Digitization and automation have always had an immense impact on healthcare. It embraces every new and advanced technology. Recently the world has witnessed the prominence of the metaverse which is an emerging technology in digital space. The metaverse has huge potential to provide a plethora of health services seamlessly to patients and medical professionals with an immersive experience. This paper proposes the amalgamation of artificial intelligence and blockchain in the metaverse to provide better, faster, and more secure healthcare facilities in digital space with a realistic experience. Our proposed architecture can be summarized as follows. It consists of three environments, namely the doctor’s environment, the patient’s environment, and the metaverse environment. The doctors and patients interact in a metaverse environment assisted by blockchain technology which ensures the safety, security, and privacy of data. The metaverse environment is the main part of our proposed architecture. The doctors, patients, and nurses enter this environment by registering on the blockchain and they are represented by avatars in the metaverse environment. All the consultation activities between the doctor and the patient will be recorded and the data, i.e., images, speech, text, videos, clinical data, etc., will be gathered, transferred, and stored on the blockchain. These data are used for disease prediction and diagnosis by explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) models. The GradCAM and LIME approaches of XAI provide logical reasoning for the prediction of diseases and ensure trust, explainability, interpretability, and transparency regarding the diagnosis and prediction of diseases. Blockchain technology provides data security for patients while enabling transparency, traceability, and immutability regarding their data. These features of blockchain ensure trust among the patients regarding their data. Consequently, this proposed architecture ensures transparency and trust regarding both the diagnosis of diseases and the data security of the patient. We also explored the building block technologies of the metaverse. Furthermore, we also investigated the advantages and challenges of a metaverse in healthcare.

Envisioned to be the next-generation Internet, the metaverse has been attracting enormous attention from both the academia and industry. The metaverse can be viewed as a 3D immersive virtual world, where people use Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices to access and interact with others through digital avatars. While early versions of the metaverse exist in several Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, the full-flesh metaverse is expected to be more complex and enabled by various advanced technologies. Blockchain is one of the crucial technologies that could revolutionize the metaverse to become a decentralized and democratic virtual society with its own economic and governance system. Realizing the importance of blockchain for the metaverse, our goal in this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey that clarifies the role of blockchain in the metaverse including in-depth analysis of digital asset management. To this end, we discuss how blockchain can enable the metaverse from different perspectives, ranging from user applications to virtual services and the blockchain-enabled economic system. Furthermore, we describe how blockchain can shape the metaverse from the system perspective, including various solutions for the decentralized governance system and data management. The potential of blockchain for security and privacy aspects of the metaverse infrastructure is also figured out, while a full flow of blockchain-based digital asset management for the metaverse is investigated. Finally, we discuss a wide range of open challenges of the blockchain-empowered metaverse.

“…The related technologies include metaverse operating system technology, metaverse trusted collaboration network technology, and human-computer interaction technology. Cappannari and Vitillo [47] mentioned that metaverse, as a new paradigm, will demand a whole new set of software platforms, which include enabling platforms (i.e., operating systems, digital stores, realtime engines and frameworks, world tracking and mapping, and cloud rendering), content platforms, human-centered platforms, utility platforms, and application platforms. This paper also emphasizes possible future development of each category [47] .…”

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...
