Abstract

Objective

To understand whether art and technology (mainly conversational agents) may help oncology patients to experience a more humanized journey.

Methods

This narrative review encompasses a comprehensive examination of the existing literature in this field by a multicenter, multidisciplinary, and multiprofessional team aiming to analyze the current developments and potential future directions of using art and technology for patient engagement.

Results

We identified three major themes of patient engagement with art and three major themes of patient engagement with technologies. Two real-case scenarios are reported from our experience to practically envision how findings from the literature can be implemented in different contexts.

Conclusion

Art therapy and technologies can be ancillary supports for healthcare professionals but are not substitutive of their expertise and responsibilities. Such tools may help to convey a more empathetic and uplifting patient journey if properly integrated within clinical practice, whereby the humanistic touch of medicine remains pivotal.

盟友而非敌人--通过技术和艺术为患者创造更加感同身受、令人振奋的就医体验

方法本叙事性综述由一个多中心、多学科和多专业团队对该领域的现有文献进行了全面研究，旨在分析使用艺术和技术促进患者参与的当前发展情况和未来潜在方向。结论艺术治疗和技术可以作为医护人员的辅助支持，但不能取代他们的专业知识和职责。如果将这些工具适当地融入临床实践中，它们可能有助于为患者提供更富同情心、更振奋人心的治疗过程，而医学的人文关怀仍是其中的关键。

期刊介绍： Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, published monthly, is a scientific journal that covers all aspects of oncology with focus on radiooncology, radiation biology and radiation physics. The articles are not only of interest to radiooncologists but to all physicians interested in oncology, to radiation biologists and radiation physicists. The journal publishes original articles, review articles and case studies that are peer-reviewed. It includes scientific short communications as well as a literature review with annotated articles that inform the reader on new developments in the various disciplines concerned and hence allow for a sound overview on the latest results in radiooncology research. Founded in 1912, Strahlentherapie und Onkologie is the oldest oncological journal in the world. Today, contributions are published in English and German. All articles have English summaries and legends. The journal is the official publication of several scientific radiooncological societies and publishes the relevant communications of these societies.
