Metaverse uses many virtual and augmented reality tools that can greatly improve patient care. For example, VR-based telemedicine consultations can help bridge access gaps in rural and other geographic settings where in-person doctor visits are difficult.

A virtual pharmacy also allows patients to pick up prescriptions from the Metaverse, and medicines are delivered to nursing homes.

Observers believe that by overcoming the challenges of implementing the Metaverse and leveraging the Metaverse for patient care, geriatric operators can gain similar benefits to those already achieved with AR and VR. I’m here.
