The increasing demands of current challenges such as chronic diseases, an insufficient health staff and restricted resources, and rising expenses, the healthcare system appears to be volatile.
The pandemic pushed healthcare digitisation and automation, and digital services such as telemedicine became commonplace.
And now, metaverse technologies are all set to create magic in the healthcare sector. The global Virtual Reality in healthcare market is projected to reach $6.20 billion by 2029.
Example1:
Yashoda Hospital Hyderabad is the nation’s first healthcare organisation to have a presence on a metaverse platform. It has purchased a plot of virtual on the most popular metaverse platform, Decentraland.
It has established an experience zone to commemorate its more than 30 years of healthcare service to the people.
Example 2:
Along with this, Apollo Hospital, the Chennai-based Indian multinational healthcare group, has also launched a unique collaboration with California-based 8chili Inc to enable metaverse involvement.
Many startups are rising in the AR/VR sector. 82% of healthcare professionals say VR is an efficient tool for education, and 62% of patients are ready to try VR as an alternative to routine care.
Example 3:
The UK based Latus Healthcare is developing a virtual hospital where treatments will first be focused on physiotherapy services. The healthcare aims to treat 1 million patients a day.
Use Cases and Examples:
Medical Education
Metaverse implementations transform medical education by providing a realistic environment to learn from experience and apply knowledge

Example:
Microsoft’s HoloLens software, HoloAnatomy, can display the human body in an accessible and appealing manner. Students will be able to experience the human body in 3D rather than the typical working style of written descriptions in books.
Anatomy learning
Anatomage VR provides an opportunity to explore Anatomage’s real human bodies in the metaverse. Highly realistic 3D models of bones, organs, tissues, blood vessels and muscles allows closer virtual inspection at any angle and significantly improves anatomy understanding.
Example:
Curiscope, based in the United Kingdom, creates immersive learning experiences in virtual and augmented reality. They have created a Virtuali-tee T-shirt, which allows you to see the inner parts of the human body through realistic holograms.
Surgery simulation
Doctors and even patients understand that when it comes to surgery, precision is critical. AR can now assist surgeons in becoming more efficient during procedures.
Example:
Sync AR has developed a software programme to give surgeons “X-ray vision” by fusing digitally enhanced images directly into the microscope of a surgical device.
SyncAR is a collaboration between the Los Angeles-based health IT innovators Surgical Theater and the Irish medical equipment manufacturer Medtronic.
Maintain Physical Health
With the rising concern of maintaining our physical health, communities all around the world are looking for new methods to stay physically active.
Example:
Imagine that you are walking through a dark forest, and you suddenly hear the growling and slow movement of a weird monster. Even the laziest person would speed up after realising that a zombie is after them. This is the basic concept behind the Zombies, Run! application.
