A teleclinic for Neuro-Psychological Assessment in the Metaverse
Metaverse technologies allow new tele-medicine services and applications. Our interdisciplinary team conducted a user-centered design process, and implemented an immersive teleclinic for clinicians to carry out neuro-psychological testing sessions with distant patients. A session is a mix of discussions and desk-based or independent test activities, accompanied and monitored by the clinician with various dashboards. We carried out a preliminary evaluation focusing on usability, presence and acceptability for healthy participants playing the role of patients and practitioners. Results shows all the participants could project into using the system, but practitioners were more reluctant, due so some usability issues, and insufficient quality of current technology to observe patients.
