Abstract

Introduction

The metaverse, a convergence of virtual, augmented, and physical realities, is revolutionizing healthcare delivery, education, and patient engagement. Its backbone technologies include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the internet of things (IoT).

Methods

A qualitative synthesis was conducted using peer-reviewed literature retrieved from electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The search was restricted to studies published between 2010 and 2023, focusing on metaverse applications in healthcare, such as surgery, education, diagnostics, and telemedicine.

Results

Findings revealed the metaverse’s integration into various domains, such as XR-assisted surgeries (., Johns Hopkins' AR spine surgery), immersive VR-based rehabilitation, AR-enhanced diagnostics, and AI-driven simulations. Platforms, like Tetra Signum and WHO’s XR training programs, have demonstrated clinical efficacy. Holographic modeling and digital twins have been found to be increasingly used in surgical planning and remote consultation.

Discussion

The metaverse has been found to foster real-time, multimodal interaction among clinicians and patients. However, issues, such as data privacy, interoperability, access disparities, and legal ambiguity, challenge full-scale adoption. Ethical implementation and infrastructure upgrades are crucial for equitable integration.

Conclusion

Metaverse technologies are transforming traditional medicine into a proactive, personalized, and data-driven system. By embedding immersive experiences into clinical and educational workflows, they promise enhanced outcomes and democratized access to healthcare knowledge. Strategic policies and ethical safeguards are essential to unlock their full potential.
