Building the Medical Metaverse Call for Papers from Blockchain in Healthcare Today OA Journal

As the demand for intelligent technology and practical applications increases, smart solutions for the workforce, home health, life expectancy and the general practice of medicine transform into virtual self-care, we realize that humanity is undergoing a transformative increase in consciousness, origin and applied intelligence. For this purpose, Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY) is developing a special collection for interdisciplinary researchers, business, and creators to demonstrate how the metaverse can improve healthcare operations, outcomes, user and workforce satisfaction, improve education, increase economic opportunity, and reveal new and projected economic implications for global healthcare citizens.

How can data monetization, value-based care, self-care, and technology co-exist to create a world economy that incentivizes positive health behaviors such as adherence to therapeutic regimens and healthy lifestyles? How will the industry transform, change size and tools, and what do legal, regulatory and economists predict? Finally, how will distributed ledger technology provide a secure interface between multiple layers that are ultimately used to create new revenue streams across global health systems, providers, patients and governing bodies? How can we reduce risk and address ethical concerns when using blockchain-based monetization models in healthcare?

Interdisciplinary experts are invited to contribute research and findings, including researchers, graduate students, postdocs, researchers, consultants, business, health systems, non-profit organizations, healthcare professionals, and startups, to develop and submit research.
