Abstract

Created by digital technology,the Metaverse is a digital platform where the digital virtual world and the actual real world can coexist to some extent. Based on the integration of Metaverse and medical science,this article describes the great development of intelligent medicine in the fields of medical practice,medical education and medical research,especially in the field of surgery. First,the technical source of the Metaverse concept in the field of intelligent medicine can be traced back to technology to generate actual digital data sets from human anatomy. Second,the successful industrial practice of Metaverse in the field of intelligent medicine conforms to the authentic and credible fundamental purpose of "taking people as the first priority and serving people", that is, "virtual" must be based on "actual" for "actual".

元宇宙指数字化虚拟世界和现实世界能够在一定程度上共存共生的数字样态。数字样态与医学科学相嵌相融后形成的智慧医疗理念,在医学实践、医学教育、医学研究领域,特别是外科学领域有巨大发展。分析能促进这一发展的主要因素,其一,智慧医疗领域元宇宙理念的技术源头为实实在在的人体解剖数字化数据集的生成技术;其二,智慧医疗领域成功的元宇宙技术产业实践,符合真实可信的“以人为本,为人服务”的根本宗旨。.
