How technology is transforming the future of healthcare

In this post, we'll explore some of the ways web3 and immersive metaverse technology will transform our healthcare systems—leading to better health outcomes for everyone.

The era of healthcare metaverse

In the future, immersive metaverse technologies have the potential to improve access to healthcare providers. For example, imagine if it were possible to conduct a telehealth consultation with your doctor in the Metaverse, especially for common complaints or simple conditions that don't need to be diagnosed visually.

We may also be able to visit virtual hospitals or clinics in the Metaverse — or consult a doctor practicing around the world from our site. Immersive virtual reality visits could be a real boon for areas of the world that suffer from a shortage of doctors or where people usually have to travel long distances to get consultations with specialists.

Using digital twins to inform treatment

The online healthcare of the future will offer many exciting and cutting-edge opportunities, including the use of digital twins – virtual simulations of patients – to deliver personalized and precise care.

Healthcare providers can use these digital representations of patients' bodies to predict how real-world individuals will recover from surgery, illness, or respond to medications. Providers will be able to run tests, design personalized treatment and rehabilitation plans, or even “populate” our digital twins to see how interventions will affect us in the future.

Medical training and specialized treatment in the Metaverse

Companies and healthcare organizations use immersive technologies to provide medical training to doctors and other health practitioners. FundamentalVR – a virtual reality medical education platform accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England – has developed a virtual reality solution that acts as a flight simulator for surgeons, so they can practice in a controlled environment before performing surgeries on real patients.

Virtual reality-based therapy can also be used to treat mental health conditions. By allowing patients to immerse themselves in a simulated environment, they can experience situations that would be difficult or impossible to recreate in the real world. This can help patients process their feelings and experiences in a safe place and gain knowledge and skills that can help them in their daily lives.

How Web3 can democratize healthcare

Blockchain technology could also have a significant impact on healthcare, especially regarding medical data. Web3 technologies will provide a secure platform for patients to store and manage their sensitive health data, such as test results and prescriptions. It will also allow them to share this data with healthcare providers while still controlling who can access their private information.

Decentralizing healthcare will also help us shift from large, centralized systems – where care is delivered primarily in hospitals and large clinics – to a more distributed model where services are delivered in different settings such as community health centres, primary care clinics and health care centres. Even the homes of the sick.

In a decentralized system where the patient has complete control over all of their data, it would be easy to switch providers or share anonymized data with medical researchers if we so chose. Decentralization can also be used to improve healthcare in rural and remote areas by providing healthcare services through telemedicine and other technology-enabled solutions.
