Abstract
This scoping review systematically examines the emerging field of multimodal family engagement technologies in intensive care units (ICUs). Despite significant advancements in medical technology, family engagement remains an underutilized resource in many ICU settings. This review consolidates current evidence by evaluating the effectiveness of these systems in improving patient outcomes and family satisfaction. By synthesizing data on system development, implementation, and outcomes, this article aims to guide future research and clinical integration. It focuses on overcoming existing barriers and maximizing the potential of these technologies in intensive care environments.
