Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the metaverse, and smart healthcare is transforming medical services, offering real-time diagnosis, remote monitoring, and immersive patient experiences. This chapter explores the role of fog, edge, and cloud computing in deploying AI-infused metaverse applications within smart healthcare. Cloud computing enables a large-scale of AI training, storage, and services related to telemedicine, while edge computing provides the facilities of real-time AI inference through wearables and IoT-driven healthcare solutions. Fog computing bridges the gap by decentralizing the AI processing, reducing latency, and improving network efficiency for various applications such as robotic surgeries, smart hospitals, and AI based virtual therapies. A comparative analysis shows the various advantages, challenges, and suitable use cases of each paradigm, focusing real-time decision-making, cost efficiency, and security. This chapter concludes by discussing future trends in AI healthcare, blockchain-integrated ...
