Foxbusiness.com has reported that IBM has launched a 3D Virtual Healtcare Island in Second Life. The 3D virtual island was created to illustrate the challenges facing today's healthcare industry and the role information technology will play in transforming global healthcare delivery to meet patient needs.
The IBM 3D Virtual Healthcare Island is designed with a futuristic atmosphere and provides visitors with an interactive demonstration of IBM's open-standards-based Health Information Exchange (HIE) architecture.
Patient avatars arrive and are welcomed at the Central Park and then visit a Central Information Hub, where IBM's view of the healthcare industry and the power of information technology to transform it are presented. An amphitheater on the Hub's second floor provides an area that can support virtual meetings, complete with a large video screen and accompanying slide presentation on IBM's HIE architecture and the positive impact that this technology can have in the transformation of the Healthcare Industry.

The following areas are currently available on IBM's 3D Virtual Healthcare Island:
The Patient's Home, The Laboratory, The Clinic, The Pharmacy, The Hospital, The Emergency Room. Each area features a different simulation which helps to demonstrate IBM's strategic healthcare vision.
3Dwalkthroughs.com is currently working on developing our own 3D virtual platform specifically geared towards the health and fitness industry. We will certainly use IBM's 3D Virtual Healthcare Island as a role model while we move forward with the development of our own 3D platform.
