Abstract
Active use of immersive technologies in medicine. The development of IT leads to the emergence of new digital products that are actively used in medicine. Further development leads to the transfer of some medical services to the metaverse – the concept of Metahospital is formed. This article provides a systematic review of research to determine the prevalence and current state of the use of immersive technologies for the development of digital health products. Studies from leading scientific databases were reviewed. The results show that research interest in the use of immersive technologies in medicine has increased significantly over the past ten years, peaking during the pandemic. Immersive technologies are the most common types of technologies used in medicine for training, practical training, telemedicine, and diagnostics. In addition, our own software product is described – a coronary artery stenting simulator using virtual reality technology. A description of the model and the results of a survey on the effectiveness of using immersive technologies among medical school students are provided.
