“…A blockchain is an emerging and dynamic collection of records, referred to as blocks, that are interconnected through the use of cryptographic techniques [1]. Every block within the system comprises a cryptographic hash that represents the previous block, along with a timestamp and exchange-related data [5]. The blockchain is a highly intelligent innovation, credited to the intellectual prowess of an individual or collective entity operating under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.…”

“…Blockchain technology was suggested as part of a plan for national-level selection by [15]. Recently, the blockchain-based electronic voting system has grown in importance as a solution to some issues that might be related to e-voting [5]. Due to the immutable property of the blockchain, which has made it a decentralized distributed ballot box, blockchain-enabled voting systems have been proposed as the next generation of contemporary electronic voting systems [16].…”

“…Within this theoretical framework, it is postulated that all assets possess the potential to be transformed into intellectual property. This concept revolves around the notion of assigning a distinct identifier to each asset within the blockchain, thereby enabling the tracking, manipulation, and transaction (i.e., purchase or sale) of said asset on the blockchain [5]. This suggests that both physical resources (such as houses, cars, and vehicles) and digital resources can be registered and processed using blockchain technology [6].…”

In recent years, both researchers and internet users have been attracted to the concept of blockchain technology for transforming smart Bangladesh. This study focuses on the possibilities of blockchain technology leading to the transformation of Bangladesh into a smart nation. This article also explains the working procedure and potential usage of the blockchain concept in Bangladesh. The study is mainly focused on qualitative approaches. The researcher used the PRISMA 2020 platform to identify and choose relevant studies and reports from indexed publications. As the idea of block chain technology is very new and not being adopted by all the sectors of Bangladesh's economy, that’s why only secondary data were used to conduct the study. The researcher has tried to find the different potential areas of blockchain technology from such developing countries like Bangladesh. The potential areas, such as the supply chain management, voting system, and health care industry, where blockchain can be implemented by introducing different polices and regulations. From the implication point of view, blockchain technology might be implemented to transform smart Bangladesh within 2041 if adequate regulations can be undertaken by concerned authority. This revolutionary technology has great potential and has recently caused upheaval. Based on the descriptive study, some of the relevant recommendations including suggestions for reducing challenges of using blockchain are discussed and future research works can be continued in both academic and business sectors in Bangladesh based on this finding.

“…When encountering difficult and miscellaneous diseases, doctors in different regions can use the remote Internet communication platform to form a virtual multi-party consultation space [38] . Through screen sharing and realtime audio and video, doctors can analyze and discuss the results of virtual surgery, select the best treatment plan, and provide technical support for the operation, which can realize remote consultation [39] . With the help of metaverse technology, the doctor adopts the best plan to perform the operation promptly and efficiently for Mr. Yang.…”

The continuous enhancement of living conditions imposes higher requirements for medical and healthcare services. Although improved to a certain extent, there still exist critical challenges in current medical pattern, such as the shortage of medical resources, inefficient medical treatment, and limited medical technology level. The metaverse can offer a novel mechanism to address these problems in traditional healthcare domain, and thus, to enhance the quality of medical services. Generally, the metaverse is a dynamic feedback system that facilitates the collaboration and coexistence between the virtual and physical worlds. By fostering collaboration and evolution between intelligent agents in the virtual world, knowledge of this interdependence can be reconstructed in the digital realm. This allows problems existed in the real world to be abstracted and represented in the digital space, where models can be established and computational experiments can be conducted. The outcomes obtained can dynamically guide or control the execution of strategies in the real world, with real-world execution results serving as dynamic data inputs to continually update the virtual world's model. In addition, this paper summarizes the current research status of different healthcare application scenarios for metaverse, highlights the challenges and vision, and aims to inspire further research in this field. KEYWORDSmetaverse; healthcare; application scenario; key technologies; challenges; vision T he continuous enhancement of living conditions has expedited novel and urgent requirements for medical and healthcare service industry. The realistic demands for the healthcare service industry have become higher and more diverse [1] . Although improved to a certain extent, there still exist critical challenges in current medical patterns. From a social perspective, firstly, there is a shortage of medical resources. In fact, overall medical resources are in short supply. For instance, the medical treatment is inefficient, and thus, the coverage of chronic disease diagnosis and treatment management is relatively low at this stage [2] . Secondly, the level of medical technology is limited. Specifically, the distribution of medical resources is uneven in different regions, and there are variations in medical technology and capabilities, which needs more perfect technology platforms and patterns to enhance the overall level [3] . Thirdly, the pressure on cost control is huge, especially the cost control of medical insurance funds is hard, which requires technical means to improve medical efficiency and reduce the waste of medical resources [4] . From an individual perspective, firstly, the communication between doctors and patients is relatively inefficient. In fact, it is not easy and straightforward for patients and their family members to understand the principles of the disease and the surgical process, which makes them fear the operation and have low compliance with the treatment [5] . Secondly, the surgical accuracy and safety need to be...

“…One example could be data obtained through wearable devices (such as smart watch-derived data -SWDD). The use of blockchain technology can change the paradigm of data ownership in the case of a person producing SWDD; such data could then be shared with third parties such as scientists or pharmaceutical companies with consent [37]. It can also help with data management of patients.…”
