El metaverso es un espacio virtual que utiliza la Realidad Virtual (RV), la Realidad Aumentada (RA) y la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) capaz de recrear un mundo paralelo a la realidad, en las ciencias de la salud el uso de las tecnologías durante la última década ha aumentado vertiginosamente y los beneficios tanto para los pacientes como para los profesionales son incontables. Tras la implementación de la cuarentena por la COVID-19 el aislamiento social llevo al surgimiento de nuevas herramientas que hicieron que las ciencias de la salud se inmiscuyeran aún más en este mundo digital. Las aplicaciones del metaverso en la medicina van desde el procesamiento de datos, la simulación de ambientes para el intercambio entre grupos de pacientes, hasta la simulación de medios quirúrgicos, procesos diagnósticos, experimentales y la simulación de avatares de médicos o enfermeras capaces de aconsejar a los pacientes según sus condiciones clínicas.
Telemedicine has experienced a great expansion in recent years, with the inclusion of technological advances achieved on the network communications, artificial intelligence, wireless sensors networks, Internet of things, microprocessors, smartphones, cloud computing, among others novel technological solutions. The deployment of this technological advances converges on dissimilar healthcare telematics services systems, more complex by day, like telemonitoring, metaverse, telesurgery, telestroke, among others that provide more efficient and more close to human interaction solutions. The results of its application in different medical specialties have been excellent, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are open paths to research in order to solve the challenges that telemedicine faces in the actual context, to improve the implied technologies, and to continue to penetrate medical services. The exploitation of the advantages that telemedicine offers in the future must consider the correct use of technologies, information secure and reliable management, emerging technologies inclusion, and the development of solutions in the context of each country. This work accosts a bibliographical review regarding telematic services and the different technologies supporting telemedicine in the world in last years, pointing out its strengths, more recent trends and projections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
