In some parts of the world, "virtual human" technology has been applied to the medical field to provide healthcare support, training and consultation.

Remote healthcare: Virtual humans are used in remote healthcare applications, such as chatbots or virtual avatars, to provide consultation, answer patient questions and provide medical information. In Korea, some hospitals use virtual assistants to help patients understand the treatment process or support health monitoring.

Psychological counseling and emotional support: This technology has been applied to build virtual psychological support systems, such as AI therapists, that can listen and chat with users. Some platforms use virtual humans to perform cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or support people with mental health problems.

Medical training and surgical practice: In the United States and some European countries, companies have developed virtual characters to simulate patients, helping doctors practice communication skills, diagnose, and treat patients in a safe environment. This technology is useful in surgical training, as doctors can practice complex surgical procedures on virtual simulators before practicing on real people.

Monitoring and reminders: Virtual characters in mobile applications can remind patients to take medication, exercise, or measure blood pressure. For example, in Japan, some applications have used virtual characters to help elderly patients monitor their daily health, ensure treatment compliance, and reduce feelings of loneliness.

These applications are receiving great attention in the medical field because they help reduce the workload of medical staff, enhance the personalized care experience, and improve public health.
