Top 3 Use Cases of Metaverse in Healthcare Market:

  • Telemedicine and Virtual Consultations: The metaverse can facilitate virtual doctor-patient interactions and consultations, enabling healthcare professionals to provide remote care. Patients can access healthcare services from the comfort of their homes, reducing the need for physical visits and improving access to healthcare, especially for individuals in remote areas.
  • Medical Education and Training: The metaverse can enhance medical education and training by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. Medical students and professionals can engage in virtual simulations, surgical training, and medical conferences, improving their knowledge and skills in a realistic virtual environment.
  • Rehabilitation and Therapy: The metaverse can be used for virtual rehabilitation and therapy programs. Patients recovering from injuries or undergoing rehabilitation can engage in immersive virtual environments that simulate real-world scenarios. Virtual reality-based therapy can also be used for pain management, phobia treatment, and mental health interventions.
  • These use cases demonstrate how the metaverse can revolutionize healthcare delivery, education, and rehabilitation, offering new opportunities for enhanced patient care, improved access to services, and innovative training methods for healthcare professionals.

Hypothetic Challenges of Metaverse in Healthcare Market in Near Future:

  • Privacy and Security: Ensuring the privacy and security of patient data within the metaverse ecosystem will be a major challenge. Robust measures need to be in place to protect sensitive medical information from unauthorized access or breaches.
  • Ethical Considerations: The use of metaverse technology in healthcare raises ethical concerns. Issues such as informed consent, data ownership, and the potential for bias in virtual healthcare experiences need to be addressed to ensure ethical and equitable healthcare delivery.
  • Integration and Interoperability: Integrating the metaverse platforms with existing healthcare systems and infrastructure may pose challenges. Seamless connectivity between the metaverse and electronic health records, medical devices, and other healthcare technologies is essential for effective healthcare delivery.
  • Regulatory and Legal Framework: There may be regulatory and legal considerations surrounding the use of the metaverse in healthcare. Establishing licensing requirements for virtual healthcare providers and defining guidelines and standards for virtual care practices will be necessary.
  • Accessibility and Equity: Ensuring equal access and equitable distribution of metaverse-based healthcare services will be a challenge. Bridging the digital divide and providing access to underserved populations will be crucial for the widespread adoption of metaverse healthcare solutions.
  • User Acceptance and Adoption: Encouraging user acceptance and adoption of metaverse technologies in healthcare may require education and training for both healthcare professionals and patients. Overcoming resistance to change and building trust in virtual healthcare experiences will be important.
  • Technical Infrastructure and Connectivity: The successful implementation of metaverse technology in healthcare relies on robust technical infrastructure and reliable connectivity. Adequate network bandwidth, low latency, and seamless connectivity are crucial for real-time virtual healthcare interactions.
  • Cost and Sustainability: The cost implications of implementing and maintaining metaverse-based healthcare solutions may pose challenges. Assessing the cost-effectiveness and long-term sustainability of such technologies will be important considerations.
  • Quality Assurance and Standardization: Establishing quality assurance mechanisms and standardization protocols for metaverse-based healthcare services will be crucial. Ensuring consistent and high-quality care across different virtual platforms will be essential for patient safety and outcomes.
  • Cultural and Social Acceptance: The cultural and social acceptance of metaverse technologies in healthcare may vary across different regions and communities. Addressing cultural sensitivities and adapting virtual healthcare experiences to diverse populations will be important for successful adoption.

It is important to note that these challenges are hypothetical and may vary depending on the actual implementation and evolution of the metaverse in the healthcare industry.

Some of the key benefits of metaverse in medical training are as follows:

  • Metaverse increases the effectiveness of on-the-job and on-campus training by imitating real-life scenarios, thus allowing students to learn more quickly and confidently. It also gives feedback and evaluates skill development.
  • Employing digital twin technology to create test dummies can provide insights into a patient's response to therapies, surgical results, potential difficulties with medical products, and other aspects. XR enables medical students to practice in a simulated environment for extensive surgical education at a fraction of the cost of operating on cadavers.
  • The customized content captured with XR can be used as desired. Live broadcasting of lectures allows for real-time interaction with lecturers.
  • Using VR will aid in the execution of practical processes that are too dangerous or expensive to realistically model. It promotes correct conceptual understanding while remaining in a risk-free environment.
  • XR transforms invasive surgeries by allowing doctors to film themselves executing medical procedures. Surgeons may visualize the patient's anatomy, including bones and tissue, before making an incision by superimposing AR and VR-based models on the patient.
  • A large amount of data gathered in the metaverse will aid in decision-making and lessen the cognitive burden.
  • Some of the recent developments in the metaverse education sector are as follows:
  • In December 2022, Wolters Kluwer Health (Netherlands), a major global provider of healthcare information and point-of-care solutions, partnered with BioDigital XR (US). This collaboration will provide immersive, safe-to-fail environments with both VR and AR solutions to students throughout the healthcare landscape to enrich their learning curricula.
  • In December 2021, Global Healthcare Academy (India), India's first Healthcare EdTech academy and a pioneer in value-added healthcare training solutions, partnered with 8chili (US) to bring healthcare training and medical education to the metaverse. The collaboration has already released more than 200 hours of VR content in a variety of subspecialties, such as dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, skull base, spine, neurology, ENT, paramedics, nursing, and oncology.
  • In November 2021, Novarad Corporation (US), a pioneer in the creation of medical imaging software, launched one of its AR software for higher education, which will be accessible at a significantly reduced cost to academic institutions. By displaying a 3D holographic view of any donor study performed with a CT machine using a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset, the OpenSight Augmented Reality System for Education will anchor itself in classrooms to provide students and teachers with an immersive and participatory experience.
