Thanks, your research sounds really fascinating!

You should check out our other feature story Hip-Hop Health: http://www.healthymagination.com/stories/hip-ho…. It is about a doctor in Harlem who uses hip-hop to teach kids about the signs of stroke.

We’d love to learn more about your research. Are you focusing on any particular kinds of music? Or, age groups?

First, we want to thank you for putting out such a great blog! Keep up the good work.

At GE, we also believe the patient should be the center of focus. The goal of our technology and services is essentially to provide better care and outcomes for the patient. Empowering the patient to be a storyteller can be so important, especially when it comes to pediatrics.

As we know, most medical equipment in healthcare, like a big MR or CT machine, can be really overwhelming and stressful for pediatric patients. When children need to go through the process of having an imaging scan, it can be very scary for them. GE recently partnered with the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC to design an entire experience centered on the medical imaging process that enables children to have a scan in a pirate ship, jungle or underwater adventure.

Recognizing patients as individuals and addressing their needs beyond medical science and technology can be critical to patients’ well-being, especially for pediatric patients. We believe each patient experience should be a story – an adventure that can make them forget they are even in a hospital.
