Title A name given to the resource A Glimpse into the Future: AI, Digital Humans, and the Metaverse Opportunities and Challenges for Life Sciences in Immersive Ecologies Subject The topic of the resource AI; Augmented reality; Digital humans; Digital twins; Extended reality; Metaverse; Mixed reality; Virtual reality Description An account of the resource The Metaverse is poised to have a significant impact in life sciences, especially in the healthcare sector. In the near future, genomic data along with AI and extended reality may be used to enhance digital humans to create digital twins to be used for virtual world interactions, or manipulated to obtain insights for real-world healthcare decision-making. In addition, extended reality may enable more robust population-based research and faster drug discovery, and permit the creation of virtual spaces and immersive environments for patients and physicians alike. In this chapter, we examine aspects of extended reality and AI that will play important roles in various areas of life sciences and discuss the future of life sciences in the Metaverse. 2023 John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd.
