Description

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT This research was supported by a grant of the Korea Health Technology R&D Project through the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI), funded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (grant number: RS-2024-00440088). TECHNICAL FIELD The following embodiments relate to a technology for providing a metaverse healthcare platform service for non-face-to-face diagnosis and self-management. BACKGROUND ART Recently, as the trend of medical services changes from face-to-face medical care to non-face-to-face medical care, the market for non-face-to-face medical services is expanding, and the need for personal self-diagnosis and emergency treatment is increasing with the increase in blind spots in medical care. In addition, due to the expansion of the healthcare market, the global digital healthcare market is growing at an annual average of 30%. Accordingly, a demand for overcoming an infection environment and creating a non-face-to-face medical environment is increasing, there is a demand for the realization of non-face-to-face or minimal face-to-face remote medical services is required, and there is a demand for research on technologies that can create a work and healthcare environment that can minimize the spread of infection. In addition, a demand for complementing blind spots in healthcare and improving accessibility through self-diagnosis services is increasing, and as learning and experience become widespread due to COVID-19, there is a need to have the ability to respond medically to emergency situations through self-diagnosis and easy management, and there is a demand for research on technologies that can contribute to improving healthcare access for those in self-quarantine, office workers, housewives, and residents of medically vulnerable areas. In addition, a demand for resolving regional healthcare imbalances and overcoming healthcare inequality, and providing healthcare services that transcend time and space is increasing, and there is a demand for research on technologies that can provide medical infrastructure in environments where medical support is urgent, overcoming the acceleration of the concentration of health care workers in large cities, and creating a service environment accessible to the disabled and elderly with limited mobility. Meanwhile, a metaverse has recently been spotlighted as a representative service for providing a virtual world to a user. Metaverse is a complex word of meta, which refers to fiction and abstraction, and universe, which refers to the real world, and refers to a three-dimensional virtual world. The core technology of this metaverse is an extended reality (XR) technology, which encompasses a virtual reality (VR), an augmented reality (AR), and a mixed reality (MR). Therefore, as the demand for non-face-to-face medical services that allow people to feel the same experience as visiting a hospital in a metaverse environment without directly visiting the hospital is increasing, research on a technology related thereto is required.
