Results Through Evidence Based Solutions
Genote technology was developed through the collaborations of universities, hospitals and clinics with the specific goal to improve human life through music and sounds. In the period 1990-2013, 1,939 scientific publications on music and medicine have been published by reputable scientific journals.
By matching psychophysiological parameters with supreme music and elite artistic performances standards, Genote takes a bold step forward in the development of non-invasive, alternative medicine. Genote sets a new paradigm in the analysis and production of therapeutic music.
STRESS REDUCTION
Each of us struggles with excessive stress. Even if some stress can help us improve personal performance, prolonged periods with high levels of stress, have harmful and possibly long-lasting consequence for physical and psychological wellbeing.
Listening to music inteventions is shown to reduce stress and anxiety.(3) Studies show how it can also decrease cortisol levels (4;5), reduce heart rate and blood pressure (6) in people of all ages. The Genote Library works to minimize the effects of chronic stress and improve mental, physical and emotional health.
RECOVERY
We need to be able to return to a normal state of health, strength and mindfulness after physical and mental fatigue. Sometimes, we need to recover from traumatic events or medical procedures. Non-invasive, evidence based tools are fundamental for a faster and better recovery.
Studies show how music interventions have a positive effect on acute pain (9), reduction of anxiety, reduction of cortisol levels (10) and improved mood (11). Music interventions are also associated with a decrease in the analgesic and sedative requirements during and after invasive surgery.(12)
SLEEP HEALTH
Sleep is considered by research, the basic element for a productive and healthy life. 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. Exessive sugar intake, exposure to handheld devices and lack of physical exercise are determining factors in developing cronic insomnia and restlessness.
Improved sleep quality is showed by subjective and objective data when music interventions are adopted as part of a bedtime routine.(1) Multiple reviews found a strict correlation between music and enhanced relaxation.(2)
BOOST YOUR FOCUS
Focus and concetration are required skills in our daily life. From executing difficult assignments, to sport performance or even the simplest tasks, we must constantly tune our capacity to focus and concentrate.
Studies found that music interventions lead to a broad variety of enhanced positive effects such as improved organized thinking (7), greater energy efficacy, improved focus, lower perceived extertion and faster timed trial performances.(8)
