Highlights

● This study introduces an AI-empowered blended teaching model for disaster medicine, integrating generative AI, virtual simulations, and intelligent assessment systems to improve teaching efficiency and student engagement.

● The model employs a “dual-teacher collaboration” approach, combining AI-driven tools with human instructors to foster critical thinking and ethical awareness in disaster response training.

● A multidimensional evaluation system was developed, combining dynamic AI-based assessments, scenario- driven simulations, and long-term tracking to provide personalized feedback and support continuous learning.

● The course emphasizes interdisciplinary integration across engineering, information technology, and psychology, aiming to cultivate comprehensive disaster management competence and strengthen professional responsibility.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is profoundly transforming innovation and development in healthcare and education. In this study, we developed an AI-empowered blended learning model for disaster medicine. Leveraging the Rain Classroom platform, we established a comprehensive intelligent teaching support system covering the entire learning cycle—pre-class, in-class, and post-class. Through AI-driven enhancements, the model enables intelligent resource allocation, personalized learning paths, and high-fidelity simulation of practical training scenarios. Moreover, it addresses key challenges in traditional disaster medicine education, including fragmented knowledge delivery, insufficient practical training environments, and limited evaluation methods. Ultimately, the model enhances both the efficiency and effectiveness of disaster medicine education.
