Divya Jacob, Yan Bai, Juan Li

Abstract: Metaverse is an emerging technology which uses virtual reality, augmented reality, and other technologies to allow people to interact with each other as well as do business and engage in leisure activities. People can connect with one another and with digital content in real time in a world without physical borders. Before widespread adoption can occur, it is important to thoroughly assess the security and privacy threats connected to the underlying technology as well as the new digital environment. The security of healthcare records is a major concern in the metaverse. In order to ensure the safety of patient records, blockchain technology is being used to protect user data against malicious activities and other types of attacks. The objective is to strengthen security in the Metaverse and foster trust in the platforms and apps that make up this new digital environment.
