This narrative review encompasses acomprehensive examination of the existing literature in this field by amulticenter, multidisciplinary, and multiprofessional team aiming to analyze the current developments and potential future directions of using art and technology for patient engagement. 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. Art therapy and technologies can be ancillary supports for healthcare professionals but are not substitutive of their expertise and responsibilities.
