Product testing has shown our plug-in smpl Music Player is also simple to use. End result: by engaging their minds, our smpl Music Player makes a significant contribution to seniors’ quality of life. This also helps promote independent living, allowing seniors to stay in their homes longer.

A recent study carried out by NHS Fife found that using music as a distraction technique significantly reduced levels of agitation and led to them becoming markedly less stressed during clinical procedures in 96 of cases.

Healthcare Professionals acknowledge familiar music therapy as a way of improving seniors’ awareness, knowledge, and clarity of expression. The link between music and better health outcomes for patients with dementia isn’t a new one. Jo James, Lead Nurse for Dementia at the Trust, said: We’ve found that patients with dementia are calmer, more alert and able to. Our smpl one-touch Radio & Music player allows seniors, even with very significant cognitive decline from dementia or Alzheimer’s, to listen to music they loved in their youth. Now, thanks to a grant from Imperial Health Charity, MP3 players are giving patients a chance to tune out the stresses of the hospital with personalised music playlists that have been a big hit on the wards.
