M- VMT-PC: Metaverse-Enabled Virtual Medical Training and Patient Care Framework Underlying 5G

As technology advances, merging virtual environments, blockchain, and 5G networks opens new possibilities, especially in medical training. This paper introduces a framework that combines these technologies to create an innovative medical training system. In this paper, we proposes Metaverse-enabled Virtual Medical Training and Patient Care framework, i.e., M- VMT-PC. In the proposed framework, metaverse comprises a dig-ital space where users can interact in 3D, offers exciting opportunities for medical training. It allows for realistic and interactive simulations, where trainees can practice medical scenarios and procedures in a virtual setting. More, the M- VMT-PC uses blockchain technology within this framework to ensure that the data is securely stored, enhancing its reliability. Next, 5G technology is used to make this framework effective. With ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (uRLLC) and high-speed data transfer (eMBB), 5G supports real-time interactions and smoothly handles large volumes of data. This technology ensures the training environment is responsive and can handle extensive data needs, essential for ongoing updates and improvements. Our proposed framework M- VMT-PC addresses the current challenges in medical training by providing a scalable, secure, and engaging learning environment. It improves the medical professionals training and sets the stage for future advancements in medical education and patient care.
