A computational system and method for digital modeling of cardiac cell membrane electrophysiology is disclosed. The system generates a digital model representing the cell membrane as a dielectric lipid bilayer comprising a capacitor element and a resistor element, where the resistor element is emulated by a plurality of ion channels. The system calculates cell membrane potential based on intracellular and extracellular concentrations of key ions, such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl-, using the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation. Generation of cellular membrane action potentials is simulated by modeling the opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels in response to triggering events. The model provides dynamic visualizations of the distinct phases of the action potential, including depolarization and repolarization, offering a high-fidelity tool for research and for enhancing the realism of training simulations in electrophysiology procedures.
