Spatial Data Governance for Healthcare Metaverse

The healthcare metaverse, leveraging VR and AR, revolutionizes medical services, education, and research by creating immersive, interactive environments. However, integrating spatial health data poses challenges in data accuracy, security, privacy, and ethical considerations, necessitating frameworks. The chapter proposes a framework for spatial data governance in the healthcare metaverse, focusing on patient control over health information. It includes rigorous data security and privacy protocols, ensures transparency and accountability, addresses ethical concerns, and encourages collaboration among stakeholders. This framework aims to uphold responsible data practices, protect patient privacy, and improve the effectiveness of healthcare services within the metaverse.
