Among other industries, healthcare too will have opportunities to benefit from this technology, especially telemedicine, where the patient can experience near to real-life consultation experience. the other area which could see a large transformation is in medical education, conferences, etc. where participants and trainers can interact via their avatars just like they interact in person. At Yashoda Hospitals we intended to develop medical education and training ecosystem on the metaverse. And in the future build virtual clinics and hospitals as and when the technology gears up,” Dr. Gorukanti told Financial Express.com.
The metaverse is a fusion of physical, augmented, and virtual reality and it is a public virtual world that may be accessed via the internet. Moreover, it creates a “virtual world” experience by simulating human emotions and gestures. Interestingly, the metaverse encompasses the entire social and economic structure that exists in both the actual and virtual worlds.
