Towards immersive teleclinics in the Metaverse: the case of neuropsychological consultation

Abstract

International audienceThe Metaverse is often deemed very important for the future of medicine and healthcare, yet there exist very few real health applications making use of social VR, its core feature. Here we first present our vision of what could be a virtual clinic in the Metaverse that would allow patients and practitioners to meet in VR and carry out various activities. We then introduce Tecnis, our implementation of such a clinic for psychotherapeutic consultation and neuropsychological testing. Our system features several spaces such as a waiting room, a consultation room, and standalone activities, as well as data-based dashboads for clinicians to lead the sessions
