Unveiling the Future

Abstract

The Metaverse, a virtual world created by the internet's evolution, has blurred the lines between the physical and virtual worlds. Blockchain technology and digital twins have emerged as innovative solutions to this digital transformation. This chapter explores the synergy between blockchain technology and digital twins in healthcare data management within the Metaverse. The primary objective is to develop a privacy-aware biometric blockchain system that preserves, authenticates, and verifies healthcare data in real-time. This study pioneers a paradigm shift in healthcare data management, leveraging the transformative potential of the Metaverse. A comprehensive literature study was conducted to understand the evolution of the internet, blockchain technology, and digital twins. The results demonstrate the transformative potential of the proposed privacy preservation in metaverse healthcare data management.
