Metaverse-Enabling IoT Technology for a Futuristic Healthcare System

Abstract

Combining the Metaverse and IoT has huge potential to change healthcare systems. In this chapter, the authors look at how the internet of things (IoT) is changing healthcare by focusing on two key areas: telemedicine and remote patient monitoring. Remote patient monitoring is enabled through internet of things (IoT) devices and wearables. These devices collect data on vital signs, activity levels, and other health metrics in order to remotely monitor patients and discover abnormalities or changes in health conditions. By facilitating remote medical consultations and virtual doctor-patient interactions, the internet of things also improves healthcare's accessibility and convenience.
