Articine creates human-centered healthcare education using film, performance, storytelling, and reflection to help healthcare professionals communicate more compassionately and care more effectively.

Founded in 2020, Articine is an LGBTQ+ and woman-founded nonprofit developing high-engagement learning experiences for healthcare, behavioral health, academic, and community-based training settings. Our work helps professionals better understand the lived experience of patients and families, strengthen communication, and apply more person-centered approaches in real care environments.

Our established program, Dottie, is an accredited dementia education experience that combines film, storytelling, and structured discussion to help clinicians understand dementia from the patient’s point of view. Dottie is designed to improve empathy, reduce distress-inducing communication habits, and support more dignity-preserving, person-centered care.

Dottie has been used in academic, clinical, and community healthcare settings. Evaluation data show that 100% of surveyed medical residents agreed the experience helped them better recognize the emotional needs of patients and caregivers, and residency directors rated the program either more effective than or comparable to traditional sessions on the same topic.

Articine is also developing Shadows, an emerging human-centered healthcare education initiative focused on substance use disorder, stigma reduction, and compassionate care. Building on the educational model established through Dottie, Shadows is being developed to help healthcare and behavioral health professionals engage the lived realities of addiction with greater empathy and understanding.

Through short, practical, and emotionally resonant learning experiences, Articine supports healthcare education, workforce development, communication training, reflective practice, patient experience, and compassionate care.
