In what some are calling the next iteration of the internet, the metaverse is an unfamiliar digital world where you could be an avatar navigating computer-generated places and interacting with others in real time. In this space, the constraints of our physical, bricks and mortar world and travel habits fade. And new opportunities and challenges emerge.

For example:

  • Google in healthcare: The search giant has repeatedly successfully transferred its in-depth knowledge of algorithms in the field of medicine, particularly since it acquired DeepMind.
  • Apple in healthcare: Apple will keep on working on expanding the health features of its devices, Apple Watch and iPhones included.
  • Microsoft in healthcare: Microsoft’s cloud solutions provide integrated capabilities that make it easier to improve the healthcare experience.
  • Amazon in healthcare: Amazon will make further use of its vast knowledge of online shopping trends and behavior and will keep on providing what people need, from medicine to wearables.
  • IBM in healthcare: IBM has a lot to offer in federated learning, blockchain, and quantum computing.
  • Nvidia in healthcare: NVIDIA seems incredibly focused on its approach to healthcare. We can expect NVIDIA to be a leader in the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
  • Facebook in healthcare: The Metaverse developed by Facebook/Meta has incredible potential to revolutionize healthcare.

All this technology has huge potential because it uses both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology to work in virtual spaces: All signs point to the metaverse being widely used as a disruptive change in healthcare, from better surgical precision to therapeutic uses to social-distance accommodations and more.

But along with these improvements come new problems that will change what we know about modern healthcare. The metaverse is a paradigm shift in healthcare that everyone involved needs to be aware of. This is because it changes how medical infrastructure is built, how startup costs are covered, and how data security and privacy are handled.

But along with these improvements come new problems that will change what we know about modern healthcare. The metaverse is a paradigm shift in healthcare that everyone involved needs to be aware of. This is because it changes how medical infrastructure is built, how startup costs are covered, and how data security and privacy are handled.

A Health Care – Gaming Industry – Social Network

By Staff Writers 

mac-computer2Gaming4Health is an interactive social network for the health care industry. The company provides its’ community with the information, resources and services to support the adoption of healthy gaming as a means to improve health education, condition management, fitness and quality of life.

The Social Network

The communities established by the users of the network site allow people with similar health goals, conditions, research ideas or challenges to communicate with other like-minded people from all over the world. It also facilitates interaction and commerce between researchers and developers of healthy games, devices and resources and health and wellness organizations.

The Experts

The G4H network of experts in the medical, fitness, rehabilitation, weight-loss, simulation and other fields supposedly provide the most up-to-date information, resources, research and solutions in the healthy gaming industry.

The Competitor

Games for Health is a competitor. And, in business circles, it is said that competition makes a market. Games for Health develops best practice platforms for the numerous games being built for health care applications.

Conclusion

And so, your thoughts and comments on this Medical Executive-Post are appreciated. Virtual reality and related simulation software, especially when used to desensitize patients with various phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders, is an accepted theory and clinical psychological practice. Will this gaming concept become same? Is it cost effective with a positive ROI? Should it be a covered service under health insurance policies? Any input or thoughts from our early adopter ME-P subscribers?
