Control System Applications for Diabetes Monitoring in the Metaverse: A Scoping Review

Abstract

There has been a surge in curiosity about the "metaverse" and conversations around what this platform can provide to other scientific disciplines are already starting to take shape. In this paper, we examine the most important possibilities and unanswered questions on how a metaverse, and control theory are working together to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases that such as diabetes. We can employ fundamental ideas of control theory to understand the real risk posed by immersive technologies, or we can apply these ideas to effectively use immersive technologies in the healthcare sector.
