Background And Objectives: Multiple studies have shown that visual arts training has improved observational and communication skills and empathy among medical students and resident physicians. The benefits of such training for neurology residents remain scarce. This project aims to introduce neurology residents to the world of visual arts, improve their observational skills, foster their empathic skills, and provide them with a unique space for self-expression.

Drawing inspiration from the popular novel and Netflix series, the dynamic interplay between the science of medical knowledge, the art of empathy and narrative competence, and the advancement of healthcare technologies to harmonise the diverse, yet interconnected domains, of medication management, medical humanities and digital health is demonstrated - in the emerging field of Digital Health Humanities.
