Description

What we hope to achieve; Solving health inequalities; - Access to expertise across several fields of medicine, psychiatry and surgery, who will provide health education to the users of Decentraland (no matter where in the world you are from) Improving health; - Focussing on key health issues, we can aim to improve and empower users, through education, to make healthy choices and understand more about disease and medicine Mental health support; - With access to psychiatrists and psychologists, we will have a particular focus on mental health education and support. We know this is a key issue globally, and in particular amidst the global pandemic. Community driven; - We want to ensure we are delivering and catering to the needs of the community. We will ensure that the direction of our educational events are driven by the community, and focussed on the areas that matter the most to you. How we hope to achieve this; - Weekly live educational events Each week there will be a doctor led event, where education on a particular health topic will be delivered to the community. These will be interactive, and include dedicated time for questions and answers. - Dedicated sessions on mental health Delivered by psychiatrists/psychologists, we will have sessions dedicated purely for mental health support and chats. - A list of trusted health professionals We will continue to build on our bank of trusted healthcare professionals, all of whom will be fully registered and indemnified by their national medical councils. The future aims of the project; We are hoping to expand our project to run virtual medical clinics for the users of Decentraland. This will mean that you can access a one on one appointment with a fully trained and indemnified doctor/nurse for health advice/management. There are several legal and indemnity requirements that need to be addressed in order for this to become a reality, and we hope that these can be worked out sooner rather than later (watch this space!)... this will be a world's first in the Metaverse.
