- This cryptocurrency will be the official form of payment within the virtual hospital complex Aimedis Health City.
- The space will have various health institutions such as hospitals, private clinics, pharmacies, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies and any company related to health.
- Its launch is scheduled to be before the end of 2022.
We live in times of transformation in all areas and technology is responsible. From the way of staying informed of what is happening in the world to a medical appointment, they are now different. While in the future it is estimated that the changes will continue. The clearest example is the announcement of AIMX, which is about to become the first health cryptocurrency in the metaverse.
Medical care is no longer face-to-face
In the first instance, we must remember the increase experienced by the medical consultations over the internet During the last years. This modality emerged as an evolution of telemedicine but has seen a strong boom since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The fear of patients to go to hospitals prompted this format of care. The only thing that both parties require is to have a device with an internet connection and the service can be performed immediately. The rest of the attention is exactly a face-to-face consultation, although with the difference that there is no risk of contagion because the two parties are never in the same space.
metaverse and health
But now a step forward has been taken with the arrival of the metaverse. These are environments where humans interact socially and economically as avatars. They do it through software in cyberspace, which acts as a metaphor for the real world but without its limitations.
The metaverse is generally composed of multiple shared and persistent three-dimensional virtual spaces linked to a perceived virtual universe.
To put it another way, it is a virtual space where several people can meet without the need for physical contact. Everything is carried out digitally and the objective is to carry out the same activities that are in everyday life.
The first steps of this relationship have already been taken. In the case of our country, just a few days ago we informed you of the first virtual school for the training of doctors. This is the Johnson & Johnson Innovation Room and its operation is as simple as it is innovative.
It is designed for medical students and all they need are glasses and a Virtual Reality simulator. In this way they are immediately transferred to an operating room to begin their preparation. It is also similar to a video game because you can choose the difficulty and the procedure you want to perfect.
A new form of payment
While worldwide the most ambitious project is Aimedis Health City. It will not only be a hospital but an entire hospital complex within the metaverse. His idea is to create a virtual city in which various health institutions can rent spaces to settle. It is designed for hospitals, private clinics, pharmacies, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies and any company related to health.
But just like any other space, you need a way to make payments and transactions. This is where AIMX makes its appearance, which will be the cryptocurrency official of this metaverse.
With the above in mind, it will be the official means with which any service purchased within this virtual city of health can be paid. Although it will not be the only one because it is also planned to accept cash through card transactions and payments.
And although it sounds like a futuristic idea, it is actually closer to the present. It is expected that this virtual hospital complex will be inaugurated before the end of 2022.
