Abstract

Metaverse, through virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchain, and other technologies, offers immersive experiences in a virtual world. In the field of mental health care, metaverse technology enhances patients' cognitive functions and social capabilities, thereby facilitating early diagnosis and assessment of diseases. This paper provides an overview of the concept and steps involved in the application of metaverse medicine, as well as an analysis of the efficacy of metaverse technology in treating mental health disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and anxiety.
