About Us
“Listening to Mozart’s piano sonatas helped relax critically ill patients by lowering stress hormone levels. It also reduced levels of interleukin-6 in the blood – a protein associated with higher mortality rates, diabetes and heart problems.”
Overture for growth hormone: Requiem for interleukin-6. Claudius Conrad, MD, PhD; Hanno Niess, Karl-Walter Jauch, MD, Christiane J. Bruns, MD, PhD, Wolfgang H. Hartl, MD, Lorenz Welker, MD – Massachusetts General Hospital
The co-founders, directors, staff and advisors at MediMusic all share a common focus – the benefit of music to health and building an evidence-based service where music can be dispensed like a drug.
