“…Follow-up in a virtual environment where patient and doctor are represented by avatars is reported to be feasible. 15 Avatar-based patient education technology demonstrated improvements in disease knowledge, selfcare behaviours and self-efficacy but not in medication adherence in a systematic review in other chronic diseases. 16 In people with ACS, an avatar-based education app focused on how to respond to heart attack symptoms objectively improved knowledge at 1-month and 6-month follow-up.…”

IntroductionMany hospital presentations for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) occur in people previously hospitalised with coronary heart disease (CHD), leading to increased costs and health burden. Secondary prevention education including a prehospital discharge plan is recommended for all individuals to reduce the risk of recurrence. However, many clinicians lack the time or support to provide education, and patients’ uptake of secondary prevention programmes is limited. An avatar-based education app is a novel and engaging way to provide self-delivered, evidence-based secondary prevention information during the hospital admission and remains accessible after discharge. This protocol aims to evaluate the effect of an avatar-based education app on individuals with ACS.Methods and analysisThis protocol describes a prospective, randomised controlled trial with 3-month follow-up and blinded assessment of 72 participants. Intervention group participants will download the app onto their own device during the hospital admission and independently complete six interactive education modules based on the National Heart Foundation’s six steps to cardiac recovery. All participants will receive a text message reminder of the study after 3 weeks. Both groups will receive usual care consisting of bedside education and a pamphlet about cardiac rehabilitation. The primary outcome is knowledge of CHD, assessed using the Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire II. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, response to heart attack symptoms, cardiac-related readmissions and mortality and modifiable cardiac risk factors. Engagement with the app will be evaluated objectively. Intention-to-treat analysis will be conducted, with between-group comparisons and 95% CIs of the primary outcome analysed using analysis of covariance, adjusting for baseline values.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol has been approved by the Western Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee. The results of this study will be disseminated via a peer-reviewed journal and research thesis.Trial registration numberAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12622001436763).

“…It is critical to apprehend and deal with the ability ethically demanding situations and implications of AI within the Metaverse, such as issues of facts privacy, safety, fairness, and duty. (Skalidis, 2022)The improvement of AI within the Metaverse should be guided with the aid of standards of transparency, explainability, and responsibility to make sure that it serves the first-rate pastimes of all users. In the context of human-pc interplay within the Metaverse, synthetic intelligence has to be implemented and controlled in a way that upholds moral standards.…”

This paper explores the intersection of synthetic intelligence and human-computer interplay within the context of the metaverse. The metaverse, a digital international in which customers can interact with each other and with PC-generated environments, gives precise opportunities for the combination of AI technology to decorate personal studies and allow new types of collaboration. Use the following assets if suitable. Avoid plagiarizing the source without delay. For example, artificial intelligence can push the human barriers of a layout team to consist of human-pc co-creativity. In the metaverse, AI can play a transformative function in facilitating humancomputer co-creativity within layout groups, expanding the boundaries of what's feasible in phrases of collaborative design methods. AI can empower layout groups inside the metaverse to enhance creativity and innovation via automated duties, new layout generation, and real-time user comments analysis. AI-powered algorithms can analyze user conduct and preferences, imparting precious insights for growing customized and immersive experiences in the metaverse.

“…The existing infrastructure can potentially bring new dimensions to the way medical care is delivered. However, various technological requirements as well as more extensive validation studies need to be addressed to determine its cost-effectiveness and diagnostic efficiency [50]. Ethical questions and implications need to continue to be explored and new ways of automating ethics within technology need to be sought [51].…”

Rising healthcare costs, an aging population and a shortage of healthcare personnel were putting health systems under strain. In addition to all these problems, the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in the world. With the pandemic, patients' access to existing healthcare systems was restricted due to health policies or lack of healthcare services. It has driven health professionals and technology developers to search. There has been an increase in computer-mediated virtual environments in alternative healthcare systems to provide rehabilitation for patients before they arrive at the hospital and education for medical students before they arrive in the classroom. Metaverse technology is promising to fill this gap in healthcare. The aim of this article is to categorize and present the metaverse developments in healthcare, covering treatment, imaging and evaluation, medical education, preventive health and health ethics issues. The study is presented as a review of studies using metaverse by reviewing the literature. As a result, metaverse applications of our future may increase access to health and reduce health costs. The use of metaverse technology with wearable technology can make access and control of people's health data continuous. In addition to these gains, there should be more focus on ethical violations that may occur in the field of health.
