Should we add metaverse to the future medical lexicon ?

I's too early, nowadays, to assess the potential impact on healthcare of a nascent concept such as the metaverse. The technical tools necessary to construct it are readily available, and for some of them already independently used in selected domains of medical care, with success. The convergence of the construction stones will result in an extended reality. Multisensory feedback (inclusive haptic) will end up in a much more realistic and complex virtual immersion, paving the way to new socio-emotional experiences and new communication models, conducive to education, diagnosis and treatment, all of potential interest in heathcare.
