41% of respondents considered music a vital part of their wellbeing.
Music, like many forms of media, can be used to create Immersive Medicine.
Immersive medicine is the application of medicinal media in the treatment of mind, brain and body. This includes much more than just video games, extending to any form of media that can engage a patient in a sustained flow state.
A new study reveals music provides significant health-related benefits such as stress relief, mood improvement, and increased energy. The study highlights music’s crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for people aged 50 to 80, with 98% reporting at least one health benefit from engaging with music.
The digital therapeutics movement risks being pushed to the wayside if creators do not acknowledge the need for truly engaging therapies.
To wield this power, the therapy designers must be capable of creating immersive experiences, which, in my experience is much more difficult than the creation of a base therapeutic.
