Abstract

We explore the transformative synergy between wearable haptic technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of healthcare within the emerging Health Metaverse. As advancements in AI continue to revolutionize healthcare, integrating wearable haptic devices into this this application holds immense potential to enhance patient experiences, diagnostics, and treatment modalities. We will delve into the innovative applications of our unique and patent pending wearable haptics, ranging from real-time monitoring of patients undergoing rehabilitation to interactive simulations for medical training. Additionally, the Health Metaverse concept is introduced, highlighting the integration of AI-driven virtual environments into healthcare practices. With such demonstrations, we hope to gain insights into the promising intersection of wearable haptics and AI, paving the way for more personalized, immersive, effective and accessible healthcare solutions.
