Importance of Health Communications
FACT: Communications is one of the most important tools in our nation’s healthcare system. It is required on all service levels ranging from patient-doctor, pharmacist-patient, parent-child, teacher-student, and system-public communications.
The Groovy Pyramid mission is to develop new applications for music-based health communications.
Music-Based Health Communications
DEFINITION: The use of melody, instrumentation, and vocal harmony to enhance the presentation and delivery of health education to individuals and communities. Health education messages are traditionally delivered through channels such as face-to-face conversations, television/radio, PSA’s, billboards and print materials.
The principal focus of the Groovy Pyramid is to increase the use of musical songs in health communications.
