Abstract
Metaverse is a digital reality that allows humans to interact with other people or digital characters, Metaverse technology. It has significant potential in medical sciences and pharmaceuticals. For many years, it has been providing medical services to patients such as patient diagnosis, medicine or surgery through direct communication between the doctor and the patient. Medical training can normally be better aided by the use of surgical equipment in areas that require advanced manual skills. Using Metaverse in surgical training allows the trainee to perform procedures on an authorized patient or match patient information to reality. The discovery of the Internet and the digital space made it possible to provide medical services and connect the patient with the doctor through electronic devices. It has made it easier to navigate through these services. Performing surgery with the help of robots has a high potential to move towards permitted realities. One of the best ideas to benefit from Metaverse is digital therapy. If the metaverse technology is accompanied by real innovation to evaluate people's perceptions and expectations, it will revolutionize health care in the near future. Using its innovative and licensed exclusives, Metaverse offers previously unimaginable facilities and services in the field of digital health, Metaverse can be a simulator where surgeons are one in the same as they are performing surgery, Meet the other. Undoubtedly, medical progress in the future and the existence of metaverse technology will be followed by significant changes.
