What is UAE\u2019s metaverse hospital?<\/b><\/h2>\n
UAE has scripted history by launching the world\u2019s first-ever metaverse hospital. Essentially, patients will be able to visit the virtual hospital as avatars. What\u2019s more, they can also interact with the doctors using their avatars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe are already working on it and expect it to launch before October this year,\u201d <\/span>said<\/span> Dr Thumbay Moideen, the founder and president of Thumbay Group. \u201cThis will be a complete virtual hospital where people will come with an avatar and consult with the doctor.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cTo cater to medical tourism, we will allow patients to see what the hospital looks like in the metaverse if they travel and come to Thumbay healthcare facility,\u201d the doctor added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Facilities of the<\/b> virtual hospital<\/b><\/h2>\n
Firstly, the Thumbay Group offers a host of augmented reality and virtual reality metaverse technologies. These are available to long-term care patients who have been bedridden for a minimum of six months or are paralysed. The technologies would help the patients access their homes virtually.<\/span><\/p>\n
Additionally, the hospital is also giving the patients AR and VR headsets to see their homes. Going forward, the UEA metaverse hospital will also integrate artificial intelligence. It will also add a new feature to recognise each patient\u2019s face and detect their car number plate as they enter the hospital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
