Abstract：
The recent exponential growth of metaverse technology has been instrumental in reshaping a myriad of sectors, not least digital healthcare. This comprehensive review critically examines the landscape and future applications of metaverse wearables toward immersive digital healthcare. The key technologies and advancements that have spearheaded the metamorphosis of metaverse wearables are categorized, encapsulating all-encompassed extended reality, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and other haptic feedback systems. Moreover, the fundamentals of their deployment in assistive healthcare (especially for rehabilitation), medical and nursing education, and remote patient management and treatment are investigated. The potential benefits of integrating metaverse wearables into healthcare paradigms are multifold, encompassing improved patient prognosis, enhanced accessibility to high-quality care, and high standards of practitioner instruction. Nevertheless, these technologies are not without their inherent challenges and untapped opportunities, which span privacy protection, data safeguarding, and innovation in artificial intelligence. In summary, future research trajectories and potential advancements to circumvent these hurdles are also discussed, further augmenting the incorporation of metaverse wearables within healthcare infrastructures in the post-pandemic era.
摘要：
最近隐喻技术的指数增长有助于重塑无数行业，尤其是数字医疗。这篇全面的综述批判性地研究了元可穿戴设备在沉浸式数字医疗保健方面的前景和未来应用。对引领可穿戴设备变态的关键技术和进步进行了分类，封装所有包含的扩展现实，比如虚拟现实，增强现实,混合现实，和其他触觉反馈系统。此外，他们在辅助保健(特别是康复)中部署的基础，医学和护理教育，和远程患者管理和治疗进行调查。将元可穿戴设备集成到医疗保健范式中的潜在好处是多方面的，包括改善患者预后，提高获得高质量护理的机会，和高标准的从业者指导。然而，这些技术并非没有其固有的挑战和未开发的机会，涵盖隐私保护，数据保护,和人工智能的创新。总之,还讨论了未来的研究轨迹和规避这些障碍的潜在进展，在大流行后时代，进一步加强了可穿戴设备在医疗基础设施中的整合。
