Abstract

Dr. Meta is a metaverse technology-based digital platform for cancer care developed to educate health professionals and provide good-quality healthcare services to patients more effectively by overcoming physical constraints and enhancing immersive experience. This multidomain metaverse cancer care digital platform consists of four sub-platforms: (1) Metaverse Multidisciplinary Conference,(2) Metaverse Educational Center, (3) Metaverse Camping, and (4) VRHealing Theater. This chapter presents usability tests of each sub-platform conducted at the National Cancer Center Korea and 12 regional cancer centers from July to December 2022. More than half of the participants responded that using each sub-platform was satisfying and wanted to keep using our sub-platform in the future. Furthermore, the potential of Dr. Meta for successful cancer care, improvements in this platform, and future developments are discussed.
