The healthcare industry is one sector that has been heavily focused on creating open, interoperable, and interactive medical services. When assets from multiple networks and platforms can move seamlessly, the healthcare Metaverse will be complete. For example, digital avatars, 3D models, and spatial environments are all forms of assets that can be accessed with a metaverse. Using metadata, these assets are packaged into content packages. The healthcare industry is a prime candidate for implementing a metaverse.

The term metaverse refers to a broader continuum of immersive digital experiences that allow users to participate in a wide range of activities in both virtual and physical spaces. The Metaverse could encompass a massive virtual reality multiplayer game, a game where participants interact with real-world objects, and integrated digital and physical spaces. It may also include a world that allows users to access location-specific immersive digital content using digital glasses or smartphone applications.

Beyond the virtual world, the metaverse is reshaping the way we work. For example, it enables new forms of team collaboration and the emergence of virtual colleagues. It also accelerates learning and a metaverse economy will eventually lead to new enterprises. However, large enterprises need to act quickly to stay ahead of the competition. In addition, enterprises need to be ready to deploy metaverse technologies to offer employees the immersive, collaborative, and interactive work experience they desire.
