We are living in a digital age, and the Pandemic has accelerated innovation in health care and has surfaced new business models and opportunities for health. Beyond the applications in telehealth, supply chain, payments, secure data sharing, and remote monitoring are also essential innovations in Blockchain and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) that allow people to exchange value on a decentralized network. Futurists and technologists are also exploring how the Metaverse can play a role in different sectors. This Commentary aims to explore how the Metaverse may be used in the future to change, enhance, and possibly transform health care. The five covered areas are collaborative working, education; clinical care, wellness, and monetization.
