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.

Nautilus Book Award Names 2013 Gold Winner in Religion – Spirituality

Posted on by

McLean, VA (PRWEB) July 07, 2013

The prestigious Nautilus Book Award has named its 2013 Gold Winner in Religion/spirituality (Western traditions): Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind. Author Margaret Placentra Johnston is a practicing optometrist in Alexandria, VA and Georgetown, DC. Faith Beyond Belief is her first book.

After helping people see better in the physical world for many years while practicing Optometry in Northern Virginia, Margaret Placentra Johnston began to notice a greater need to inspire clearer vision of a different sort in our larger society. Certain factions of our societyand many in the mediaproceed as though completely unaware of a concept that is largely accepted in the fields of psychology of religion and philosophy of religion.

Despite its subtitle, the book that finally emerged from this dilemma, Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind is not at all a book against religion. Rather it calls readers to a broader, more sophisticated understanding of religious belief than that preached from in the typical pulpit. Showing the correlations in the work of twelve notable theorists in a field that should come to be known as spiritual development theory, Faith Beyond Belief lays out steps a person must traverse on the road to spiritual maturity. Rigid religious conformity based on outer authority from a religious leader or holy book is not near the top of this journey - nor is literal interpretation of religious texts. The steps are illustrated in the appealing format of real life people sharing true stories about how they moved from one spiritual development stage to the next.

Margaret is confident that an understanding of the spiritual stages could bring an end to religious intolerance. Faith Beyond Belief shares how a birds eye view of religious belief versus non-belief from a spiritual development perspective can lead to a kinder, more gentle world. Several religious professionals one with a PhD in developmental psychology - have confidentially told Margaret: You wrote the book I should have written. Professors of Psychology of Religion courses are considering (one confirmed so far) using this book as required reading for their students.

Nautilus Book Award (Better Books for a Better World) is granted to exceptional literary contributions to spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, green values, responsible leadership and positive social change. Former Nautilus winners include Desmond Tutu , Deepak Chopra, Barbara Kingsolver, Thich Nhat Hanh, Caroline Myss, Gregg Braden, and Eckhart Tolle.

Publisher Quest Books dedicates itself to open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life, and help people explore individual spiritual self-transformation.

More can be found on the books website: FaithBeyondBelief-book.com. Designed to stretch conventional understandings about religion, the Faith Beyond Belief message serves as an excellent discussion topic. Readers are invited to suggest this book to any discussion groups interested in this type of exploration. Margaret can be available to physically visit or Skype in to such gatherings, and/or to guest speak at churches, or other group meeting. She can be reached through the contact link at FaithBeyondBelief-book.com.
