The term MedVerse has been coined to describe how the infrastructure layers of the metaverse can be adopted in the health care sector, to enable the distribution of contents and interact with patients. In the last 2 years, a large amount of proof-of-concept metaverse-based technologies and applications have been proposed in several medical realms. However, the advent of such an expensive, hypercomplex technology promoted as a new instrument with a strong incentive to invest time and money in digital items (driving revenue for some categories) poses several legal challenges. Here, we discuss the main legal issues (the so-called LawVerse) related to their application to the clinical metaverses realms.

Abstract
The term MedVerse has been coined to describe how the infrastructure layers of the metaverse can be adopted in the health care sector, to enable the distribution of contents and interact with patients. In the last 2 years, a large amount of proof-of-concept metaverse-based technologies and applications have been proposed in several medical realms. However, the advent of such an expensive, hypercomplex technology promoted as a new instrument with a strong incentive to invest time and money in digital items (driving revenue for some categories) poses several legal challenges. Here, we discuss the main legal issues (the so-called LawVerse) related to their application to the clinical metaverses realms.
