Adapting Medical Museums: Technology, Education, and Research

Abstract

In Malaysia, medical museums are transforming, extending their reach beyond conventional medical student training to encompass public education and health awareness. This modernisation incorporates cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing, QR codes, augmented reality, diversified exhibitions, and hands-on learning experiences. The overarching goal is to captivate a broader audience while advancing medical research and public health education. To achieve this, strategies like interactive exhibits and multi-sector collaborations are employed. This study explores the role of medical museums and the impact of technological innovations on visitor experience and engagement.
