Added:
Are we leaving underserved communities and their health and digital equity behind again as we transition to a Web3 and Metaverse platform? Web3 and the Metaverse are emerging technologies that can potentially transform and disrupt the way healthcare is delivered to underserved communities. This transformation and disruption could have significant impact on the patient experience, health equity, and digital equity because of the barriers currently faced and will face in accessing healthcare services. Although the Metaverse and Web3 could enhance care delivery by leveraging cross-border virtual services, the barriers to SDoH still exist and may even be exacerbated. To close the digital gaps and address the SDoH barriers in a Web3 and Metaverse world, we must take a multi-faceted approach. As clinicians and providers of care and services, we play an important role in promoting digital health equity. Discover how you can help and how to take an active role in ensuring that underserved communities are not left behind in the Web3 and Metaverse digital terrain.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Describe Web3 and the Metaverse.
Demonstrate the barriers faced and the impact on underserved patients in a Web3 and Metaverse era.
Explain the clinician's role to promote health equity in a Web3 and Metaverse environment.
