Coro Health Launches Suite of Therapeutic Music and Spirituality Apps

Posted on by

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Coro Health, LLC, a new media healthcare company, has launched a breakthrough suite of therapeutic music and spirituality mHealth apps for use by individuals as well as by professionals in a broad range of healthcare environments. The programs are available in the Apple iTunes store and offer free previews.

The suite includes six apps, each targeted to a particular segment of the healthcare community. These include MusicFirst: Eldercare, MusicFirst: Alzheimers, MusicFirst: Oncology, MusicFirst: Expecting, MusicFirst: Calm Baby and CoroFaith: mFaith.

Coro Health was founded in 2009, offering personalized clinically-proven therapeutic music programs to healthcare organizations and aging communities. Early adopters of Coro Healths MusicFirst include over 1000 long-term care communities, hospitals, rehabilitation agencies, home health companies, consumers and third party media distributors, supporting over 100,000 people per day.

The app versions of the Coro Health products, including the addition of mFaith, revolutionize the delivery of wellness support to individuals and professionals throughout the healthcare community, says Coro Health CCO Leanne Flask. Our apps are the first to address the challenge of making therapeutic music as well as spiritual content personalized, accessible and affordable.

Unlike music radio apps that provide genre-based music based on popularity, MusicFirsts programs are designed by a respected team of music therapists, designers and neuroscientists specifically for use in home as well as in a broad range of healthcare environments.

While still giving the individual the choice of genre, drawing upon a library of over 1000 hours of music, MusicFirst allows the individuals, family caregivers and healthcare professionals to select personalized therapeutic music with particular outcomes in mind. For example, for individuals working with the elderly, choices include Energy, Relax and Sleep.

CoroFaith: mFaith is the first mHealth app to offer individuals access to a customized audio library of inspirational readings, prayers, sermons and meditations from the religious or spiritual tradition of their choice. Drawing from over 1000 hours of content, CoroFaith was designed to provide spiritual and religious continuity for individuals from a broad range of beliefs and traditions for personal use as well as in healthcare settings.

Individuals can tap into their customized program through mobile devices, operating iOs 4.3 or higher.

NASA Invites Children, Families to Learn About NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory Mission

Posted on by

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. will host this month's Sunday Experiment on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 1 to 3 p.m. EDT. The Sunday Experiment is a free afternoon for children of all ages and their families to discover NASA Goddard's exciting missions.

The Sept. 15 Sunday Experiment will explore NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission. SDO was launched in 2010, and is currently studying solar activity and how it causes space weather. Space weather affects our lives on Earth, and even satellites and astronauts out in space!

SDO is helping us understand where the sun's energy comes from, what happens inside of the sun, and how energy is stored and released in the sun's atmosphere. By better understanding the sun and how it works, we will be able to better predict space weather events.

Planned hands-on activities to be featured this month include building an electromagnet, comparing the magnetic fields of the Earth and sun using a "magnaprobe," and experimenting with UV light detectors.

Participants at Sunday Experiment event will learn about solar events and how they affect Earth from an SDO scientist; they can also participate in hands-on activities that explore the magnetic fields of the sun and ultraviolet light. Families will leave inspired by the activities, wowed by the scientists and engineers, and excited about Goddard's revolutionary research and technology. Visitors can witness the mesmerizing Science on a Sphere and explore the cosmos and Goddard's cutting edge science and discovery.

The Sunday Experiment usually held the third Sunday of each month from Sept. through May, with some exceptions, spotlights Goddard's world-renowned science and engineering research and technological developments. Families leave inspired by the activities, wowed by the scientists and engineers, and excited about Goddard's revolutionary research and technology. In addition to celebrating all things science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the Sunday Experiment celebrates major science missions that are managed by Goddard and set to launch in the near future.
