Using Modern Technologies to Learn Medical Terminology in the Educational Process

Abstract

The use of modern technologies in medical terminology has become an important aspect of healthcare education, significantly increasing the efficiency and accessibility of learning. The relevance of this topic is determined by the increasing complexity of medical terms and the growing need for medical professionals to acquire accurate communication competence.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the role of modern technologies in the study of medical terminology, to identify their impact on the educational process and to evaluate their effectiveness in improving the medical and professional competence of higher education students.

Methods: analysis of scientific literature, generalisation and systematisation.

Results. The study examines various technological tools, including digital platforms, mobile applications, artificial intelligence, adaptive learning systems, and immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These tools have been proven to improve medical terminology learning by providing a personalised, interactive and visually engaging learning experience. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), specialised medical terminology apps, and telemedicine platforms are helping to expand access to quality higher education by enabling students to develop terminology skills in a clinical context. Artificial intelligence-based educational systems provide adaptive learning, adapting content to individual progress. At the same time, virtual and augmented reality creates immersive environments that enhance the perception of medical vocabulary through practical application.

Conclusions. The findings point to problems such as inequality in technological access, the need for teacher training, and concerns about the accuracy of digital educational materials. However, these limitations can be mitigated by institutional support, continuous technological progress, and the development of standardised educational content. Thus, using modern technologies to study medical terminology is a significant step in the development of medical education. By integrating AI, VR, artificial intelligence, MOOCs, and interactive learning platforms, students and medical professionals can develop an in-depth understanding of medical terminology conveniently and effectively.
