Prepare for surgery using our patient-tested, proprietary music that engages “rhythmic entrainment.” FEATURES: -Music that has been curated and sequenced by professional music medicine practitioners for its ability to engage rhythmic entrainment -Music that has the perfect mood and tempo for calming the surgical patient, but it not familiar to the patient -Music that is not familiar is superior during surgery because music carries powerful associations that could trigger a negative memory -Music that has been tested in hospitals and dental clinics around the world and found to be exceptionally soothing and calming WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING: “This app is awesome! So easy to download and install. I took it to the hospital on my iPhone and they paired it with their bluetooth headphones. Music was beautiful and the knee replacement was not a trauma for me, as I feared!” “Promise fulfilled! I was so worried about having general anesthesia for my surgery, but because I was calmed with this music, they were able to do the surgery with spinal anesthesia.” “Dr. Cash, the surgery that I had for an aortic aneurysm was a complete success. The music was beautiful and the doctors and medical staff were fascinated. What was predicted to take 4-5 hours only took less than two. I was predicted to be in ICU for 3-4 days, but was discharged in 24 hours. The entire surgical team believes that the music was a huge factor. Thank you so much!” WHY DOWNLOAD: This innovative app provides the surgical patient with one of five different playlists in different genres. Each playlist is approximately an hour long and repeats continuously until playlist is stopped. Patients using this proprietary music have reported, • Less anxiety • Less pain • Less nausea and vomiting • Less opioid consumption • More positive patient experience • Faster discharge from hospital This music is also sold on pre-loaded headphones and has been used around the world for pain and anxiety management. Introducing the mobile app allows users and hospitals to provide a safer and more satisfying surgical experience, using their own or hospital-provided smart phones and blue-tooth headphons/earbuds.
