Chapter 2 The role of metaverse in transforming healthcare: blockchain approach
-
Ch.E.N. Sai Priya
Abstract
Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing the way we live, work, and connect with each other. One of the most notable impacts is that advancements in technology have greatly transformed the healthcare industry, revolutionizing patient care, diagnostics, treatment, and overall healthcare management. The two most emerging technologies that revolutionize the healthcare sector are blockchain and metaverse. Blockchain technology has emerged as a game changer in healthcare, revolutionizing data security and patient privacy. The metaverse offers innovative possibilities in healthcare systems by providing virtual platforms for telemedicine, medical education, and patient support. This chapter deals with how the integration of blockchain and metaverse would revolutionize emerging healthcare and its impacts, benefits, and uses. This abstract also explores the transformative impact of blockchain technology in the healthcare industry within the metaverse. The current healthcare system faces numerous challenges, including fragmented and siloed patient data, security and privacy concerns, and interoperability issues. The combination of blockchain and the metaverse has the potential to reshape healthcare delivery, promoting transparency, trust, and innovation in the digital healthcare landscape. By combining the security and transparency of blockchain with the immersive experiences of the metaverse, patient data can be securely shared, medical records can be easily accessed, and virtual healthcare interactions can be conducted with enhanced privacy and trust. The future holds immense promise as blockchain and the metaverse continue to shape the healthcare landscape, forging a new era of patientcentric, interconnected healthcare systems. The combination of blockchain and the metaverse has a profound impact on the health sector, transforming data management, care delivery, patient empowerment, and research collaboration. These technologies hold great potential to improve healthcare outcomes, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation, ultimately benefiting patients, healthcare providers, and the entire industry.
