ABSTRACT. Based on an in-depth survey of the literature, the purpose of the paper is to explore metaverse-based medical simulations, digital patient scanning, and big healthcare data. Throughout July 2024, a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases was performed, with search terms including “remote medical procedures and consultations across 3D clinics” + “Internet of Things-based smart healthcare technologies,” “metaverse-based medical operating systems,” and “real-time 3D virtual diagnosis and treatment simulations.” As research published between 2022 and 2024 was inspected, only 168 articles satisfied the eligibility criteria, and 29 mainly empirical sources were selected. Data visualization tools: Dimensions (bibliometric mapping) and VOSviewer (layout algorithms). Reporting quality assessment tool: PRISMA. Methodological quality assessment tools include: CADIMA, DistillerSR, Litstream, PICO Portal, ROBIS, and SRDR+.

Keywords: Internet of Things-based smart healthcare; metaverse-based medical operating system; real-time 3D virtual diagnosis and treatment simulation; remote medical procedure and consultation; 3D clinic
