Abstract

Arts and humanities have central roles to play to transform the culture of care, wellbeing, and health. How we educate health care professionals and artists is shifting in response to global pressures, and a rapidly accelerating tech-fueled world. This chapter explores the intersections of arts, health, technology, education, and society.
