Effective music in all genres.

A locally placed server and ioT technology ensure a real-time connection with the supplier.
Outstanding service
Expert help with implementation and beyond.
How it works
The administration of Music4five requires only simple actions by a caregiver, handing out , taking back , cleaning and charging . In most cases, the patient can do the rest.

The effect of music on well-being
Music4five stands for
administering of music to
to reduce the five common negative effects around surgery as experienced by the patient.
How great would it be if music was available for everyone undergoing surgery?

Treatments
“It is an unique treatment without side effects, sustainable and cost-effective. This is partly because there is no packaging involved and we have to give less painkillers. Finally, perhaps most importantly, it significantly increases patient satisfaction.”
- Professor J. Jeekel, Professor of Surgery (retired) Erasmus MC-
“It's pretty crazy that music hasn't been implemented in healthcare yet.
We know that when patients are anxious before surgery, they experience more pain after surgery. If we can reduce that with music, you will also see that the patient will need less medication.”
-Ellaha Kakar, medical researcher Music as Medicine Erasmus MC-
