Abstract
This systematic review aimed to identify how tele-mentoring systems that incorporate
augmented reality (AR) technology are being used in healthcare environments. A total of 12
electronic bibliographic databases were searched using the terms "augmented reality", "telementoring" and "health". The PRISMA checklist was used as a guide for reporting. The
mixed method appraisal tool was used to assess the quality of the included experiments. The
data were then analysed using a concept-centric approach and categorised primarily with
regards to system performance and task performance measures. A total of 11 randomised
controlled trials and 14 non-randomised designs were included for review. Both mentees and
mentors assessed the system and task performance according to 25 categories. The feedback
of mentees using AR tele-mentoring systems was generally positive. The majority of
experiments revealed that the AR system was an effective tele-mentoring device overall and
resulted in the effective performance of a procedure. Benefits included improvements in
trainees’ confidence, task completion time and reductions in task errors and shifts in focus.
However, the systems had limitations, including heaviness of the equipment, inconvenience,
discomfort and distraction of wearing devices, limited battery life, the latency of video and
audio signals and limited field of view.
