Abstract
This chapter discusses how AI can potentially improve augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Currently, healthcare applications in AR and VR have been increasing rapidly. mHealth applications with AR have shown potential for pill reminders. VR applications using computer and telehealth has been used to talk with clinicians from patient homes. More importantly, mental health counseling has increased by utilizing AR and VR applications in the metaverse. Using AI to channel healthcare needs can reduce healthcare waste and improve efficiency. In this chapter, readers will learn about opportunities for integrating AI with mixed reality to effectively deliver health care in the metaverse. The readers will learn how to utilize technology to create future opportunities to provide care.
