Abstract
The healthcare industry is gradually realising the revolutionary potential of metaverse technology, with specific attention to how it may affect patient participation, and medical education. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the potential effects of metaverse technology on patient outcomes, inclusion, and healthcare inequities. The installation of mobile clinics, interactive surgical training simulations and patient-centred educational experiences, all of which demonstrate the diverse applications of metaverse technology for healthcare are highlighted in the chapter. It draws attention to the function of augmented reality (AR) and using virtual reality (VR) to create dynamic and engaging experiences for patients, teachers, and healthcare professionals. Overall, the chapter concludes that while metaverse technology has great potential to transform healthcare, careful consideration of security, privacy, and ethical issues is more crucial than ever to fully realize the benefits of technology.
