Sağlık Hizmetlerinde Dijital Teknolojiler: Metaverse

Özet

Dijitalleşen ve rekabet ortamının açıkça yaşandığı günümüz dünyasında, özellikle yaşanan Covid- 19 pandemisi sonrasında birçok alanda dijitalleşmenin hızlandığı ve sanal ortamların birçok alanda kullanımının artmaya başladığı bilinmektedir. Bu alanlardan biri de sağlık hizmetleri alanıdır. Dijital dönüşümün sağlık hizmetlerine etkileri, yapay zeka, dijital ikiz, telesağlık ve teletıp, e-sağlık ve elektronik sağlık uygulamaları, mobil sağlık ve mobil sağlık uygulamaları ve benzeri uygulamaların sağlık alanında sıklıkla kullanımıyla gözle görünür bir hale gelmiştir. Bu uygulamalardan biri de son yıllarda sağlık alanında da kullanılmaya başlayan ve kullanıcılarına gerçeğine benzeyen sanal bir deneyim yaşatan “metaverse” teknolojileridir. Bu kitap bölümünde sağlık hizmetlerinde metaverse konusuna ilişkin bilgiler verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, kitabın bu bölümünde sağlık hizmetlerinde metaverse teknolojilerine ilişkin örnek bir olaya yer verilmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak, bölüm sonunda konuya ilişkin olarak hazırlanmış sorular yer almaktadır. 2000’li yıllardan sonra popülerleşmeye başlayan ve nispeten yeni bir konu sayılabilecek olan “metaverse” konusunun sağlık hizmetleri kapsamında ele alındığı bu bölümün, sağlık hizmeti arz edenlere, akademisyenlere, konuyla ilgilenen bireylere kapsamlı ve sistematik bilgi sunumu sebebiyle katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
