Abstract

The convergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and metaverse technologies is revolutionizing healthcare. This study introduces a pioneering framework tailored for health monitoring within the metaverse. By reshaping remote patient monitoring and virtual consultations, the framework utilizes vital parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. It integrates IoT sensors, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), establishing a cohesive metaverse environment for healthcare interactions. Notably, robust 256-bit AES encryption ensures data privacy and security. Our analysis highlights the pivotal role of metaverse architecture in healthcare, emphasizing the efficacy of AES-256 encryption in preserving patient confidentiality. Findings underscore the framework's potential to enhance remote patient care while upholding stringent data privacy standards. Moreover, it fosters trust among patients, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies. In summary, this comprehensive framework marks a significant advancement in remote patient care, promising improved health outcomes and a secure foundation for healthcare in the metaverse.

Highlights

•

Comprehensive design and development of the MedIoTverse medical framework.

•

Develop a sophisticated IoT-powered patient monitoring system within MedIoTverse.

•

Virtual consultation environment where healthcare professionals can interact with virtual patients.

•

AES-256 encryption ensures the privacy and security of patient data during transmission.
