MuViCure – the audiovisual project
A combination between nature-film and specially designed music.
MuViCure – Music & Visual Cure
It is scientifically proven that nature has a healing effect on humans, and the basic idea about MuViCure is to bring the experience from the nature, combined with MusiCure to improve the ambience around the hospitalized patient, across cultural and geographical boundaries.
During more than six years, different studies have been made within hospitals, care-homes etc. with different patient groups suffering from anxiety, PTSD, pain, sleep disorders, ambulant surgery, epidural treatment and more.
All MuViCure programs utilize the music and visual elements that research has shown to have a positive impact on relaxation and positive inspiration - and getting there was more complex than first expected.
The audiovisual programs are used for calming during MR,CT scan, which at the same time makes the patient lie still.
The observations and refined adjustments from patient feedback and hospital staff experiences has been a long process, and necessary adjustments was made to get the optimized audiovisual experience. Many scenes had to be removed, like dramatic landscapes, frosty tones, three-dimensional camera movements and more.
Hospitalized patients are sensitive to audiovisual content, and at the same time their reactions are a confirmation of how important it is to have a hospital policy about the content, and select relaxing programs with care.
The MuViCure benefits are indicated according to preliminary study feedback, such as:
- Reduced consumption of painkillers and sedatives.
- Stabilization of the pulse and heart rate
- Improved ambience around patients makes them feel more safe and secure.
- Faster recovery achieved by higher degree of mental well being.
- Positive impressions in general of the hospital experience.
