The effectiveness of augmented reality/mixed reality in medical education: a meta-analysis
This meta-analysis highlights the effectiveness and user acceptance of AR/MR in medical education, particularly in skill training, although no significant improvement was observed in knowledge learning. The findings provide a foundational evidence base for the further expansion of AR/MR applications in medical education. However, it should be noted that these estimates may be influenced by heterogeneity and publication bias.
