients can get access to health services more easily, without geographical restrictions, virtual health and wellness, and only to connect with people with the same complaints.
Mental treatment or some kind of counseling can also be done in the metaverse, no matter how far the patient is from the doctor.
In fact, medical education can also be done from home, so that obstacles such as distance, tuition fees and living far away, or certain practices, can be done easily in the virtual world, together.
In addition, the metaverse in the healthcare sector is predicted to help healthcare professionals in various fields through this combination of technologies.
It could be said that, the virtual world has the potential to be the next frontier in this ever-bustling sector.
According to a report from InformationWeek, the metaverse is particularly useful in these three areas:
Surgery
The presence of the metaverse will complement what surgeons have been doing when using VR, AR and AI (artificial intelligence) technologies.
In the virtual world, surgeons can come together to interpret operations, schedule and perform them. That's because they can simultaneously see a 3-dimensional view of the patient.
Mental health
Treating mental problems, depression, psychosis, schizophrenia and anxiety can be done more easily in the metaverse without any barriers.
Treatment with therapeutic and face-to-face methods can be done without problems in the virtual world. So, this will really make it easier for patients, especially those who find it difficult to get out of the house because of their non-physical problems.
Medical education
Conducting education to become a doctor and health expert can be done from the metaverse. Regardless of distance, everyone can get the same education here.
Some practical learning can also be done here, so that from an experience point of view, it is hoped that there will be more for prospective doctors.
Of course, the healthcare industry is one of many that can make good use of the metaverse. So, it's only a matter of time before everything comes in virtual form. Lets watch.
