The global market projection foresees a staggering CAGR of 35.28% and a valuation of $54.47 billion by 2030. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have propelled medical training, teaching modules, and surgical procedures to unprecedented precision. However, these advancements are not without their challenges. Examining the Metaverse in Healthcare: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions delves into the intricacies of this technological paradigm shift, dissecting the opportunities, challenges, and future directions it presents. The book navigates the complexities of integrating these technologies, exploring how the metaverse builds upon existing concepts such as Virtual Clinics, AI utilization, augmented reality, Human Digital Twins, medical simulations, and robotics. It examines the impact on patient and clinician experiences, identifying the gaps and obstacles that must be overcome.
