Hi, what are you looking for?
Dubai, United Arab Emirates–(Newsfile Corp. – September 15, 2022) – The world’s first medical examination inside the Aimedis Avalon Metaverse was carried out by the Cardiology Department of Heraklion University Hospital in Greece, in collaboration with the Cardiology team of the University Hospital of Lausanne in Switzerland. This milestone gives doctors the opportunity to increase the availability to patients around the clock. A clinical field study will bring more clarity which patients will benefit the most from consultations in the Metaverse and how examinations can be made even more comfortable.

Dr. Ioannis Skalidis, cardiologist and designer of the project, explains: “The patient was a 30-year-old male who came in with severe chest pain, but with no clear definitive diagnosis. He was released with access data to a private exam room in the Metaverse as well as a portable digital ECG device, in case the symptoms recurred.”
The hospital is an hour away, while the Metaverse is just a few clicks away. Dr. Skalidis explains: “When the patient suffered from chest pain again, he was able to speak to a doctor within a very short time while performing at home an ECG with a D-Heart digital device. In case of cardiac chest pain, the ECG can tell us exactly if things are wrong.” The ECG and vital signs were normal so the cardiologist was able to reassure the patient.
Dr. Niccolo Maurizi, co-designer of the project and cardiologist with experience in digital health, adds: “All the patient needed was a computer and an integrated portable m-health device such as D-Heart, which the hospital had made available to him.”
The Aimedis CEO, founder and medical doctor Michael J. Kaldasch explains: “With Aimedis Avalon we offer the healthcare industry a digital and secure platform in the metaverse and combine the real world with the advantages of the digital world. Extensive medical knowledge, reliable information and now the ability to conduct safe consultations are becoming more readily available.”
In addition, in a near future, students, doctors and hospital staff will be able to use remote technology for consultation, diagnosis and therapy as well as for training and further education – with this development the healthcare industry will reach a completely new level. Dr. Skalidis adds: “Better medical training leads to more precise diagnoses and thus to better treatments in the future.” Kaldasch elaborates: “Digitization can no longer be stopped. We offer reliable state-of-the-art technology so that in the future the healthcare industry can use additional digital solutions such as Aimedis Avalon to advise and treat customers and patients in a timely and reliable manner.”
Dr. Skalidis concludes: “The Metaverse in healthcare can be a game changer: Our studies are designed to identify whether the use of Metaverse as the largest and most democratic telemedicine platform in the world can deliver high-tech and low-cost diagnostic care accessible to more and more people worldwide.”
