Funded Activity Summary

Designing sound for health and wellbeing. Up to 5 million Australian Emergency patients per annum may benefit from research to be conducted by composers and musicians from the School of Art, RMIT University and medical practitioners and clinical health psychologists based in the Emergency Department at St. Vincent's Hospital - Melbourne. Researchers will investigate whether soundtracks and musical compositions developed for Emergency patients can lower levels of anxiety. Outcomes from the study could lead to reductions in patients' stress and unnecessary nursing and medical attention - all of which could lead to less anxiety in Emergency patients and potential savings in Hospital budgets.
