It is the Metaverse's potential to create new directions in healthcare by combining technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, the Internet of Medical Devices, Web 3.0, intelligent cloud, edge, and quantum computing, as well as robotics. Nevertheless, the more pressing issue is whether it can reduce costs while embedding them all together in a new health metaverse while remaining compliant with regulations.
It would still take couple of more years before technology integration reaches that point wherein all systems are able to communicate with Metaverse; but yes it does have potential to transform medical training and pre-operation planning. It can reduce the training cost, provided existing training content format can be standardize and made portable to Metaverse environment.
Dear Mohammad Nasfikur Rahman Khan
We are using AR and VR in Medical Sciences before, and also GPS is helping us against COVID.

Dr. Erik Malcolm Champion , would you please suggest some examples on "visually captured body to instructions". Thanks in advance.
Please share with me the insights of S Metaverse, Dr. Manju bargavi Dr
This article by McKight et al. (2020) has some interesting insights in the use of AR and VR for medical training which is what I am mostly familiar with.

Thanks, Mr. Kelley,
I will look into this and please share with me if you have some other papers relevant to this topic.
The Metaverse is a persistent multiuser networked environment merging physical reality with digital virtuality [1]. Its two fundamental technologies, VR and AR are already having a tangible impact in health education and training [2,3] as Prof Erik Malcolm Champion explained. Hence, Mohammad Nasfikur Rahman Khan, in addition to the useful suggestion by Brendan Kelley, I recommend looking into the following articles:

Dr. Stylianos Mystakidis, it is a great paper on Metaverse. I am really interested to work with you (as a Volunteer Research Assistant) in the field of Metaverse (Medical Assistance) if there is any possibility.
Mohammad Nasfikur Rahman Khan I am glad you liked the paper. Do you have any concrete ideas on Metaverse-related research? Feel free to contact me directly.
How can Metaverse create an impact on the field of Medical Sciences?
