Bring Music, Dance and Art to Health Tech Innovation
Join us for dance warm up at 9:15am. Behavior change is the toughest challenge in healthcare, patients and elders suffer from both physical fatigue and severe stress. They are often homebound due to safety concerns and compromised immune systems, triggering isolative depression. Caregivers are more likely to get sick as well. Research shows Creative Arts Therapy improves cancer patients’ Quality of Life by 50% and reduces pain by 59%! Dance reduces the risk of dementia by 76%. The panel will discuss published medical studies on health benefit of art (music, dance, art), and use empathy and design thinking to bring them to health tech innovation to create effective healthy behavior change.
