DriCloud is working on developing a virtual environment for medical consultations.
Telemedicine has advanced over the last two years in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, ensuring communication between doctors and patients. The next step will be to take consultations to the metaverse . This is the project that the cloud-based medical software firm DriCloud is working on , which does not want remote medical care to be limited to the health crisis.
In fact, this type of care “has been practiced since new technologies have allowed it and will become more and more common,” says Enrique Galindo Martens, medical director of DriCloud, who wants professionals and patients to meet in Meta to give and receive assistance when there is no strict need for in-person assistance .
That is, it will open a virtual environment for medical consultations. This “will speed up and alleviate waiting lists and make the procedures that must be carried out during consultations simpler for both the professional and the patient,” says Galindo.
“And, in addition, in situations of confinement or home isolation, it will improve the quality of communication between the two,” he adds.
Virtual consultations are a natural evolution for DriCloud’s 100% cloud-based initiative, which is testing virtual consultations using 3D glasses .
The idea is to link medical consultations to the metaverse, as a space that will allow telemedicine to be universalized.
