The rapid evolution of telemedicine has enhanced healthcare accessibility, yet significant challenges persist, particularly in data security, patient engagement, latency, and scalability. Existing telemedicine solutions rely on centralized architectures, making Electronic Health Records (EHRs) susceptible to data breaches and unauthorized access. This research proposes a novel system which integrates the metaverse and blockchain into telemedicine which can be a transformative approach to solve problems in remote healthcare. By combining immersive virtual environments with decentralized data management, the proposed solution described in this paper aims to give users more ways to interact with each other, enhanced data security, increased efficiency, and higher scalability. The Metaverse serves as the foundation for the implementation of 3D consultation rooms, virtual training spaces, and individual care. Blockchain offers safe, transparent, and immutable data exchange that will create patient-empowered medical records for them. Real-time devices and analysis of real-time physiological data from wearables, sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics complete the system. The proposed solution extensively uses Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR) devices, IoT sensors, Ethereum, and the Unity 3D platform, among others. Assessments indicate that system receives a significantly high level of satisfaction from its users, better secured data, increased automation of processes, and compliance with global standards such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Compliance with such global standards is achieved through smart contract-based access management, smart contract-based consent management, and immutable audit trails in the blockchain. Moreover, this research demonstrates that incorporating high-tech tools like AI and VR into telemedicine is currently feasible. This paves the way for the creation of even more secure and user-friendly telemedicine platforms that employ neural networks. This research sets a foundation for next-generation telemedicine ecosystems.
远程医疗的迅速发展提高了医疗服务的可及性,但重大挑战依然存在,尤其是在数据安全、患者参与度、延迟和可扩展性方面。现有的远程医疗解决方案依赖于集中式架构,这使得电子健康记录(EHRs)容易受到数据泄露和未经授权访问的影响。本研究提出了一种新颖的系统,该系统将元宇宙和区块链集成到远程医疗中,这可能是解决远程医疗问题的一种变革性方法。通过将沉浸式虚拟环境与去中心化数据管理相结合,本文所述的拟议解决方案旨在为用户提供更多的互动方式、增强数据安全性、提高效率和更高的可扩展性。元宇宙是实施3D诊疗室、虚拟培训空间和个性化护理的基础。区块链提供安全、透明且不可变的数据交换,将为患者创建赋权的医疗记录。实时设备以及对来自可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网(IoT)设备的实时生理数据的分析和人工智能(AI)分析完善了该系统。拟议的解决方案广泛使用虚拟现实(VR)/增强现实(AR)设备、物联网传感器、以太坊和Unity 3D平台等。评估表明,该系统获得了用户的高度满意度,数据安全性更高,流程自动化程度提高,并符合诸如通用数据保护条例(GDPR)等全球标准。通过基于智能合约的访问管理、基于智能合约的同意管理以及区块链中不可变的审计跟踪来实现对这些全球标准的遵守。此外,本研究表明,将人工智能和虚拟现实等高科技工具纳入远程医疗目前是可行的。这为创建使用神经网络的更安全、用户更友好的远程医疗平台铺平了道路。本研究为下一代远程医疗生态系统奠定了基础。
