Chapter 1. EVOLUTION.
Evolution and Man. Why does man create technologies and new worlds? Why does a person need incredible impressions so much and what makes everyone’s life longer and full of active events. Evolutionarily, humanity creates new tools for its rehabilitation, finding in the world more and more new lines that will allow repairing or rehabilitating a person.
Rehabilitation can be grouped into:
- Physical therapy;
- Speech therapy;
- Occupational therapy.
Rehabilitation (rehab) is a term you may have heard a couple of times in your day to day endeavours. People attend rehab sessions for different reasons. It could be attending rehab after being in an accident, or maybe someone trying to recover from a period of substance abuse, or alcohol addiction.
But what is rehabilitation really? Rehabilitation, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), refers to a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment.
The entire process of rehabilitation can be done in-patient; admitted in the hospital or clinic premises, or outpatient that doesn’t require admission.
Physical therapy involves interventions for people having difficulty or pain in movements or day to day activities. Commonly used in the recovery period after surgery, injury, or conditions like stroke.
Speech therapy involves interventions aimed at people with difficulties in communication, language, voice, swallowing and fluency. It can be used in conditions such as dysphagia, aphasia and dyslexia.
Occupational therapy aims at restoring a person’s ability to resume daily activities that are required to sustain an independent lifestyle. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) also falls in this category.
Evolutionarily creates.
But it seems that we are creating something new for the first time in a different way.
And this is not even a revolutionary disruption.
This is a gravitational transition.
Chapter 2. GRAVITATION.
Independent lifestyle & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
The creation of an immersive environment or METAVERSE life is presented to us as not just a disruptive method, useful, among other things, for the rehabilitation of a person.
This is truly a gravitational transition.
For the first time, a person or a patient will not just have to apply smart devices to his body or see tables with his results on the screen of a smartphone or computer, including data analysis with AI components. This is admirable.
But we are talking about METAVERSE, which means that for the first time a person has to take a step, physically take a step into ANYWHERE. Gravitational transition in METAVERSE Rehabilitation.
“This is quite feasible, although impossible.”
Alice Through the Looking Glass. Lewis Carroll.
Chapter 2. REHABILITATION. Metaverse line.
Digital therapy or digital twins for Metaverse Rehabilitation.
For example, implementing a digital twin for patients with diabetes:
- Analyze continuous blood glucose measurements and dietary habits to develop AI-assisted nutrition management solutions
The Digital META-Twin is a technology that predicts outcomes by simulating situations that might arise when creating identical twins in a virtual space. Gravitational Healthcare Method.
Digital Technology will combine its artificial intelligence capabilities and medical data. Digital therapy for diet management using artificial intelligence (AI) and evolutionary artificial pancreas using life logs of patients with diabetes, with continuous blood glucose meter, food tag, activity tracker and insulin pump. AI Diet Management Solution is a technology that helps manage diet by automatically recognizing food types, nutrients, and calories through AI image recognition technology. It is an analysis method.
A digital META-twin with these technologies will make it possible to predict the condition of patients with diabetes and effectively treat diabetes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & METAVERSE line.
Rehabilitation of a person through a change in habits, lifestyle, interaction with the environment. When we not only know exactly our main indicators of the health, but also can, in the form of a digital META-twin, try to go the way and see what will happen if we don’t change anything in our habits today.
And most likely, we will be able to afford more and have an independent lifestyle in our real life.
