In Episode 113 of My Metaverse Minute, Kieron examines Thumbay Group’s use of Metaverse technology to treat long-term patients. The launch of a full-scale Metaverse replica of a real hospital in the UAE could help normalize the practice of exploring real-world places within the Metaverse.
Highlights
00:08 — The first Metaverse hospital is scheduled to go live in October. Based in the UAE, the hospital has been developed by the Thumbay Group, a group focused on long-term patient care.
00:56 — Thumbay Group currently utilizes augmented reality and virtual reality to provide therapy and a form of escapism for existing patients suffering disabilities, paralysis, or extended periods in the hospital. The dedicated Metaverse hospital will allow patients to see doctors as a 3D avatar and encourage users from around the world to visit a replica of the real-world UAE hospital.
01:56 — Beyond the healthcare industry, this use of the Metaverse is an intriguing possibility for cities and regions to offer tourism experiences to entirely new demographics. Advertising real-world spaces with virtual walkthroughs could be done through Metaverse travel agencies.
02:43 — Hyper-personalization within the Metaverse also means tourism experiences, like exotic cuisine, climates, or wildlife, can be advertised and experienced first in the Metaverse.
