Medical simulators have revolutionized clinical training, particularly in teaching skills such as cardiac auscultation. This review synthesizes recent advances in the technological design and implementation of cardiac simulators for medical education, alongside scientometric and patentometric analyses. The focus is on innovations enhancing efficacy, safety, and accessibility. Analyses included 69 patents published over the past five years, sourced from Google Patents, Patentscope, Espacenet, and The Lens. A bibliometric analysis was performed using 52 scientific reports from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and The Lens within the same timeframe. Key findings indicate an 8% increase in AI-integrated cardiac auscultation devices compared to conventional equipment. Furthermore, 85% of the studies reported compliance with applicable regulations of at least 90%, reflecting improved regulatory alignment. This analysis provides a foundation for future research and the development of more accurate and accessible educational tools for cardiac auscultation training.
医学模拟器彻底改变了临床培训，尤其是在诸如心脏听诊等技能教学方面。本综述综合了用于医学教育的心脏模拟器在技术设计和实施方面的最新进展，以及科学计量学和专利计量学分析。重点是提高疗效、安全性和可及性的创新。分析包括过去五年发布的69项专利，这些专利来自谷歌专利、专利合作条约国际专利检索数据库、欧洲专利局专利数据库和The Lens。使用同一时期来自PubMed、ScienceDirect和The Lens的52份科学报告进行了文献计量分析。主要发现表明，与传统设备相比，集成人工智能的心脏听诊设备增加了8%。此外，85%的研究报告称符合至少90%的适用法规，这反映了监管一致性的提高。该分析为未来的研究以及开发更准确、更易获取的心脏听诊培训教育工具奠定了基础。
