Metaverse: A brave new world

How digital copies can revolutionize healthcare

Let’s go back to the beginnings of the internet: HTML, HTTP, and URL were the tools used to build a world besides our world – we actually created the metaverse back then already. The next wave of innovation brought us CSS, JavaScript, and HTML5 with the added functionality of now being able to contribute to the network instead of only consuming it. Big change!

Welcome to Web 3.0

Here we are, almost 20 years after the last big change: the web 3.0 enables a future where distributed users and machines are able to interact with data, value, and other counterparties via a substrate of peer-to-peer networks without the need for third parties.?The result: a composable human-centric & privacy-preserving computing fabric for the next wave of the web.?

Entering the metaverse

As mentioned above, the metaverse has been around for a long time. But today the idea gains a lot more traction due to several happenings:

• COVID has accelerated our transition into the digital world:?remote working, Christmas parties via video call, gaming worlds as an alternative to real-life gatherings
• Monetary policy, “free” money to citizens, and therefore high consumption led to rising inflation rates:?the acceptance for alternative assets and currencies in the crypto space rose dramatically between 2019 and 2022.
• Big corporates started their journey into the metaverse: the most prominent example being?the rebranding from Facebook into Meta?with a vision of creating “the next level of the internet”.

Things like this have led to a trend that arrived in every sector within a short time. Most interesting for us: digital health metaverse start-ups were born.
