Dr Marvin A.McMillen MD
Dr Marvin A.McMillen MD, Director of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, at the Beth Israel Medical Center in Central Manhattan, has been prescribing Landscape programming to assist patient recovery from major trauma for many years. He believes that recovering trauma patients that are immersed in a relaxing environment are able to recover in a greatly reduced time period. This has broad reaching implications in terms of the medical industry as with the reduction of recovery time comes a greater number of available hospital beds and a reduced usage of traditional medicines. LandscapeHD programming is at the core of this equation as it is the music and imagery that have this profound effect.

Critical Care Medicine Report
In the Decemebr 2007 issue of Critical Care Medicine a study was carried out on the effects of listening to Mozart's slow movements through earphones to 10 critically ill patients. It measured cardiac, endocrine, adrenalin, cortisone, and inflammatory markers of stress. This is a critical study but it's by no means conclusive, it legitimizes the concept that the effect of the healing environment can be quantitated in a way acceptable to most physicians and hospital planners. It opens a door and substantiates legitimacy.
Research Funding
Dr McMillen is currently looking for funding to carry out a full report into the the clinical effects of immersing recovering major trauma patients in LandscapeHD's relaxing programming. Those interested, or who wish to contribute to funding Landscape stress research, should contact Dr Marvin A.McMillen MD, Director of Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York New York for further information. |
