The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) launches the worldās first Metaverse customer happiness service center at the Arab Health 2022, the first experience of its kind in a health exhibition in the world.
The step ushers in a new era of digital reality and human-computer interaction in government health care services, by enhancing the integration of the real, virtual and digital world.
The Ministryās stand at the Arab Health being held at the Dubai Trade Center from January 24 to 27, will be a unique stage to showcase this unique technology and test the performance of virtual activities that provide real experiences in one of the most innovative and future initiatives launched by the ministry.
Although the full version of theĀ MOHAPĀ MetaHealth platform is expected to be launched by mid-2022, visitors to Arab Health 2022 will have the opportunity to instantly teleport into the world of MetaHealth and choose to speak with a real employee from the Customer Happiness Center in a must-try experience.
The UAE ministry of health receives visitors at its stand at Arab Health 2022 and invites them to experience MetaHealth to learn how the ministry is well prepared for the future and its commitment to providing services beyond expectations.
The new technology also provides an opportunity for customers to join the MetaHealth space and move from their current location to the Ministryās virtual Customer Happiness Center, without actually crossing the distance between the two areas. Customers, then, can request information, submit documents, pay fees and more, with the actual faces of users being displayed in the virtual room instead of avatars.
The new service also provides a tangible solution for the people of determination who are unable to move physically from their homes to one of the Ministryās customer happiness centers and finish their transactions smoothly.
