A total of 80 clinical medicine undergraduates in the 2022 class were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (digital teaching) and a control group (traditional teaching), with 40 students in each group. The experimental group used the digital interactive teaching mode based on the virtual geriatric ward, which included three-dimensional (3D) brain science visualization (NeuroVR), holographic projection technology (HoloLens2), virtual cognitive assessment (CogTrack) and multirole scenario simulation. The results revealed that the experimental group was significantly better than the control group in terms of multiple dimensions of teaching satisfaction, especially outstanding performance in terms of “enhancement of patient communication skills”, “course vividness”, and “cultivation of love and injury awareness” (all P < 0.05). Female students had greater acceptance of digital teaching (e.g., “increased interest in learning”). This study shows that interactive digital teaching can effectively improve the teaching effect of geriatric medicine and enhance the clinical practice ability and humanistic quality of students, which provides new insights for the training of medical talent in an aging society. In the future, the application of technology can be further optimized to achieve deep integration with traditional teaching.
